Thanks for the reminder. I've read Hara's book; he gives a great front-row-seat description.

Hey I was some minutes ago reading about Yamato in Wikipedia and missed completely the aniversary

No wonder my wife gets mad when I forget her birthday or our own wedding aniversary

(A capital sin if you are about to preserve your marriage, didn't you know?)

Anyway...beautiful ship, I have been inloved with battleships long before falling inlove with submarines. Too bad her hour came in a time when the battleship was no longer the dominant vessel in the oceans. Without them even knowing it, they were at the time of WW2 only floating bodies, waiting for their flying executor to appear.
