How come nobody wants to be in the San Bernadino Strait to see the Yamato's sister ship the Musashi get pummeled by carrier planes? She put up one heck of a fight too. In that battle the Musashi actually used her 18.1" guns against incoming US aircraft using a special spray shell called sanshiki-dan (beehive). However, it proved ineffective.
