ANATOMY OF THE SHIP: THE BATTLESHIP YAMATO

The battleship "Yamato" was a tremendous achievement for the Imperial Japanese Navy. With the greatest displacement, biggest guns and heaviest armour of all time, "Yamato" and her sister "Musashi" were the ultimate battleships. Everything about them was gigantic, and they proved dangerous opponents to the United States Pacific Fleet. In this new edition, complete with a scale fold-out plan on the reverse of an extended jacket, there is a full description of the ship and her weapons, including wartime modifications and career history, along with a pictorial section with rare on-board views.
