Check out War Thunder and use my link for a free large bonus back with boosters, vehicles, and more: playwt.link/hiddenhistory War Thunder is a highly detailed vehicle combat game containing over 2,500 playable tanks, aircraft, and ships spanning over 100 years of development. Immerse yourself completely in dynamic battles with an unparalleled combination of realism and approachability.
When You say that the triple 155 mm guns were reassigned to Yamato You should also make it clear that the Triple 18” main battery guns shown in the photo are not the 155 mm guns that became secondary battery guns on the Yamato. Just to make it clear to those of lesser knowledge about the subject.
My father was one of the USS Hornet's SBD pilots in VS-8 who was part of the attack on the IJN Mikuma and the Mogami. He was credited with hitting one of these cruisers with his bomb, but they weren't exactly sure exactly which one he hit. For his actions at the Battle of Midway he was awarded his first Distinguished Flying Cross.
One bit of confusion about this - was the belief that one of the American Dive Bomber pilots had crashed his aircraft into Mikuma on purpose. There were two things that caused this mistake. 1) The Dive Bomber had been shot down - and crashed into the water NEAR the Cruiser but not on it. 2) One of Mikuma's own scout aircraft - from the launch platform right next to the stern guns - was blown onto the roof of the next to last stern turret. This all led to people looking at the photograph of Mikiuma, seeing the wrecked aircraft on one of her turrets and believing it was the lost American Dive Bomber. .

What is the logic of sacrificing experienced crews in a sinking ship?
Dumb culture.
