Your welcome. Magnificent looking ships that's for sure.
I should clarify about my second link that has the South Dakota class BB's coming out pretty favorably compared to the Yamato's. This is of course a comparison with the guy doing the analyzing having access to post war information that of course wouldn't been available to everybody during the war. I don't know how well the USA had figured out the Japanese fire control system used on the Yamato.
