The entire crew knew that it was a one way trip

[hurch]

They learned from sinking the Musashi that they wanted to hit only one side of the ship with torpedoes instead of hitting both sides. In this way, it would reduce the ability to mitigate listing by counter-flooding. Ultimately, it led to the Yamato capsizing.

Two things:
1. More planes were involved in the sinking of the Yamato than the Pearl Harbor attack (and remember, they were sent to sink one ship)
2. The explosion was so monstrous it knocked out a few planes from the sky. And to add insult to injury, that explosion brought down more planes than the Yamato did during the entire battle up until that point.

Both Yamato and Musashi were very tough ships. They were sunk yes, but it took a lot to do it.

People tend to forget that there were other ships that were targets too. One was the command ship which was sunk. The japanese used their ships way diferent than allied ships. As to the day of the Yamato sinking, sevetal other warships wete sunk.

Yamato was a great ship. Although it had to be destroyed, you have to admit, it was a sad undertaking.
We learned about it in 8th grade. A classmate brought a model of it to school we helped him put it together. She had a lot of guns. She was a beautiful ship. Especially after we painted it.
We also learned about the Missouri, the Nevada and all the ships that were sunk at Pearl Harbor.
That was the best week ever, at school, in 8th grade, for us boys. Ill never forget it.
Since then I aquired the documentaries The World at War and Victory at Sea.

The battleships Musashi and the haruna suffered the same fate

When a steam ship capsizes, water goes down the funnel. Cold water meeting the furnace brick lining at 2000°c creates the ship splitting explosion you see in many war news clips.

My father served on the USS Heermann during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. His ship made a torpedo run on the Yamato all the while dodging shells. My father said the Yamato was a big ship but the guns looked really big when they are pointing and firing at you. The Yamato wasn’t hit, but because of the torpedos it had to take evasive measures which took it out of the fight for a while. His ship took some hits but didn’t sink. He lost some shipmates. Dad had major PTSD. He served during WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam. My brother and I served in Vietnam. My son served in Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Naval aviator Lt.(jg) Francis Ferry, flying a Helldiver, dropped the first bomb that hit and incapacitated the Yamato. For his actions that day he received the Navy Cross. After the war he became a teacher, and was the Dean of Boys at my high school. I saw a TV news clip a few years ago about him celebrating his 100th birthday in 2020.

The most beautiful sword ever brought to a gun fight.

The Yamato was disabled by bombs down the smokestack. Then she stopped without steam generators. As the interior fires could not be controled without pumps, the fires spread to the magazines. She blew up from about 20, 000 tons of explosive.

do some more random ops that simulate battles like this, would be cool!
Gigantic potential.

One of my great uncles was killed at Pearl Harbor, as he was trying to swim to safety from the ship he’d been on being destroyed & was sinking. My other great uncle, his brother, was wounded but served out the rest of the war in the Pacific Theatre.

[roberthunerberg]

I got to meet a person who was in on sinking of the Yamato. It was at a Pearl Harbor remembrance The Navy League at Aurora Illinois. He was from Lanark Illinois.

[johnherlan]

My father fought in that battle, these are the real heros, not the Kardashians.

Who remembers the cartoon version of Yamato flying around in outer space ??

[domday]

Both the sinking of Bismarck and Yamato highlight the power of aircraft carriers. Those aviators were like a pack of wolves out for the blood of a buffalo.

Japan brought her out on one final kamakaze run. May her sailors RIP at the bottom of the Pacific.
