True, the USN aircraft attacked it from both sides having the unintentional effect of counterflooding the ship so she settled slowly level in the ocean. When they attacked Yamato they made sure to attack from one side only causing the ship to sink more quickly from capsizing. In a purely historical sense its a shame one of these vessels didn't survive WW2 as they were the largest battleships ever built eclipsing the US Iowa class by about 20,000 tonnes.
@paquitos hammer That was true before the war but the escalator clause built in to the London treaty of 1930 allowed for the Americans (and the British) to re arm and redesign their battleships with the previously outlawed 16" guns in response to German and Japanese plans. Despite the tonnage limit being 35,000 the Bismark, the Iowa and the Yamato all exceeded that restriction though admittedly the Yamato was the largest at some 70,000 tonnes.
@-RINZLER- that's because a lot of carriers were present at the battle and the USN weren't taking any risks. A single fleet carrier like the Enterprise would have been able to sink the Yamato.

My love for the Yamato CLASS comes from the game Star Trek: Klingon Academy, in which it is one of the ships you can mess around with in Skirmish mode (you can play as pretty much ANY ship in the game in that mode, including multiple factions that don't actually appear during the campaign, and multiple starfleet classes that don't appear during it). Honestly, it is one of the best Star Trek games ever, to be frank. It had a remarkably diverse set of crew commands, system management, and outright general ability to do weird things (like being able to fly through part of a gas giant if you went slowly enough and were constantly micromanaging your shields and damage control systems). The skirmish/free play mode allowing you to just warp wherever the hell you wanted was cool too (in system or out, and yes, you COULD just destroy yourself if you wanted by warping into a planet at warp speed 1-ish or whatever the lowest warp was, because that was the speed you warped around systems at, and only went higher when on the travel map). The game itself had remarkably good vessel damage and destruction mechanics for its time too. I mean, this is a game released in the year 2000, so bear that in mind. Oh, and of course, you may guess from the name, but for the campaign, you play as a KLINGON starship commander. Naturally, progressively getting promoted to captain larger and larger ships throughout. ...But yeah, the Yamato in that game had two of the super-phaser weapons that were present in its time. The absolute strongest Klingon ship in the game had one. And it also looked cool. So yeah. I kinda like the Yamato class. Oh, and of course, it was NOT a constitution class. It was the strongest class of federation ship in the game. And yes, the Yamato I like is the one that is mentioned as the "sitting duck after firing" one, despite it not actually doing this in Klingon Academy (those super phasers did have a nice cooldown though).
whenever i played sfc2 i always fought hard and saved up to get my hands on the yamato-class battleship. the thin was nuts in game and a beat against small ships. the sight of launching 12 missiles at a target to weaken it sheilds only then to be pelted to death by phasers was a beautiful sight.
No, the Yamato in KA was the best.. SFC and SFC2 stunk.. I hated the 2d maneuvering.. turn based wasn't terrible. but 2d space sucked.. now i got pretty much 2d maneuvering in STO blah!
Love this ship in Starfleet Command. Looks amazing and was a true beast. A shame it had the Gatling phasers instead of the star base phasers in that one.
IJN Yamato had "the biggest warship cannons of the time" ??? Those 18.1-inch cannons are TO THIS DAY the largest guns ever mounted on a ship. Even the mighty American Iowa-class battleships (of the same time-period) only had 16-inch main guns.
Yamato sounds just fitting for a warbird ;) Also, that dual excelsior design looks cool on blueprint, but it would create a huge target if ever presented in battle.
I have to agree with you. It makes sense that the USS Yamato would be the really big beatstick Starfleet brings out when diplomacy fails and war is inevitable. I mean, if you're forced to fight, you might as well get it over with as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Therefore, it's the one ship that had a note attached to it's files saying "Under absolutely NO circumstances is Sisko to know of this ships existence."
@@233Deadman Considering the circumstances and this vessel's capabilities, I wonder if that would have actually been a good idea or not. Some refit Yamatos could have made a joke out of the Jem'Hadar ships during the Dominion War.
not a Trek fan but played Klingon Academy and liked the way the Yamato looked. i used to get all the Micro Machine SpaceShips Star Wars ,Babylon5, Star Trek, Aliens , Terminator, even the Generic Space Galaxy ones and made the Yamato from from pulling apart quite a Micro Machine Few Toys.
Seen that prototype ship made me wish that you would do an entire episode on Starfleet prototypes. You could also explain this out to Klingon and romulan and even other species prototype ships. I love the videos keep it up!
The USS Yamato Battleship from Klingon Academy: Armed with two massive Assault phasers, each capable of cracking the shields of a Starbase or Battlestation, this is the most heavily armed, and powered, Federation ship ever constructed. During initial testing of the assault phasers, it was recommended that the Yamato class receive a second warp core to power the assault phasers only. This recommendation was put into effect and, as of June 2391, the Yamato class Experimental battleships have two warp cores. The Yamato class is also one of the more interesting designs present in the Federation fleet. She has a titanic saucer and two (comparatively) diminutive secondary hulls which are attached to the underside of the saucer. Suspended between these two secondary hulls is the assault phaser mount. One of the breakthroughs concerning this assault phaser design is that it is connected to both warp cores, allowing the single phaser to act like two and fire a second time using the second core's power output. The assault phaser is cooled by exposing some of the critical parts to the vacuum of space. Thus, while allowing for extremely fast cooling of the phaser after firing, the assault phaser is easily damaged once her shields have been breached. But, with shields comparable to small bases, most captains have nothing really to worry about. This design does have its share of failings though. The few captains lucky enough to command these ships have complained how, during simulations, marauding Klingon ships have easily dodged the main fore weapons arrays and concentrated their fire on the port and starboard arcs, rarely straying into the aft arc, and never passing in front of this formidable behemoth’s main weapons systems, thus making her assault phaser nearly useless against smaller ships. Larger ships, however, should be warned not to stray into this formidable battleship's forward arc because of that very phaser. While it is very inaccurate, it still can hit a target of cruiser size or above if it has a good shot. To remedy this problem, Starfleet's design bureau has petitioned for a QCB projector to be added to her standard weaponry. Unfortunately, this petition has not met with results and is still being considered.
Yeah, I did think it looked familiar. The F-BB was a ridiculous piece of engineering that was simply too expensive (in part due to having two secondary hulls), but I suppose they did need something to prowl along the Federation side of the Klingon Neutral Zone and look mean. Fun fact - if you have lots of spare power, ramp it straight up to 31 from 0 and watch it out-accelerate anything off the mark.
All Hail the old F-BB. I think there were 3 of them: Yamato, Kali, and Mars but the later two were never officially finished. I wish we had a high res model of this unique ship.
One of the things I dislike about Starfleet is their policy on weapons. There is no such thing as an "unnecessarily overpowered weapon". If a weapon is so powerful that it can cause overloads and sub system failures when used at its maximum setting, simply use it at a lower setting until such a time as sub systems can be buffered against overloads. It may seem contradictory, but a ship that is as heavily armed as is technologically possible possesses more diplomatic options as it is afforded a far stronger negotiation position. The peaceful intentions of a person are far more apparent when they elect the diplomatic option even though they could easily win in a fight.
@@syaondri Very true. The ideology of the Federation is often idiotically pacifistic considering the fact that they share borders with three military powers.
@@syaondri I kind of liked the number because it denoted the fact that a species that is unified by a collective consciousness that is the Apex of its universe word have no need of a name.
I am now having an AU Head-Canon of a NCX-5626-V shaped ship using Odyssey-class parts. Keeping true to both the Trek-verse and yet another Universe's use of the name, this version of the Yamato class has a sister ship named the Argo.
I think there were a few times in Starfleet, Cannon, history where there were threats to the federation great enough where Starfleet developed warships. The Borg with the Defiant class ships and the Dominion War where in a few episodes of DS9 there were glimpses of a completely different type of ship in the background during the fleet battles. It clearly wasn't a Defiant class ship, but it did look like they just took the body of a Defiant class and add a saucer section and extra stuff to the outside, as the ship was the same size with a small half saucer section and fired cannons (Star Trek did this a lot when making background ships for episodes, they just took existing ship designs and just added stuff to it to look "different"). I am actually surprised that STO didn't make a ship class out of this, but as the ship in question is difficult to see in the background of the one or two episodes I remember it being in, I don't blame them. Then there was the Prometheus, which was another warship created to fight in the Dominion war. In STO there was also several classes of ship specifically created to fight different enemies, like The Borg, The Hurq, The Iconians, The Elachi, The Tzencethi etc., but I know they just did this to add ships to the Zen store, Their lockboxes and the Lobi store. So in my own "Head cannon" Starfleet only builds warships to defend itself in times of peril, the rest of the time they build science and exploration ships.
There must've been a mistake in the Yamato's registry number because they say it is NCC-71807 but in one episode Riker said the ship's registry NCC-71807-E and it was that episode where they encountered an alien that started conducting experiments on the crew to see different ways humans die.
The Yamato (NCX 5626) was always one of my favorite designs. I played that ship in a starfleet PC game and loved the pure warship aspect of this vessel. I always wanted to see it on the big screen. But to be honest the Terran Empire would've built it outright. Starfleet was to pasifistic to ever build this. Even if it was needed for gunboat diplomacy when dealing with the klingons and romulans.
The background on the Yamato you forgot the cartoon series that ran in the 80s and 90s you also forgot the movie that they made in Japan about the motto star battleship it went out and fought Alien Invaders granted this Yamato movie and TV show both utilize raising the original battleship Yamato to fight the aliens and transform and a World War II battleship into a space platform with the wave motion gun which is kind of what Star Trek did here
I'm always very wary of watching videos like this since most of them contradict each other in some form and a lot of the people making them like to take the subject matter too seriously. Although as a trekkie I'm always drawn to them just out of curiosity. This video just popped up this morning as a suggestion. I like the fact that in your video you point out what is cannon, what is not and where the discrepancies exist... even going as far to say that something is "head-canon" to you. Well done! I'm interested in seeing more.
Tadeo "Rekkert" D'Oria on Artstation has done some amazingly realistic renders of the Yamato's bridge, what it might've looked like with the green detailing. He's also made bridges for other Galaxy-class ships, including the Odyssey. 🖖😎👍
Something about classified testbed roles, I guess. NCC is sometimes theorised as Naval Construction Code. NX is Naval Experimental. NCX could be a placeholder.
USS Yamato (NCC 71807) is an Enterprise-D (NCC 1701-D) Class. At least 3 times Capt. Picard stated that the Enterprise-D was the first of its type.The USS Iowa (BB 61) is an Iowa Class Battleship.

@Wes Prang Of the original series that came out in the late 70's early 80's. Season 1 was Quest for Iscandar Season 2 was Comet Empire Season 3 was The Bolar Wars They're on kissanime. no idea if they plan do a season 3 Yamato 2205.
Season three. Totally not space Russian my freind says. But the plot is much different with a different for. Apparently ppl didn't like it even though it was epic
People didn’t like it as much because either. 1: People are weird and Season 1 also had its planned episode count reduced because of low ratings. 2: The change of the English voice cast / dumbing down of dialog. But, there appears to be quite a few season 3 references in 2199 and 2202.... So hopefully we haven’t seen the last of “The Bolar Wars.”
Yes the dreadnought version of the Yamato was build for the war with the borg. In next generation. Enterprise D sister ship was destroyed, but then they built dreadnought version. Came into action when the borg attacked earth. When captain Packard got captured. They where going to put the same spiral lance on the enterprise, but decided they wouldn't have enough time. So they modified the main deflector to do the damage the spiral Lance would do. But it came at a major cost to the enterprise. They originally where going to upgrade the D to the E with a 3rd nacelle and do the same improvements to enterprise.
It was a simple continuity error. The writers for "Contagion" were unaware that the Yamato's registry number had already been mentioned in the dialogue of a previous episode ("Where Silence Has Lease"), but no one caught the error before the episode was aired. The best in-universe explanation that I've heard was that the Yamato's registry was changed by Starfleet for some logistical reason. 🖖😎👍
Fun Fact: In Star Trek Online, the developers pay homage to Space Battleship Yamato by first: having Starfleets strongest Battleship/Dreadnought be a Yamato... Second: having the Spinal Lance animation shot have a similar charge to the Wave-Motion gun... And Third and this is the OG one... The USS Yamato... has a registry number of NCC-92199... The same year from the show.
The Walking Forest and Wesley crusher will be aboard after a tragic accident where his larynx was permanently damaged in a subspace bubble rendering him Unable To Speak...
That Galaxy “refit” you have two images of look like two separate variations of the Galaxy-X or Galaxy X class as seen in the final two parter of Star Trek TNG, used as Admiral Riker’s ship bearing a third warp nacel that now blocked the shuttle bay and had a phaser “lance” that ran down the middle of the bottom side of the saucer section starting near the main deflector (always wondered if this upgrade rendered the separation function a now impossible feat)
The huge four engine design looks like the same ship design in Star Fleet Command: Orion Pirates. Originally, the game creators called this design "conjectural". Later they added the design and upgraded it to an almost Juggernaut status called the Battle Control Ship (I.E. super battle ship and super carrier combo).
@@talis84, as an old salt, I'm also really happy, and quite surprised actually, that I'm seeing so many references to Star Blazers and Space Battleship Yamato! :)
One thing I hated about the episode that the Yamato was lost, is you have shown the Galaxy glass can saucer separate. WHY NOT DO THIS NOW, ok maybe Yamato didn't know it was this bad, but Enterprise KNEW it- at least add dialog that they tried, and found that computer wasn't working, and even escape pods are not responding. - that would have helped me out a bit lol
I always thought the Galaxy X variant was named for the other Yamato. Big ass main gun, exploratory vessel, carries a large crew for long voyages... Sounds like a Space Battleship to me.
Galaxy X ships are still converted exploration vessel hulls changed to battleships. So they would have more significant flaws although I would imagine this improves overtime. The yamato design herself is a warship pure and simple and likely was better suited for combat operations. Problem with Yamato is she isnt very well liked by most star trek purist due to being a dedicated warship and not a variant. Despite the fact that most ships in starfleet are technically all warships It would be awesome if sto managed to dust off and use the original Yamato design from Klingon academy. It's that one ship that everyone outside of federation space knew it existed but kept quiet due to the federation being all hush hush on ships that actually made klingons envious
In Star Trek: Klingon Academy it was a ridiculous ship to go up against online. They'd just lob those crazy assault phaser shots at you from huge distances away. If you couldn't cloak you were toast. I miss that game

Wow, this video's thumbnail had me thrown off big time. I see "USS Yamato," and see the thumbnail displays the non canon 23rd century Battleship Yamato.

I recently made an exhaustive list of all known registries from FASA, Jackill and the 90s video games. Plus several more. Naturally, the many contradictory numbers and names of Constitution class ships was a hair tearer...
Look up Space Battleship Yamato Wave Motion Gun. The anime came out in 1974, so this Starfleet ship is paying homage, and is using a similar giant beam.
@@mr6johnclark just because they put it back together doesn't mean it didn't suffer a poor fate. Most ships named Enterprise in Starfleet get destroyed in a dramatic manner. It seems only the Enterprise F survived to decomissioning and just barely....
The Yamato would be Federation's answer towards potential hostile species if diplomacy and peace fails She has a big main phaser with the ability to overload it, creating some sort of EMP burst . Also, a nice hotel for starfleet warfreak admirals
Do you think the Yamato in star trek is a reference to the BBY-01 Yamato from Space Battleship Yamato. As Star Trek is seen as the western equivalent to 宇宙戦艦ヤマト. And vise versa.
@@no1reallycaresabout2 unfortunate but can't be helped. Although Space Battleship Yamato 2202 may have a star trek reference however, it isnt fully confirmed but in the first episode there are two ships possibly named after stuff in Star Trek, one named Kirk and the other Defiant. Both are notable names in star trek so it may be an easter egg.
@Yamato3601 So I wasn’t the only one that noticed Kirk and Defiant? Lol. It’s all possible that the Ginga was also inspired by Star Trek but that’s more of a stretch. Gatlantis’s doomsday machine clone on the other hand...
NCC-1305-E; I think they decided that they wanted to make it so that "Enterprise" was the only name that had ever been given the honour of retaining the same registry across various ships in order to drive home the "prestige" factor.
@@CtrlOptDel because one guy didn't like it. Note even though fake Dauntless had a registry of NX 01 A. If Enterprise was the only ship with a letter in registry that would have been a red flag.
The Yamato also has the wave motion gun instead of a deflector dish.

My love for the Yamato CLASS comes from the game Star Trek: Klingon Academy, in which it is one of the ships you can mess around with in Skirmish mode (you can play as pretty much ANY ship in the game in that mode, including multiple factions that don't actually appear during the campaign, and multiple starfleet classes that don't appear during it). Honestly, it is one of the best Star Trek games ever, to be frank. It had a remarkably diverse set of crew commands, system management, and outright general ability to do weird things (like being able to fly through part of a gas giant if you went slowly enough and were constantly micromanaging your shields and damage control systems). The skirmish/free play mode allowing you to just warp wherever the hell you wanted was cool too (in system or out, and yes, you COULD just destroy yourself if you wanted by warping into a planet at warp speed 1-ish or whatever the lowest warp was, because that was the speed you warped around systems at, and only went higher when on the travel map). The game itself had remarkably good vessel damage and destruction mechanics for its time too. I mean, this is a game released in the year 2000, so bear that in mind.
Oh, and of course, you may guess from the name, but for the campaign, you play as a KLINGON starship commander. Naturally, progressively getting promoted to captain larger and larger ships throughout.
...But yeah, the Yamato in that game had two of the super-phaser weapons that were present in its time. The absolute strongest Klingon ship in the game had one. And it also looked cool. So yeah. I kinda like the Yamato class. Oh, and of course, it was NOT a constitution class. It was the strongest class of federation ship in the game. And yes, the Yamato I like is the one that is mentioned as the "sitting duck after firing" one, despite it not actually doing this in Klingon Academy (those super phasers did have a nice cooldown though).
That was an interesting game .
Q'uapla fellow klingon warrior !
The Battleship Yamato Fasa , Starfleet battles and STARFLEET command 1 2 and Orion pirates games give credit where credit due!
These games are freaking amazing, i was quite sad the races in it seem to be unique to those games
whenever i played sfc2 i always fought hard and saved up to get my hands on the yamato-class battleship. the thin was nuts in game and a beat against small ships. the sight of launching 12 missiles at a target to weaken it sheilds only then to be pelted to death by phasers was a beautiful sight.
No, the Yamato in KA was the best.. SFC and SFC2 stunk.. I hated the 2d maneuvering.. turn based wasn't terrible. but 2d space sucked.. now i got pretty much 2d maneuvering in STO blah!
Love this ship in Starfleet Command. Looks amazing and was a true beast. A shame it had the Gatling phasers instead of the star base phasers in that one.
IJN Yamato had "the biggest warship cannons of the time" ???
Those 18.1-inch cannons are TO THIS DAY the largest guns ever mounted on a ship.
Even the mighty American Iowa-class battleships (of the same time-period) only had 16-inch main guns.
Yamato sounds just fitting for a warbird ;)
Also, that dual excelsior design looks cool on blueprint, but it would create a huge target if ever presented in battle.
It does but with the right power settings it'll tank everything. You can use it in Klingon Academy
I have to agree with you. It makes sense that the USS Yamato would be the really big beatstick Starfleet brings out when diplomacy fails and war is inevitable. I mean, if you're forced to fight, you might as well get it over with as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Therefore, it's the one ship that had a note attached to it's files saying "Under absolutely NO circumstances is Sisko to know of this ships existence."
@@233Deadman
Considering the circumstances and this vessel's capabilities, I wonder if that would have actually been a good idea or not. Some refit Yamatos could have made a joke out of the Jem'Hadar ships during the Dominion War.
not a Trek fan but played Klingon Academy and liked the way the Yamato looked.
i used to get all the Micro Machine SpaceShips Star Wars ,Babylon5, Star Trek, Aliens , Terminator, even the Generic Space Galaxy ones and made the Yamato from from pulling apart quite a Micro Machine Few Toys.
Ah, custom. I ordered a custom USS New orleans off Ebay like that...
Seen that prototype ship made me wish that you would do an entire episode on Starfleet prototypes. You could also explain this out to Klingon and romulan and even other species prototype ships. I love the videos keep it up!
I need to see more of the prototype Yamato!
Looks like the federation dreadnought on star trek: fleet command. It was a PC game based on the FASA board game.
It is. Also in Klingon Academy game.
The USS Yamato Battleship from Klingon Academy:
Armed with two massive Assault phasers, each capable of cracking the shields of a Starbase or Battlestation, this is the most heavily armed, and powered, Federation ship ever constructed. During initial testing of the assault phasers, it was recommended that the Yamato class receive a second warp core to power the assault phasers only. This recommendation was put into effect and, as of June 2391, the Yamato class Experimental battleships have two warp cores. The Yamato class is also one of the more interesting designs present in the Federation fleet. She has a titanic saucer and two (comparatively) diminutive secondary hulls which are attached to the underside of the saucer. Suspended between these two secondary hulls is the assault phaser mount. One of the breakthroughs concerning this assault phaser design is that it is connected to both warp cores, allowing the single phaser to act like two and fire a second time using the second core's power output. The assault phaser is cooled by exposing some of the critical parts to the vacuum of space. Thus, while allowing for extremely fast cooling of the phaser after firing, the assault phaser is easily damaged once her shields have been breached. But, with shields comparable to small bases, most captains have nothing really to worry about. This design does have its share of failings though. The few captains lucky enough to command these ships have complained how, during simulations, marauding Klingon ships have easily dodged the main fore weapons arrays and concentrated their fire on the port and starboard arcs, rarely straying into the aft arc, and never passing in front of this formidable behemoth’s main weapons systems, thus making her assault phaser nearly useless against smaller ships. Larger ships, however, should be warned not to stray into this formidable battleship's forward arc because of that very phaser. While it is very inaccurate, it still can hit a target of cruiser size or above if it has a good shot. To remedy this problem, Starfleet's design bureau has petitioned for a QCB projector to be added to her standard weaponry. Unfortunately, this petition has not met with results and is still being considered.
You forgot to mention the Space Battleship Yamato, launched in the year 2199...
sir, this is Star Trek.
@@ethangavrilmoreno8479 UCHUU SENKAN YAAAAAAMAAAAAATOOOOOOOOO!!!!
The USS Yamato NCX5626V was a dreadnought class ship in the game Starfleet Command put out by 14°East and Taldren I miss that game😂
Yeah, I did think it looked familiar. The F-BB was a ridiculous piece of engineering that was simply too expensive (in part due to having two secondary hulls), but I suppose they did need something to prowl along the Federation side of the Klingon Neutral Zone and look mean. Fun fact - if you have lots of spare power, ramp it straight up to 31 from 0 and watch it out-accelerate anything off the mark.
Excellent game, to bad a show was never made in the general war
All Hail the old F-BB. I think there were 3 of them: Yamato, Kali, and Mars but the later two were never officially finished. I wish we had a high res model of this unique ship.
Can this game still be played on modern OS❓
@@PolarasDominion In Starfleet Command, I only saw three, but they were the Kali, Mars and Ares. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter the Yamato...
One of the things I dislike about Starfleet is their policy on weapons. There is no such thing as an "unnecessarily overpowered weapon". If a weapon is so powerful that it can cause overloads and sub system failures when used at its maximum setting, simply use it at a lower setting until such a time as sub systems can be buffered against overloads. It may seem contradictory, but a ship that is as heavily armed as is technologically possible possesses more diplomatic options as it is afforded a far stronger negotiation position. The peaceful intentions of a person are far more apparent when they elect the diplomatic option even though they could easily win in a fight.
@@syaondri Very true. The ideology of the Federation is often idiotically pacifistic considering the fact that they share borders with three military powers.
@@syaondri True. There's also 8472.
@@syaondri Yep. I did however think that it was kind of odd to names such an extremely dangerous species after a mythical race of nymphs. LOL

No wave motion gun?
I am now having an AU Head-Canon of a NCX-5626-V shaped ship using Odyssey-class parts. Keeping true to both the Trek-verse and yet another Universe's use of the name, this version of the Yamato class has a sister ship named the Argo.
It almost exists in the fan made USS Thurgy. 4 Nacelled Odyssey Class.
The Yamato is my favourite Galaxy class starship. There's not reason for this, she just is.
I think there were a few times in Starfleet, Cannon, history where there were threats to the federation great enough where Starfleet developed warships. The Borg with the Defiant class ships and the Dominion War where in a few episodes of DS9 there were glimpses of a completely different type of ship in the background during the fleet battles. It clearly wasn't a Defiant class ship, but it did look like they just took the body of a Defiant class and add a saucer section and extra stuff to the outside, as the ship was the same size with a small half saucer section and fired cannons (Star Trek did this a lot when making background ships for episodes, they just took existing ship designs and just added stuff to it to look "different"). I am actually surprised that STO didn't make a ship class out of this, but as the ship in question is difficult to see in the background of the one or two episodes I remember it being in, I don't blame them. Then there was the Prometheus, which was another warship created to fight in the Dominion war.
In STO there was also several classes of ship specifically created to fight different enemies, like The Borg, The Hurq, The Iconians, The Elachi, The Tzencethi etc., but I know they just did this to add ships to the Zen store, Their lockboxes and the Lobi store. So in my own "Head cannon" Starfleet only builds warships to defend itself in times of peril, the rest of the time they build science and exploration ships.
There must've been a mistake in the Yamato's registry number because they say it is NCC-71807 but in one episode Riker said the ship's registry NCC-71807-E and it was that episode where they encountered an alien that started conducting experiments on the crew to see different ways humans die.
I've always loved the Yamato class Battleship (NCX-5626-V)! I'm glad she got a mention.
And much of the SFC and Klingon Academy game ships too, IMO.
I always loved this ship in SFC too! It was a brilliant ship to command. Kick ass in a fight too.
The Yamato (NCX 5626) was always one of my favorite designs.
I played that ship in a starfleet PC game and loved the pure warship aspect of this vessel. I always wanted to see it on the big screen. But to be honest the Terran Empire would've built it outright.
Starfleet was to pasifistic to ever build this. Even if it was needed for gunboat diplomacy when dealing with the klingons and romulans.
klingon academy was an awesome game for its time.
Loved the Devil My Cry reference! The rest of the video was great too.
The background on the Yamato you forgot the cartoon series that ran in the 80s and 90s you also forgot the movie that they made in Japan about the motto star battleship it went out and fought Alien Invaders granted this Yamato movie and TV show both utilize raising the original battleship Yamato to fight the aliens and transform and a World War II battleship into a space platform with the wave motion gun which is kind of what Star Trek did here
Hotel Yamato being resurrected as a Galaxy class starship. Makes sense to me.
I would like to see the history of the USS Saratoga if you haven't done that one yet.
Minor nitpick: The first pic you used for the Yamato Class in STO wasn't a Yamato. It was the Monarch Class dreadnought cruiser refit.
I'm always very wary of watching videos like this since most of them contradict each other in some form and a lot of the people making them like to take the subject matter too seriously. Although as a trekkie I'm always drawn to them just out of curiosity. This video just popped up this morning as a suggestion. I like the fact that in your video you point out what is cannon, what is not and where the discrepancies exist... even going as far to say that something is "head-canon" to you. Well done! I'm interested in seeing more.
Tadeo "Rekkert" D'Oria on Artstation has done some amazingly realistic renders of the Yamato's bridge, what it might've looked like with the green detailing. He's also made bridges for other Galaxy-class ships, including the Odyssey. 🖖😎👍
NCX-5626-V, what an odd registry number, considering that Star Trek's registry numbers are usually much simpler though not consistent.
Something about classified testbed roles, I guess.
NCC is sometimes theorised as Naval Construction Code.
NX is Naval Experimental.
NCX could be a placeholder.
USS Yamato (NCC 71807) is an Enterprise-D (NCC 1701-D) Class. At least 3 times Capt. Picard stated that the Enterprise-D was the first of its type.The USS Iowa (BB 61) is an Iowa Class Battleship.
"in some games"
You mean the best Star Trek game ever made: Klingon Academy
I concur with this opinion... I still have it, and play it from time to time.. I posted some of the specs in this comment section
Its first appearance was Interplay's Starfleet Command (1). SFC2, SFA, and KA came after that.
@@jts1702a Interplay used the same assets in all the games... but Klingon Academy is still superior to these others... You have the 2nd best Star Trek villain ever, in a starring role, and you get to see how it came to be that Gorkon became Chancellor. and you get to kill Kirk and Sulu( in simulation)
The thick wireboud Klingon Academy players manual was a long time bathroom read. Along with the Armada 2 and Bridge Commander manuals🤣🤣
@@djayk9692 Well thanks for reminding me of many a childhood bathtimes... (read SFC1 and ST:New Worlds manual there)
Thanks Rick, as I enjoyed this video along with all the videos on your channel sir..
A ship so nice we blew it up twice.
Then again the Japanese did the same thing to the Arizona in season 3 of Space Battleship Yamato.
@Wes Prang Of the original series that came out in the late 70's early 80's.
Season 1 was Quest for Iscandar
Season 2 was Comet Empire
Season 3 was The Bolar Wars
They're on kissanime. no idea if they plan do a season 3 Yamato 2205.
Season three. Totally not space Russian my freind says. But the plot is much different with a different for. Apparently ppl didn't like it even though it was epic
People didn’t like it as much because either.
1: People are weird and Season 1 also had its planned episode count reduced because of low ratings.
2: The change of the English voice cast / dumbing down of dialog.
But, there appears to be quite a few season 3 references in 2199 and 2202.... So hopefully we haven’t seen the last of “The Bolar Wars.”
I have to imagine the super main cannon version is a nod to the anime space space battleship yamato and it's big main gun.
Yes the dreadnought version of the Yamato was build for the war with the borg. In next generation. Enterprise D sister ship was destroyed, but then they built dreadnought version. Came into action when the borg attacked earth. When captain Packard got captured. They where going to put the same spiral lance on the enterprise, but decided they wouldn't have enough time. So they modified the main deflector to do the damage the spiral Lance would do. But it came at a major cost to the enterprise. They originally where going to upgrade the D to the E with a 3rd nacelle and do the same improvements to enterprise.
I love the view at 6:23. Nice adaption of the Galaxy class.
According to the season 2 episode of TNG, “When Silence Has Lease”, the GALAXY class version of the Yamato had a registry of NCC - 1305 - E.
Hmmm…..that’s the same code number for accessing voicemails on my office Samsung VoIP phone - what a coincidence. 😳
It was a simple continuity error. The writers for "Contagion" were unaware that the Yamato's registry number had already been mentioned in the dialogue of a previous episode ("Where Silence Has Lease"), but no one caught the error before the episode was aired. The best in-universe explanation that I've heard was that the Yamato's registry was changed by Starfleet for some logistical reason. 🖖😎👍
Fun Fact: In Star Trek Online, the developers pay homage to Space Battleship Yamato by first: having Starfleets strongest Battleship/Dreadnought be a Yamato... Second: having the Spinal Lance animation shot have a similar charge to the Wave-Motion gun... And Third and this is the OG one... The USS Yamato... has a registry number of NCC-92199... The same year from the show.
Love these. Thanks for uploading.
Another Great video i really enjoy the videos about the legacy of Starfleet Starships
This was a great idea. Keep up the great vids!
Those Iconians, causing trouble already in 2365...
I wish they brought back the dreadnought class back into STO or any other ST games. I know it anti Federation like, but it is a amazing ship design
Where's the Wave Motion Gun?
USS Yamato is but a shadow of the true Yamato: Space Battleship Yamato.
xdfudsigsaiguasghasg no thx lol
I’m still waiting for the USS Boaty McBoatface to show up in cannon as it is actually a research vessel
The Walking Forest and Wesley crusher will be aboard after a tragic accident where his larynx was permanently damaged in a subspace bubble rendering him Unable To Speak...
In this case it would be Shippy McShipface.
Didn't they cuck out and name it after Stephen Hawking or somebody?
That Galaxy “refit” you have two images of look like two separate variations of the Galaxy-X or Galaxy X class as seen in the final two parter of Star Trek TNG, used as Admiral Riker’s ship bearing a third warp nacel that now blocked the shuttle bay and had a phaser “lance” that ran down the middle of the bottom side of the saucer section starting near the main deflector (always wondered if this upgrade rendered the separation function a now impossible feat)
The Non-Riker variation is the 'Yamato' class Gal-x ship in Startrek Online. it's more powerful than the Riker ship version in the game.
THIS is the ship I wanted to see from the Federation!!
The huge four engine design looks like the same ship design in Star Fleet Command: Orion Pirates. Originally, the game creators called this design "conjectural". Later they added the design and upgraded it to an almost Juggernaut status called the Battle Control Ship (I.E. super battle ship and super carrier combo).
We're off to outer space to space. We're leaving mother Earth to save the the human race . Our Star Blazers!
Glad I wasn't the only one to think this.

That massive gun is a reference to the TV Trope Wave Motion Gun, from on Star Blazer's Yamato. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WaveMotionGun
Informative and interesting and like always well done.
One thing I hated about the episode that the Yamato was lost, is you have shown the Galaxy glass can saucer separate. WHY NOT DO THIS NOW, ok maybe Yamato didn't know it was this bad, but Enterprise KNEW it- at least add dialog that they tried, and found that computer wasn't working, and even escape pods are not responding. - that would have helped me out a bit lol

@@phoenix55755 Yeah, Riker was serving as Hood's XO before being transferred to Enterprise if I remember correctly.
Correct. After the Potemkin and Pegasus.
I always thought the Galaxy X variant was named for the other Yamato. Big ass main gun, exploratory vessel, carries a large crew for long voyages...
Sounds like a Space Battleship to me.
Galaxy X ships are still converted exploration vessel hulls changed to battleships. So they would have more significant flaws although I would imagine this improves overtime. The yamato design herself is a warship pure and simple and likely was better suited for combat operations.
Problem with Yamato is she isnt very well liked by most star trek purist due to being a dedicated warship and not a variant.
Despite the fact that most ships in starfleet are technically all warships
It would be awesome if sto managed to dust off and use the original Yamato design from Klingon academy. It's that one ship that everyone outside of federation space knew it existed but kept quiet due to the federation being all hush hush on ships that actually made klingons envious
"I'm a Big Boomstick," would make a great name for a Culture "General Offensive Unit."
I'm glad he liked my "retrofit" of Starfoxes model of the Yamato Class Battleship (2:34) :D
In Star Trek: Klingon Academy it was a ridiculous ship to go up against online. They'd just lob those crazy assault phaser shots at you from huge distances away. If you couldn't cloak you were toast. I miss that game

Look up Space Battleship Yamato Wave Motion Gun. The anime came out in 1974, so this Starfleet ship is paying homage, and is using a similar giant beam.
I really do like the quad-nacelle version the best.

Do you think the Yamato in star trek is a reference to the BBY-01 Yamato from Space Battleship Yamato. As Star Trek is seen as the western equivalent to 宇宙戦艦ヤマト. And vise versa.
According to Memory Alpha, it wasn't intended as a reference to SBY, even though the writers are fans of anime.
@@no1reallycaresabout2 unfortunate but can't be helped. Although Space Battleship Yamato 2202 may have a star trek reference however, it isnt fully confirmed but in the first episode there are two ships possibly named after stuff in Star Trek, one named Kirk and the other Defiant. Both are notable names in star trek so it may be an easter egg.
How can this ship not pay homage? It has a yellow beam shot right out the front which looks suspiciously like the Wave Motion Cannon beam.
@Yamato3601 So I wasn’t the only one that noticed Kirk and Defiant? Lol. It’s all possible that the Ginga was also inspired by Star Trek but that’s more of a stretch. Gatlantis’s doomsday machine clone on the other hand...
Didn't the Galaxy-class Yamato originally have an NCC ????-E registry? (can't remember number) If that's true, why did they retcon that?
NCC-1305-E; I think they decided that they wanted to make it so that "Enterprise" was the only name that had ever been given the honour of retaining the same registry across various ships in order to drive home the "prestige" factor.
Yes, or less confusing maybe?
They had several different registries for the Yamato, and other ships, in background display screens sometimes too.
