    Unfortunately for both crews of Yamato and Musashi, torpedos were their fate. Both these ships could take a beating from armored piercing from the sea or air, but you hit any ship enough on one side with torpedoes, you are going to roll her over. I dont care how heavy your side armor is and how much counter flooding you do. There is an old saying "a one legged duck can only swim in circles"

    Good shot very early before her #2 and #3 secondary turrets have been removed for anti aircraft guns have been installed.
