It’s not incredible engineering anymore and more just dumb engineering when you realize how the Yamato was sunk so easily

This comment was written by a Japanese person through Google Translate, so there may be some errors in the translation. The 46cm main gun, the main armament of the battleship Yamato and the largest cannon in the world, was kept secret not only from the United States and other countries at the time, but also from the Japanese people, and even from military personnel who had no direct connection to the Yamato, and was given the name "Type 90 40cm turret" so that it would not be realized that it was the largest cannon in the world. Following on from the main guns, which are Yamato's distinctive armament, we will also introduce the 15.5cm secondary guns. These secondary guns were modified from the 15.5cm main guns that were removed from the Mogami-class light cruisers (second-class cruisers) that were originally scheduled to be converted into heavy cruisers when Japan withdrew from the Naval Armament Treaty and there were no longer any restrictions on the possession of heavy cruisers (first-class cruisers), and were instead replaced with 20.3cm main guns, and were installed on the Yamato-class. The Type 89 12.7cm anti-aircraft gun, the most common anti-aircraft gun in the Japanese Navy, was installed on various Japanese Navy ships regardless of ship type, including the modernized Kongo-class, Fuso-class, and Ise-class. Of course, the Yamato-class battleships were no exception, and some of the guns installed on aircraft carriers were equipped with shields to protect the anti-aircraft gun and crew from smoke and seawater spewing from the chimneys, and some of the Yamato-class guns were equipped with shields to protect the gun and crew from the blast when the main gun was fired. This anti-aircraft gun was introduced during the Pacific War, but at the time Japan did not have the technology to accurately shoot down American aircraft, which were fast and durable, and the development of a successor anti-aircraft gun was difficult, so it fought in the Pacific War and the Chinese Civil War as a valuable artillery for both Chinese armies, along with tanks and destroyers provided to Japan when it was defeated after the war. The Type 96 25mm anti-aircraft gun is a typical anti-aircraft gun of the former Japanese military, widely adopted by both the Japanese Army and Navy. There were single-barreled versions, which you grab the handle with your arm and move it to aim and fire, and twin and triple-barreled versions, which you turn a handle to determine the elevation, depression and direction and then fire. In the field, the single-barreled guns were more highly rated because it was difficult to keep up with the aircraft when aiming by turning the handle, and it was difficult to hit the target properly at close range. When the Yamato-class battleships were first built, only those with shields to protect them from the blast of the main guns were installed, but when the usefulness of aircraft was proven, the 15cm secondary guns on both sides were removed and many anti-aircraft guns and shielded triple-barreled 25mm guns, as well as many exposed machine guns linked to a fire control system and wireless (which could also be operated by manned forces) were added. All guns except the radio-controlled ones were manually aimed, and unfortunately the fire control systems that controlled the radio-controlled ones did not perform very well, but the 25mm was a large caliber for a "machine gun" and had excellent destructive power, and it is said that they were able to achieve some success against the sturdy American aircraft that were approaching.

From the air a ship is bombed

Watch my 460mm go bang!

The battle off Samar was the only time Yamato put her guns to use, being her only surface action and all. Yamato verifiably hit the escort carrier Gambier Bay and the destroyers Johnston and Hoel with her main and/or her secondary guns beyond 20,000 yards, sinking or helping to sink all three ships, and damaged the escort carrier White Plains with a debated hit/near miss at 34,500 yards.

Incorrect, all of her hits on USS Hoel and USS Johnston were from inside the 6 mile range of their torpedoes. Most hits were at a range of 4,000 to 5,000 yards - all hits were basically inside point blank range for battleship main guns. The hit on Gambier Bay was from 10 miles, and there's no debate regarding the near miss that damaged White Plains, it was a miss. Compared to the USS Washington hitting the IJN Kirishima with 89% of her shots (both main and secondary guns) at 8,000 yards at night that's pretty poor battleship gunnery. Simply put, the North Carolina class and South Dakota class battleships could have stayed outside of the effective range of Yamato's guns and pummelled her into oblivion.

@nemesisgaming9479

Powerful, yes, but it would've lost to the Iowa had they met. While the Yamato holds the advantage in broadside weight and range, it had no capability to see/aim that far. The Iowa was faster, and could accurately fire beyond visual range. Japanese metallurgy was also suspect at best. Upon test firing at the frontal plate armor of the turret they found numerous cracking in the metal. I can't find the source anymore, but I also remember reading something along the lines that IJN were using ww1 style plunging fire ammunition instead of the more current ammunition fielded by the USN. This is also another advantage to the Iowa. All things considered, the tier x status is more hype than realism.

@captainphilips5469

3 ай бұрын

Iowa could not fire beyond her effective range, which was not better than other battleships. When her fire control was being developed it was hoped that radar and a advanced fire control computer would allow her to fire accurately to her maximum firing range but this was proved incorrect when firing at USS Nevada for over 5 days and achieving an extremely low hit rate. Even modern ships still have an effective firing range lower than their max range. So if Iowa is close enough to actually hit Yamato then Yamato can also target her. Yamato did not have the best radars but they were capable of finding a battleship sized opponent well before in gun range. Secondly US metallurgy was not superior to Japanese. On plates thicker than 10 inches Japanese Armour was superior at resisting penetration however was susceptible to shattering after multiple hits. US Armour was not as hard therefore was able to take more hits before losing strength but could not stop penetration as well as Japanese Armour of the same thickness. And Yamato had extremely thick Armour. As to which ship would win, it is a matter of opinion really and could go either way.

Worse: it wasn't even that high of quality. It LOOKED impressive, sure, but the Japanese simply didn't have enough high quality steel to actually build it correctly. They had to cut corners with pig iron, and skimp on the secondary armaments... ...which included the AA guns at a time when air warfare had just showed its superiority. It was also stupidly slow and bulky, and didn't have ANY submarine defenses. Hitting it at the same time with both subs and air is the reason why it was doomed only a few hours after it left port. It was a military disaster, and a logistical nightmare, which is why US didn't build our own super heavy battleship just to one-up the Japanese. Instead we built the largest aircraft carriers ever because MURICA.

This ship is brutal

Any ship would have suffered the same fate. A single ship against an entire Armada of aircraft is not what these ships were designed for. Yamato was on a suicide almost solo mission. You need combined air cover. And even with the amount of aircraft that were in the air it took several bombs and about 12 torpedos before the ship succumbed to the firepower against her. This thing was a juggernaut. Remember, the Japanese also did not have proximity fuses. The US would have lost many more planes if that were the case.

@a_rice_bowl3663

The USS Laffey suffered a pretty comparable mark for being just a destroyer where it took four direct bomb hits and six kamikazes. Now granted there wasn’t torpedos involved, but damage control and air defense were two very defining portions of the naval battles of WWII in the pacific theater imo

@@wheelmanv Dinosaur indeed - IJN Yamato was a tactical threat that was seldom used. Nobody was being called an idiot. The Iowa Class certainly had its role in WW2. Consider this strategic trend of air power over BBs: 1. July, 1921 - Billy Mitchell's land-based airmen sink the KMS Ostfriesland in an inter-war demonstration of air power over naval warships. 2. November, 1940 - HMS Illustrious carrier aircraft damage multiple Italian warships in the Port of Taranto. Afterwards Japanese naval attaches study the results on site. 3. May, 1941 - HMS Ark Royal carrier aircraft disable the steering on KMS Bismarck, setting her up for destruction by the guns of HMS Rodney and HMS King George V, and the torpedoes of other surface units. 4. December 7, 1941 - Naval aircraft from 6 IJN carriers are used to disable or destroy many aging USN battleships at Pearl Harbor. IJN used the lessons of Taranto to great effect. 5. December 10, 1941 - Land based Japanese aircraft sink HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales near Malaya because they had no air cover. 6. June, 1942 - Although available for the overall operation, IJN Yamato's significant anti-aircraft battery was not close enough to Midway to assist. Instead, land and carrier based aircraft from Midway and 3 USN carriers win 4-1 (in carrier count). Note that the USN had NO battleships present. A day or so later IJN Mikuma (a heavy cruiser) is sunk because it had no air cover. 7. November, 1942 - Yes, USS Washington sinks the IJN Kirishima at night off Guadalcanal. However, just prior, USN cruisers disable IJN Hiei at night; she is finished off in daylight by land-based aircraft from Henderson field on Guadalcanal. These battles were really about the strategic value of the U.S. air power based on Guadalcanal. IJN Yamato was based at Truk at this time and could have been dispatched for these battles, yet it never entered the waters of the Solomons. 8. Later in the war the Iowas and other 16" BBs escorted Essex Class carriers to provide anti-aircraft support with their stupendous arrays of 5" guns. They were also useful in shore bombardment with varying results. They were never "garbage", just not as strategic as aircraft carriers.
