Battleship Yamato - Page 2

From Yamatos TROM:

10 June 1942:
1200 miles SE of Tokyo. After sunset, an unidentified submarine fires two torpedoes at YAMATO about 100 miles NNE of Minami-Torishima (Marcus Island). YAMATO and the other ships in the Main Body turn to port and both torpedoes miss.

28 August 1942:
Near Truk. YAMATO is attacked by LtCdr (later Vice Admiral) Glynn R. Donaho's USS FLYING FISH (SS-229). Since Donaho's ONI 41-42 "Recognition Manual" does not include the unknown YAMATO-class, he identifies her as a "KONGO-class" battleship. Donaho fires four Mark 14 steam torpedoes and thinks that he sees two hits, but they are premature explosions. YAMATO launches at least one E13A1 "Jake" floatplane to counter-attack. FLYING FISH is bombed and depth-charged by four escorts, but makes good her escape.

25 December 1943:
180 miles NE of Truk. At 0320, LtCdr (later Rear Admiral) Eugene B. McKinney, acting on an "Ultra", is running on the surface in USS SKATE (SS-305). McKinney picks up YAMATO at 27,000 yards. He dives and tries to close, but is unsuccessful until YAMATO turns towards him. He passes down her starboard beam, turns and fires his four stern tubes at her. One or two Mark 14-3A torpedoes hit YAMATO on the starboard hull near turret No. 3 at 10-5N, 150-32E. A total failure of the main armor belt system occurs due to a flawed joint between the upper and lower side protection belts. The upper magazine for No. 3 turret floods. YAMATO takes on about 3,000-tons of water. The transport mission is aborted.

10 January 1944:
Departs Truk for Kure with DesDiv 4's MICHISHIO, ASAGUMO and DesDiv 32's FUJINAMI.
11 January 1944:
At 1800, YAMATO is spotted by USS HALIBUT (SS-232), but the submarine is unable to attack.
14 January 1944:
At 2330, USS BATFISH (SS-310) picks up YAMATO group on radar, then visually, but BATFISH is unable to close the range for an attack.

10 June 1944: Operation "KON" - The Relief of Biak:
1600: Departs Tawi Tawi for Batjan with the MUSASHI, CruDiv 5's HAGURO and MYOKO, DesRon 2's light cruiser NOSHIRO and destroyers. Cdr Sam Dealey in USS HARDER (SS-257), on station nearby, reports the Kon Force leaving Tawi Tawi.

15 June 1944:
YAMATO group is sighted and reported by the USS SEAHORSE (SS-304) east of Mindanao.

21 November 1944:
The YAMATO group is attacked by USS SEALION II (SS-215). KONGO and destroyer URAKAZE are sunk.

So it looks like she had quite a bit of contact with the silent service over her career.

Of course one torpedo hit wasn't going to be notice by the crew, with the armor of the Yamato. Don't you forget that the battleship manage to resist the sea water and then fire from gamillon spaceships, and travel to space and destroy almost everything that was on it way...

I'm sorry but I couldn't resist to make a connection with Space Battleship Yamato...or Star Blazers.

The images are from the last movie made about the Yamato, "Yamato:Final Battle"?

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.

No, it is called "The Last Order".

But it is region code 2, and no english script.

So you have to understand Japanese....

I'm surprised at there being no subtitles actually, that's discouraging because I'd really like to see that at some point.

The movie is called in English: " Otoko Tachi No Yamato "

The english subtitles are available on the internet for the AVI version.

(By the way; they are out of synchrony but they can be fixed with a subtitle editor in less than 5 minutes).

That would be another awsome event to see. I would be happy if they included both the Yamato and Musashis final fights

As long as we get to try having a go at them before their undoing

Yes, quite a movie. Very bloody indeed, but one can imagine what a shell does if it hits a AA emplacement in the open. Or thirty men close together anywhere for that matter.
And I hope the campaign DOES NOT stop in october '44

Don't keep scaring me LOL, just give me SH3 in the Pacific with the right improvements!

VON_CAPO · 01-06-07, 10:32 AM

Japanese vision of why they attacked Pearl Harbour.
It was the known economic sanctions method, but that time it backfired.
This is the first time that I know the motivation.

Screenshots from the same movie:
