In that version of the ship, her primary armament in those turrets is still the Shock Cannons, but the front 3 Turrets can STILL load SHELLS just in case they lose power from the main engines! Even drained of power, the Yamato can still fight with missiles and could still lob volkswagon sized SHELLS with the main guns! And sometimes this was actually the BETTER OPTION. Shock cannons can't fire on ballistic arcs - but the shells CAN and fire over the horizon on a planetary surface!

Not to mention, the attack profile of those planes is different than that of a conventional cruise missile. With Iowa and an ordinary cruise missile, you're looking at a ship where the armored area is large enough to keep the ship afloat, even if everywhere else is flooded, and you're looking at armor that can defend against the standard cruise missiles nowadays, because, well, they aren't designed to penetrate armor. Their armor certainly wasn't the main appeal, though, you're right about that.

    I remember talking to my relatives when they were still alive. As they grew near the end of their time(s) they spoke what the whisky, cigarettes, and beers consumed at the VFW, Legion, and AMVETS had held back. I listened, asked questions when I was allowed, and learned. Now when I see something like this, I take away what some like me take away. As a PhD in science, the nerd loved this. As a genetic descendent of WWII men who fought and gave their limbs (1) and lives (1- KIA/MIA still), ...I see men who fought like rabid dogs from hell, so we didn't have to live in the real one the Axis was trying to set up on the earth. I am a child of the Greatest Generation, I watched these men afterwards...FROM MY VIEWPPOINT, no one fought harder and lived under harsher conditions.

      I felt the same way 'Boats,' but frankly it was a fun bit of make believe to watch. The 'old timers' who appeared as ghosts might have were mostly Battleship Sailors who served in several ships, not just Missouri. One was wearing a USS North Carolina ballcap, that would make him a WWII veteran. Most of the others served in the four Iowa class ships primarily during the 1980s and 90s with a few who served during New Jersey's Vietnam cruise and earlier during the Korean War.
      Off hand, I think they probably taught the movie production kids a thing or two about seamanship in general and battleships in particular.

    My favorite scene in the movie was when the Vets showed up to help the protagonists. Yes, it's cheesy and unrealistic, but damn is it cool to see the vets on the ship and in action.
    I wonder how much time and effort went into the invite the vets and to hear them tell stories on set. It must have been magical.

      When I first saw that scene, with old veterans offering themselves as volunteers, I had both goosebumps and tears down my face.
      I still do, when I re-watch the Movie ( couple of times already)

      Actually its not unrealistic. todays sailors/computer operators dont know how to work those guns. Its just like todays army. Unless it be in the airborne or light units most artillery is rockets. they have no idea how to work the big guns. but you give us old guys the rounds, fuses, and powder bags we need and we will make those old girls talk to ya. I will never forget seeing that lanyard pulled and feeling the concussion roll through my body as she belched smoke and flame and the metal deck under your feet bucks up half a foot GOD what a rush. I started on the 110s and then went to the 109s which were fun but nothing like the convertibles for sheer awesomeness especially during night missions. Red Leg to the bone.

    The Missouri is an example of what pure strength looks like. Not much technology on her but I promise you wouldn't want any of what she has to offer.
