actually gene the model is a manga :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Battleship_Yamato

i recognized it by the aft fins and the side pods i don't think the japanese were that advanced in ww2 lol

Yeah, there was a animation made in Japan about some group who raised the Yamato and made a spaceship out of it.

I read that the real Yamato is at the bottom of the Pacific, and the blast that destroyed it broke its spine and left the wreckage bent up.

Did wonder about those pods, figured it was some sort of support. Never mind.

Yeah, there really was a Yamato. The ship had two sisters, the Musashi and the Shinano (I think that was its name). The Musashi was lost towards the end of World War II.

One of the more bizarre facts I recall about those two ships were that they had a "spray shell" for the big cannon that were used for anti-aircraft purposes. Called "San-shiki-dan". Accelerated barrel wear but it was a desperation situation. Sank.

The Shinano's construction was halted part way, the big gun turrets were removed and it was converted to an aircraft carrier. During its fitting run it was torpedoed by a US submarine. The Shinano's crew were not experienced in damage control so the ship sank very fast.

Jane's fighting Ships 1943-44 lists 5 in that class. Yamato, Musasi, Tosa, Aki and Satuma.
The Yamato was sunk Apr 7, 1945 in action with the 3rd US Navy (according to the guy that first owned the book and recorded known "kills" in it), and it was thought that the last two (Aki and Satuma) were never completed. In a wartime edition, info on the enemy's ships is scarce unless they were sunk...

I had read a while back that two were completed as battleships, one was a carrier and a fourth one was scrapped. Don't recall it's name, I think it was just a work order or alike.

However Jane's knows more than I do but it makes sense that there was not reliable information.

As I recall work on the Yamato was completed behind screens to protect the site from spies. The Japanese were violating a treaty after all, that limited the tonnage of their capital ships.

As I said, my copy is 43-44, so the later editions probably had more info. It is nice t osee this one, though, as it has all the owner's notes as to when and where which ship was sunk, and by what method.

Holy bumpage!

Anyway, I once again bought nothing today. Nor did I buy anything yesterday. Nor do I plan on buying anything tomorrow, but I will check out some stuff from my local public library.

On Friday my wife's parents want to take us out to dinner for my birthday, but that's on their dime.

I will finally spend some money on Saturday, when I go to do the grocery shopping and get a haircut. I'll likely need to fill up then, too.
