    Photo of Yamato as she nears completion early 1941. One of her (18.1) inch guns in 'Y'turret can be seen at maximum elevation.

    All of the battleships were a source of national pride for their respective nations. Too soon were they all proven to be obsolete, however, by the advent of the carrier.
