Equipped with the largest guns, heaviest armor, and with the greatest displacement of any WWII ship, the Yamato proved to be a formidable opponent to the US Pacific Fleet. The book contains a full description of the design and construction of the battleship including wartime modifications, and a career history followed by a substantial pictorial section with rare onboard views of Yamato and her sister ship Musashi, a comprehensive portfolio of more than 1,020 perspective line artworks, 350 color 3D views, and 30 photographs. The wreck of Musashi has been recently discovered to great excitement in Japan, renewing interest in these iconic warships.
