At what depth were your fish set at for the yamato? Yes it is true that many of these ww2 ships were able to take serious hits and keep on floating and fighting. If you look up the Yamato and Musashi you will see the amount of bombs and torpedo hits it took to sink them. The turret explosion on board the Iowa in 89 that would have sunk just about any other ship at that time, she still went on to complete her missions. That damage is repairable also. The parts to fix her are located within #2. Hope that helps.
There is a nice memorial on the Norfolk Naval Base called Iowa point dedicated to the sailors lost in #2.
