P.S. I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR JAPAN!!! dont get me wrong, a great nation but that time should only be used as an example of HOW NOT TO CONDUCT YOURSELF!!!
What about Saburo Sakai who saved a Dutch transport plane full of civilians in the initial stage of the Pacific War? What about Chiune Sugihara who saved thousands of Jews from the Germans? What about the treatment of Polish officers who were protected by Japanese military during the ww2? These are just a few examples of the things you seem to refuse to accept.
unlike most countries in ww2 japan have NOTHING to be proud of and at no time(that i have ever read) did they conduct themselves in anything other than a shame full way.. 'the storm of war' a very good book expains some of their actions, just some ..one example, they would deliberately target hospistal ships as were easy targets (many examples,some even on film) and then target the survivours (doctors,nurses,injured) with their anti aircraft guns.this ship may have done the same.SHOW NO PRIDE!!
@killercrabman Japan has not done anything to prove its justice because Japanese accept the belief history is made by winner; however, if you do too much I must fight against it for the sake of Japanese children . One example is bellow.
Do you honestly think it was only the Japanese who fired on Innocent civilians? What about the fire bomb raids during WWII that killed far more Japanese civilians than both nuclear weapons combined?
what about British and Dutch`s treatment of people in their colonies? I think Dutch government is still refusing to apologize to Indonesia for what they`ve done in the past. Also, what about American bombers who straffed and killed at least one civillian(a kid) during Doolittle raids when they claimed they never killed anyone during the mission? What about the Japanese pilots who were strictly forbidden to attack any civilians during the attack on PH?
@eine52 Actually no the dutch and the british didn't do medical experiments on their colonies nor did they kill people there en masse. I think you need to read some young man.
You would be veeeryyyy surprised how many atrocites European colonial powers (especially English) comitted during thier "rule" over Asia (otherwise why they were "kindly asked" to TGFOFF from India, Vietnam, Indonesia... but since they were on the so called "light side" of WW II events so no one dare to ask them about this.
The japanese were susposed to take over and be better people than the europeans instead they were far worse. they quickly turned the native populations against them.
This museum is a modeller's dream. I never knew there were so many different types of models. Stores usually only carry the biggest or most famous. These were so cool, some showing the internals, almost every class and era of ship since 1880s, submarines, destroyers, cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers to the largest moden merchantmen and supertankers even some cool sci-fi stuff, the detail just amazing, this super-giant scale model king of them all.
The U.S. had plans to build a battleship called the MONTANA class 60,500 tons and 12 16 inch guns but the ships of this class were never laid down. Too bad that's one hell of a big ship I think she could have given the YAMATO a good run.
The fact of the matter is that on every occasion, the Yamato or her sister ship the Mushashi came anywhere near a US ship, they turned tail and ran.
In the Solomons, at Midway, and again at Leyte Gulf. The IJN were too concerned about loosing their ships than they were fighting them. The Yamato, might have just been a lump of steel for all the good it did the IJN. Their Admirals were cowards. They had us on the ropes at Leyte and ran like little girls just when they could have won.
@Weemancake Americunts...??? Really?? Not all of Americans hate Japanese. I for one admire the Japanese and all they represent. They are an incredible people. In any event I am not an Americunt but I will say that we do have one in the White House now.
Well Surigao Strait and Cape Engano battles shows that some Jpanese Admirals did have spirit to fight until very end but truth is that Kurita who lead central group with Yamato should NEVER have been given command over this mission because at the end he turned out to be greatest coward among all four commanders leading what remain from IJN to Leyte fights by not only loosing WINABLE battle but loosing as well some units to enemy who wasn't even consider as sea fight squadron.
What naivety and total ignorance you display : "the only way the US won is through cheap torpedoes and dive bombing." What exactly do you think a Pacific carrier task force was designed to do, take on the enemy in a boxing match? And what do you think destroyed the US navy at Pearl Harbor, bunches of flowers? Yes, it was torpedoes and dive bombing.
So amazing how the vilified Japanese in WWII were in fact so much more heroic and human than the US government ever told us. This thing is amazing, and the only way the US ever won, was through cheap torpedoes and dive bombing. Head to head the Yamato vs Iowa would have been a spectacular fight to see.
All the history that I was taught in school was just lies held together with tradition.
The fact that you may not like the outcome of the Pacific War in WWII suggests that you have very suspect sympathies but doesn't mean that what you were taught in school was all lies: sort out the difference between biased opinion and indisputable facts. - the brutal fascist Japanese empire was brought to its knees on land, at sea and in the air by a superior allied force led by the US. and absolutely no one in the whole of Asia was sad to see this dehumanising dictatorship crumble to dust.
@Weemancake I would say you sound quite young and don't yet have the higher education which would help you form cogent arguments. I am also not American so I can't "go back" there. What happened to Japan was a tragedy but the government was responsible for choosing war was the only solution to Japan's predicament, I am certainly not anti-Japanese and would never blame the Japanese people but I can recognize that regime for what it was - an ally of the Nazis. Says it all really.
@papertowelheadlock You people should learn from this very wise person, as he/she seems to be some of the few people who isnt spamming american anti-Japanese propaganda and instead tells the truth.
And imagine if we had ever built the Nebraska or the montannas. Nebraska was planned with 9, 20 inch guns. Yamato and the supers both didnt have radar guided fire control systems like we did. In other words they were useless agianst anything the US had also the mark 7,16 inch shell was a better armor penetrater than the 18.1 inch shell yamato had in addition to that the Iowa also had 18.1 inch armor. ; ) Any ways man you are an awsome model maker.
There was a third hull of this class ship. This was the IJN Shinano. It was converted from a battleship during construction to an aircraft carrier. At 62,000 DWT it was the largest aircraft carrier built until the US Navy built the Kitty Hawk class carrier in the early 1960s. Ten days after commissioning pn 1944 she was sunk by the submarine USS Archerfish. It is still the largest warship ever sunk by a submarine. Shinano suffered from poor damage control procedures and equipment.
I don't think the Japanese have lost their fighting spirit one bit. They have merely redirected that energy into there corporate and technological endeavors,
I wanna see this! I built a plastic model as a boy. The Japanese must be so proud to have built the World's Most Powerful Battleship in history. It had a tragic ending and became the World's Largest Kamikaze instead. The Japs failed to counter the US Navy Carrier threat. What a waste.
This vid isdisturbing. but also up lifting. not sure the context.Japan is now a great friend of america As a american whos father fought the axis germany my wifes father japan.these two ships made the US design the Montana class {never built} The Iowa class got the job done.But its a shame the Yamato Bismark Princeof whales king george the5th etc did not survive they where great ships I think that all great weapons remind us of how bad it can get
interesting that Japan would honor such a symbol of their failed militaristic state.Yamato and her 2 sisters only brought young Japanese to their watery graves,destroyed at so little cost to their enemy
Yamato was such a symbol of IJN power,that her and her sister were to valuble to risk combat.When in desperation they were commited,without airpower,both proved nearly worthless, 5,000 sailors died at the cost of a dozen planes.
that is only because Japanese people still remember the war due to their custom of pride and honor. But Japanese people have to come to accept their shame because they started shit with people and they lost. Yet they still value it so much.
Not so much the Japanese people as the Japanese Military/Government that started the war. The Japanese people should be ashamed of nothing. The Military/Government leaders of the day should be ashamed...Ashamed that their actions caused the lives of so many men,women and children. Soldiers, sailors were thought of as issin gorin by their superiors. Or so I have read.
Not the people? Well some Japanese citizens think its a shame their nations has turned into a warmonger in WW2 and those feelings are still there today. But like i said in my post, Japanese govt will never apologize for it despite the massive criticism and history of their actions, Jap govt still glorify it.
I think the losses of the two yamato classes without them having any major effect on naval combat marked the end of the battleship and the beginning on the carrier-destroyer era.
Whoa! cool! Wish I could go to that museum. If only she and her sister, Musashi were laid down as super-carriers (like the Shinano) with redesigned better propulsion, they would have been of better use to the IJN.
aler ehren japan!,das schönste schlachtschiff und damals beste.irgendwie hat sich die leistung der japaner vererbt,z,b autos hybridtechnik ist japan ganz vorne:das fleissigste volk.
Does anyone know how much the Mushashi and Yamato cost to build? In US Dollars. It would be interesting to know the relative cost of the Iowa class, Bismarck, and Prince of Wales Class alternatives at the time.
PS Ref the above, I am glad the Japs did not sink the RENOWN as my Dad was on it & thus I would not be here now. But it was 50/50 as half his intake of boy sailors from the Isle of Man training depot were sent to the Renown and half to her sister ship Repulse, which was then sent East!
No, 1rwant*&^..just trying to keep you honest, which is a fulltime job..you make it sound like the UK won the war all my itself..if you would have read most of my posting, i gave credit where credit was do..UK..did some great things, Navy, cracked german naval code, Funnies used on D-day..but you just hate or can't say thanks to USA..yeah that was a Bristish lanchaster bomber that droped the A-bomb..just looked like a B-29
I'm starting to get worried about you Hitide286, are you staliking me? I suppose the Americans paid for and built the Yamato oh and don't forget the Musashi
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This ship looks a lot better now she's at the bottom of the sea with big holes in her.
I wonder if the jap navy had such a proud past like her land forces (pow camps and such) Still at least they dont wage war no more only on whales who they nearly sent into extiction.
The yamato was left a few miles astray and targeted by virtually everything. Almost same way like the Bismark, well, worse, the Bismark got too lonely out there :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Imagine the ships Britain could have built if she had broken all the treatys that determined the size of guns,tonnage and such.yes the jap ships were big but thats becouse they broke rules and we stood by them.
what did any of the jap ships do other than sink EXACLY nothing.
You should read some history of the Pacific war. The IJN was at first built by the British, designed and trained by the RN, & like the RN, had the most professional, well-trained sailors & eventually far more accurate than us by ww2 till we matched them with our radar advantage. The Brits did work on a super-giant ice-berg carrier in Canada, that would have housed hundreds of even land-based bombers to operate from Canada to Scotland. It would have been largest 'vessel' ever. See Habakkuk.
actually the us only lost 2 battleships through the corse of the war nd that was at pearl harborand they only lost a few carriers during the war also soyour wrong when you say the u8s lost alot of ships to the japanese navy
Yeah and the cruisers, destroyers, submarines etc etc. Sure it was nothing compared to how many the Japanese lost but don't sit there and pretend the US came out without a scratch. They lost many ships as well.
you know it takes a real low life scum bag like you to curse out a 14 year old kid that you dont even know, I probably knows way more than you ever will know about ww2 im not trying to pretend that the us came out with out a scratch I had a relative die fighting the japanese in leyte gulf so BACK OFF!
plus im sure my grammer is way more Sophisticated than yours will ever be
I've read enough books and spoken to enough survivors to know what I'm talking about.
And bringing up your relative to make yourself look good is rather insulting when you consider the guts of the men who were at Leyte. I had a relative at D-Day. I don't use him to make myself look good.
And if your grammar is more sophisticated, why is it you don't use capital letters?
I had someone translate a program on this museum. Even the museum & Japanese 'experts' still alive know so little about this ship. The program admitted no-one had a complete set of the original plans let alone all the refits as they realised structural and design errors and improvements made. That the Musashi took about 20 bomb and 20 torpedo hits and still wouldn't sink for 4 more hours even counter-flooding to the point it was still steaming with water over her deck. Unbelievable like Bismark.
Beautiful ship, I don't know but these ships from 1930s was mostt beautiful, today looks awfull.

a slight idea about real technical data of Yamato class battleships (including main guns caliber).
So Iowa class were created based mainly at guessing how Yamato could be constructed.
Yamato main gun barbets were so created that there was possibility to change 460 mm guns to 510 mm guns and for SYamato were planned 610 guns.
I think any side of debate "who will win in such duel" can't say whit 100% accuracy about outcome of such.

Does anyone know how much the Mushashi and Yamato cost to build? In US Dollars. It would be interesting to know the relative cost of the Iowa class, Bismarck, and Prince of Wales Class alternatives at the time.
PS Ref the above, I am glad the Japs did not sink the RENOWN as my Dad was on it & thus I would not be here now. But it was 50/50 as half his intake of boy sailors from the Isle of Man training depot were sent to the Renown and half to her sister ship Repulse, which was then sent East!

This ship looks a lot better now she's at the bottom of the sea with big holes in her.
I wonder if the jap navy had such a proud past like her land forces (pow camps and such) Still at least they dont wage war no more only on whales who they nearly sent into extiction.

so why so easy to sink mushashi and yamamoto?
POLMAZURKA 3 years ago
It wasn't easy at all. These things took many bombs and torpedos to sink.

Easy to sink?Yamato, the biggest warship?
The Yamato was capable to resist attacks from 1000 lbs (about 453 kg) bombs. But without aerial support, she was doomed.
USA's Task Force 58: approx. 400 aircrafts were sent to sink the Yamato fleet.

The yamato was left a few miles astray and targeted by virtually everything. Almost same way like the Bismark, well, worse, the Bismark got too lonely out there :)

Still an amazing ship though, I mean what did the Titanic do except crash into an iceberg and sink? The thing is these ships had a soul.

Imagine the ships Britain could have built if she had broken all the treatys that determined the size of guns,tonnage and such.yes the jap ships were big but thats becouse they broke rules and we stood by them.
what did any of the jap ships do other than sink EXACLY nothing.
REDRONAN65 4 years ago
You should read some history of the Pacific war. The IJN was at first built by the British, designed and trained by the RN, & like the RN, had the most professional, well-trained sailors & eventually far more accurate than us by ww2 till we matched them with our radar advantage. The Brits did work on a super-giant ice-berg carrier in Canada, that would have housed hundreds of even land-based bombers to operate from Canada to Scotland. It would have been largest 'vessel' ever. See Habakkuk.

Nothing?
Do you know how many ships the Allies lost to the Japanese Navy?
Half the battleships of the IJN were influenced by British designs. Kongo was bult in England FFS!
Why do idiots like you come on and make sweeping statements about the war like that? Sink nothing my ass.
theredraven 3 years ago
actually the us only lost 2 battleships through the corse of the war nd that was at pearl harborand they only lost a few carriers during the war also soyour wrong when you say the u8s lost alot of ships to the japanese navy
pickett101films 3 years ago
Yeah and the cruisers, destroyers, submarines etc etc. Sure it was nothing compared to how many the Japanese lost but don't sit there and pretend the US came out without a scratch. They lost many ships as well.
And learn to fucking spell properly.

you know it takes a real low life scum bag like you to curse out a 14 year old kid that you dont even know, I probably knows way more than you ever will know about ww2 im not trying to pretend that the us came out with out a scratch I had a relative die fighting the japanese in leyte gulf so BACK OFF!
plus im sure my grammer is way more Sophisticated than yours will ever be
pickett101films 3 years ago
I've read enough books and spoken to enough survivors to know what I'm talking about.
And bringing up your relative to make yourself look good is rather insulting when you consider the guts of the men who were at Leyte. I had a relative at D-Day. I don't use him to make myself look good.
And if your grammar is more sophisticated, why is it you don't use capital letters?
Lol. I win.

I had someone translate a program on this museum. Even the museum & Japanese 'experts' still alive know so little about this ship. The program admitted no-one had a complete set of the original plans let alone all the refits as they realised structural and design errors and improvements made. That the Musashi took about 20 bomb and 20 torpedo hits and still wouldn't sink for 4 more hours even counter-flooding to the point it was still steaming with water over her deck. Unbelievable like Bismark.
