Again, don't waste fish on Yamato. It's almost impossible.
It's my understanding that when you sink a capital ship like the Yamato, the game resurrects it anyway until such time as it was historically sunk. So as frustrating as it sounds she'll likely be in the order of battle at Leyte Gulf, sunk, damaged or otherwise. I've never understood why the game is coded that way.

However, given how little this giant white elephant of a warship contributed to the Japanese war effort overall it probably makes no difference. Victory is inevitable. More target practice for American pilots.
