    There is also one interesting design flaw with that ship: Most of the AA defence wasn't able to get it's barrels lower than 10 Degrees, which made it possible for the Torpedo bombers to fly in at low altitude with relatively little resistance.

      @@haxsa4467 no the Bismark issue is they calibrated the gun sights to lead the targets and assumed it would be dealing with modren fighters and as such higher speeds not ww1 style biplanes.
      The fairy swordfish was slow enough AA fire passed in front of them.
      The Germans had a similar issue with the soviet 188th night bombers. The ww1 era surplus the night witches used had a max speed slower than Germans fighters stalling speed making them a pain to track in a dog fight as you'd line up for a shot and overtake them the speed also gave them an edge over AA sighted to track the more modren aircraft more normally deployed.

      @@nczioox1116 Actually no.. A great many bombs were dropped on it to little or no effect at all... The armour was just too much compared to what was being dropped.. The ship only sank due to torpedoes.. So if they actually beached the ship, it wouldn't sink, and would thus be a stationary battery platform that could shoot ridiculously large rounds at stupid distances..
      Doing this though, would make it stationary, and thus, much easier to hit for allied battle ships.. But, those would need to close the distance a little in order to shoot at it.. And of course, if a battleship could hit the Yomato, than the Yomato could absolutely fire back.. Sooo.. Yeah.. Sinking it before it could do that was a smart move..

    Even noticing that the Yamato and Musashi battleships were that of little use in the war the Americans still feared their power and capability of what they COULD do. It was proved when the Yamato blasted the US carrier from 20 miles out; they simply didn't want to take the chance of any surface vessels fighting the Yamato so damn near the WHOLE carrier fleet dove upon the ship without mercy.

    • @brainnim9935
      @brainnim9935 6 років тому +83

      Yeah despite the limited action, the implied capabilities on board those ships was insane. The guns on Yamato could fire beyond the visible horizon. Imagine seeing a lone scouting plane and then getting hit with those giant shells without the plane even coming near you.

    • @cyonemitsu
      @cyonemitsu 6 років тому +54

      It should also be noted the Japanese were some of the leaders in carrier design and doctrine, usually the single faceted narrative about the Pacific war talks about how Japan focused on battleships and the US focused on carriers, but in reality both of these navies were far more complex and both sides understood to some extent the value of carriers early on.

    The downside to massive super ships is that they are large and expensive, meaning you generally don't want to risk losing it, meaning its rarely used. It also means its a massive target for the enemy, so they will basically focus solely on the one ship until its down.

    • @largol33t1
      @largol33t1 Рік тому +2

      That's why their biggest mistake was not building two smaller ships for the price of the Yamato. Fortunately, their allies made the same dumb mistake with the Tirpitz. And just like the Yamato, the Germans were reluctant to use Tirpitz because it was "too special." The British got impatient and deployed entire divisions of bombers with a customized bomb designed specifically to sink it and that's exactly what they did on the 12th of Nov 1944.

    • @Imperium83
      @Imperium83 Рік тому +1

      It's called "Fleet in Being" doctrine and it's the only choice the Axis had with their navies as they could never compete with the industrial output of the Allies. They instead built massive threatening ships that the enemy would have to divert resources to keep tabs on.

Casablancas like the Gambier Bay were very small and not designed for surface warfare. They were auxilliary ships who were supposed to stick close to the big ships like the Iowa class battleships or the Yorktown carriers for protection from surface ships, as well as to specialize in anti-submarine warfare.
      Had it faced a Yorktown carrier like the Enterprise in a proper battle, She probably would sunk the Yamato easily. Because as it is, the Yamato took over three hours to sink Gambier Bay, who didn't even have the equipment for surface warfare, only anti-sub operations.

      They couldn't afford the gas. Literally. That was the biggest reason. Yamato's engines were gigantic, and since Japan was short of oil, and the chance of actually getting a worthwhile engagement with American surface ships was small, she stayed in port. The other problem was American Submarines, which tended to torpedo large Japanese warships with annoying frequency. In fact, that is what happened to the one the video mentioned getting turned into a carrier. They built it, launched it, sailed it out of the harbor they built it in, and a submarine immediately torpedoed it and sank it. She had a service career of 10 days.

    ....did it even sink anything remotely important? I think it sank a destroyer and shoot down a handful of planes but considering its cost the yamato seems like a military failure.

      A well built tool in poor hands produces poor results.
      From everything I've read about it, the Yamato wasn't used for the very purpose it was built for hence it's faulre. The ship was great and remains great though

      Japanese commanders acknowledged American superiority in numbers of ships and weapons. They though making a lead sponge with 18 inch guns would be ideal at countering this. The loss of aicraft carriers at Midway forced Japan to use the Yamato in a role it's not adequate to run. Look up Operation Ten-Go, this is exactly what happened.

      @@Ajourneyofknowing and apparently you can't take a joke. But the creators of the show taught us how much value the Japanese people value this ship. The original show looked at the ship as a character itself. While the refuted Ameriicanized version renamed Starblazers focused on the crew. The Japanese honor the Yamato very highly. I made my original comment months ago and you are just now responding to it?

    AS a kid in the 60's, we climbed all over the USS TEXAS, moored at the Houstn ship channel.
    The 3 inch deck guns were still in place back then and they moved around so as kids , we targeted and SANK every big ship that went through the ship channel =)
    We tallied over 3 million tons of shipping and all received decorations!!!
