Good story! Congratulations on sinking the Yamato. I got a look at the Yamato once in early '42. I was in an S boat headed back to base with only the 4 torps loaded in my tubes. I stumbled across a TF with the Yamato in the center and a Kongo on the outside starboard side, inconveniently between me and the Yamato. I shot all 4 at the Kongo with one miss. It limped off with a significant list to starboard and a little wisp of smoke coming from amidships, but still making good speed. I know the Yamato would have laughed at 4 Mark 10s, but I sure would have liked to have gotten the shot!
