    A survivor of WW2 in the Japanese Navy gave a good example of how he realized Japan could never compete with the production of the United States, it was that the US attacked a single ship the Yamato with more planes than Japan used to attack Pearl Harbor.

    Flag battleship Yamato sank off Okinawa April, 1945, thus preventing even more US casualties than the 49,000 we did have, 12,000 dead. Compared to the larger, spread out main islands of Japan, Okinawa should have been easy pickings. The impact of the Battle of Okinawa figured largely in Truman’s decision that following August. Would it cost 50,000 troops to take each island of Japan? Each. A total perhaps of 200,000 to take the four largest islands? Losing this ship at this battle, would the Japanese military see that their quest was hopeless? They refused to. Many pleas for surrender were sent before the first bomb fell in August. Again, Truman asked for surrender. They refused. He waited three days. They refused all pleas for surrender. He had the second bomb dropped. Finally, the emperor, not anyone from the military, surrendered.

    I watched a recent YT Program on the Masahi (sic) regarding locating her undersea. Her original blueprints were located and reviewed. As these ships were so designed, massive hot rivets were used vs welding. They opined, among other reasons why Yamoto as Masahi sank so quickly, is the rivets heated up during the attacks and failed, popping out of the metal. It's an excellent program!

    • @gandydancer9710
      @gandydancer9710 10 місяців тому +1

      Don't believe every fairy tale that you're told. The Musashi did not sink quickly. It was about 9 hours between the first bomb and torpedo hits and when it capsized. And it took a LOT of bomb and torpedo hits. The Yamato was dispatched more quickly because the Americans took a lesson from their difficulty in sinking the Musashi and concentrated their torpedo attacks on one side of the ship, thus expediting its capsizing. This had nothing to do with failing rivets.

    The Yamato and Musashi to use gun owner parlance were "safe queens". Taken out of the safe to be handled and admired, but rarely if ever used. Often the most expensive and beautiful parts of a collection, but deathly afraid of being used by its owner for fear of marking it up.
