Yamato class (
IJN Yamato)
With a main armament consisting of nine 18.1/45
guns, the heaviest displacement of any
battleship ever built, the Yamato is the
monster of the battleship world. More armor,
heavier weapons, and superior optics made this
battleship something nobody else wanted to get
close to. In the end, torpedos and bombers
proved its end as aircraft carriers supplanted
battleships as the kings of the sea. Few
warships of today outmass it, and none have
ever carried bigger guns or heavier armor. The
Yamato was overawing beyond any doubt.
The third planned
Yamato class battleship
was actually completed as an aircraft carrier.
