Very cool. In 1963 I was a 5 year-old U.S. Army dependent living in Kure. One afternoon, my father took me to the cavernous drydock that was the womb of Yamato. To an adult, I'm sure it was mightily impressive. To a 5 year-old, its depth and breadth were both awesome and unsettling, as if it were the cradle of an entire Cosmos.

I've been fascinated with Yamato ever since.
