Re: IJN Battleships

But the Yamato never got a chance to beach itself....it got creamed from the air before reaching its destination instead. The BB was essentially obsolete throughout WW-II. Most of the actual combat seen by our own BBs during the was as offshore bombardment platforms. Between our subs and massive naval and Army AFs any surface ship, if spotted, was toast. And that 'die with honor' krap? Dead is dead.
