Cut-and-pasted from some Navy Forum: Yamato's main armanant was nine 18.1/45 guns, divided into threes per turret. Secondary armanant was 12 6.1 guns, divided into twos per turret. Additinal secondary was also twelve 5 in guns. Main AA armanant was some 150 25mm guns. An additinal 4 thirteen milimetres was also used.

That's about 187 guns. A LOT!
