Wow. This thread was deeper than the
Yamato and someone dredged it up.
By the way here's a diorama put together by some Japanese divers of what the
Yamato looks like today on the bottom of the South China Sea based on photos and soundings done in 1999. Imagine taking a plastic model of the ship and stuffing it with M-80 firecrackers. (Her magazines detonated on the way down.) Absolutely shredded.
