Wikipedia had a edit war to hide Yamato sinking itself

What an amazing ship and an amazing crew. Unimaginable loss of life on both sides. Their scarifies were made to defend their countries. Ordinary people following their orders. So sure that right was on their sides, it would be wonderful to think that lessons were learnt never to let it happen again. Unfortunately l don’t think these lessons have made an impact on the newer generations. Hence some believing that the Holocaust and these huge fights for freedom took place. It’s important that this information is made known to them. The age of all the individuals involved the kids today are still at school. A whole generation across the world in lots of countries gave their lives willingly. May they all rest or live in peace.

They were the largest and most powerful battleships ever built, but not the biggest warships. The American supercarriers are considerably larger, while the British supercarriers are broadly comparable in size.

Beauty and awe do not count in a battle. The larger the target, the easier it is to hit it.

The really interesting concern in a possible encounter between the Yamato and Iowa class battleship was that even with the larger sized weapons on the Yamato's, they were not that much more powerful than the 16"50 cal main weapons on the Iowa class. The size of the projectiles was 3200# for the 18.1" rifles on the Yamato class, vs. 2700# for the 16/50 cal. rifles on the Iowa class. An additional point is that the loading mechanism for the Iowa class was also quicker and could salvo faster than the 18.1s on Yamato (almost a 2:1 ratio if I rerecall correctly. In the end, though, what matters is which ship got the first important hit and where. The Iowa's had a quicker rate of fire. Now, neither one of them could come out of such a donnybrook with a smile for the admirals, but.. the difference was that THAT significant because of the type of rifle (not to mention the speed and radar) of the Iowa's. Besides..... most of the work at that point in the war was done by SBDs and TBFs in the daylight. Well, I forgot the Hell Divers, but my Uncle said they were a bloody pain in the (unmentionable in polite circles!)

Yet Yamato was turned away from the US landing zone by a handful of aircraft flying off the jeep carriers of the Taffy group, plus the courageous crew of a few destroyers. The planes did not have the loadout to pierce Yamato - their role was to support the landings with HE bombs, not armor piercing. There was no battleship within several hours of the landing zone. Kurita lost his nerve, or magnificently chose to avoid the needless loss of life he could have inflicted on a near-defenseless foe, in a war that was already lost. We will never know what he was thinking as he ordered his ships to retreat when they were within minutes of being in range to smash the vulnerable transports and auxiliary ships, and the soldiers ashore at the beach head. The other side of the coin in having 18.1 in. main battery is how those shells could go right through a ship with no armor, leaving behind much less damage than smaller battleship guns might cause. It was the right weapon to fight against any warship, but had too much gun to attack thin-sided transports and auxiliaries.

@@markl4673 who asked?

The flaw was building a battle ship not a carrier

@@zopEnglandzip It was laid down under the terms of the Second London Naval Treaty, it did cheat a bit and was heavier than it should have been, but it's one think to build a ship a little on the heavy side, it's another thing entirely to build a different class of ship...you can create plausible deniability for the former, but you won't fool anyone with the latter.

@@zopEnglandzip I was extremely surprised (a serious WTF) to read that by far the most effective naval weapon was the pressure triggered naval mine that was sown by bombers in enemy harbors. Both by hit percentage and cheapness, naval minds absolutely destroyed the Japanese navy and merchants. Apparently, the US also had no idea how effective they were, but it makes sense since every ship must go by a harbor, and every mine is always ready to detonate.

@@langhamp8912 yea they totally gutted the mine laying ability out of the argonaut. Why? Stupid admirals.

@@zopEnglandzip Carriers were more fragile, and therefore not unsinkable either. People forget that.

Yamato was sent out to do suicide operation. Even ship fuel was not enough to run return back. Its the single trip. Japan high command didn't want her being captured because it presented the emperor navy honoraly. So no need to plan attack them.

@@alexlo7708 True. Though this made no difference with the USN's attack planning.

Interesting. Do you think they could've won the war?

@@JacobGrim Anything is possible, but IMO poking the US before solidifying control elsewhere was a huge blunder. Hindsight is always 20/20, but the way Americans felt about pretty much anything in the Pacific at that time, Japan could have taken over the entire Pacific and likely parts of South America and US citizens would have ignored them. Minus Pearl Harbor of course. Even if all they did was secure and build up their own supplies from their takeover of the island nations between Japan and Aus. they would have had a better chance. I think, personally, they could have taken over all of china and India and the islands and the US would have left them alone for 20 years, only paying attention if Australia was threatened at that time. Basically, Japan could have been the other world power, but they decided to poke the bear with a stick instead. But that is speculation of course also.

The industrial mite, abundance of raw materials, converting American Industry to a war time footing creates a endless supply of war material. The abundance of well trained American pilots sealed the deal

Japan if u look at the nation is about the size of California.. they had to reach out an take over other land in order to fule their war time efforts. But America had everything they needed in their own back yard. I think this was a disadvantage for japan. They had to move in an take over lands rich with oil as well as natural resources their small country didnt have like the United states had in abundance. This is why Yamamoto said what he did about the sleeping giant.. he knew if they wasnt successful in knocking the big guy on the block out with one punch? It would spell disaster for japan. An he was correct in his assumption. Industrial might comes from resources like what America brought to bare from all parts of its mass of land, man power, an industrial might. Natural resources was the straw that broke japans back. The same thing happend to hitler when he dove into Russia.. he over extended an paid the price because his war machine was stretched out to far with no meat to keep his amys fed. Germany i dont think is much bigger than the state of oklahoma. These tiny country's had to reach out an fight to take over what they used to do what they did. It cost them big time as well. That an the fact their leaders was stupid .. cause they bit off more than they could chew.

@@wideawake7071 You are correct. Thing with japan is, they could have taken over all the islands between them and Australia, and over towards India, and the US likely would have left them be as we were busy in Europe. It might have turned into something later after England was upset and wanted back their stuff, but even that would have been to Japan's advantage because they could have stockpiled and expanded their forces. The one place japan could have gone and gotten zero international pushback was China. In general though, expansionist idealists want to see the fruits of their ambitions before they are dead because ultimately the whole prospect is driven by their greed and selfishness. There are a lot of current events going on that fit this also, but thats a different video.

Truth be told, the vessel was located by the Czechoslovakian navy.

In the end, even enemies at war recognize that after the shooting stops, the sea was, is, and will always be the largest problem to deal with for anything afloat, even the biggest battlewagons and carriers.

It should be since the Japanese had their battleships custom designed and built by the British prior to WWII.

So a single bi-plane can fly over the entire enemy fleet and drop thousands of sticky notes that read "UNSINKABLE!" and the fleet is screwed? That actually might work.

The thing is, alot of ships were though unsinkable, but by 1945 japan still though in this idea when operation Ten-go was underway, wanting to beach Yamato, but eventually sunked before it could be rendered unsinkable.

A lot of these so-called WWII "documentaries" are as much drama as anything else. The superiority of naval air-power over surface ships was proven tentatively at Pearl Harbor and definitively 3 days later in the South China Sea when Prince of Wales and Repulse were sunk. There were many carrier battles from those early days until Leyte Gulf that only reinforced the point.

@First Last Its a joke, we tend to laugh at anything deem'ed Mighty or unsinkable, when in fact it gets sunked easily by whatever you want.

@First Last I think it was a joke, but maybe not?

It may not necessarily have been Musashi that the fishermen were getting their nets snagged on, she lies a lot deeper than most of their nets would reach. In this video I saw no real evidence of nets snagged by her. The seamount tops come a lot closer to the surface, plus Musashi isn't the only shipwreck in those waters.

@@robertf3479 its been awhile since the last time fishermen were trying to fish around the musashi’s grave. And yes you dont see no evidence cuz you dont see no nets around the remaining of musashis. But lets be honest you can barely even see musashi in there which its length was 862 feet, and 71,659 tons. Most fishermen in the Philippines uses thick threads as a net and that dissolves in just days to months, which leaves no trace behind.

@@itskimmycouture At a depth of 1.5 kilometers (@750 fathoms?) Only if the nets first broke away from the fishing boats and if there were none of the usual floats, then yes ... perhaps. One of the first sources of information on local conditions and wrecks in the area to be searched is for the salvors or marine archeologists to talk with the local fishermen. Either these guys didn't take that elementary step or there was no information to be found. I also watched a two hour long survey of Musashi and saw no nets and heard no mention of them. Nets like these would be a hazard to both manned and unmanned survey craft. Here is a link to that survey video: Musashi (武蔵) Expedition Live - RU-vid

Kind of hard to find fish at that depth....

I wouldn't call it a battle, it was more like an execution.

@@gratius1394 First rule of tactics: Never give a sucker an even break. The object is to win, not to fight fair. Oldendorf held all the advantages, and he used them ruthlessly. What was amazing was that anything flying the Rising Sun made it back from Surigao to tell the tale. Most of what was still afloat after the PT boats & destroyers' torpedoes, and the cruisers' and battleships' gunfire was finished off by air attacks over the next day or two. VAdm Shima showed remarkable savvy to take one look at the situation and retire from the arena.

@@mrz80 I'm not questioning Oldendorf's tactics, it's obvious from military standpoint that his actions were 100% correct. The odds were stacked against Shima from the beginning. I just don't like how the battle itself is often romanticized as a retribution for Pearl Harbor attack. If anything, TF 58's aerial raids against Japanese Home Islands (especially attacks on Kure) in summer of 1945 should be recognized as such. IMHO gunning down two oldest and most outdated IJN battleships in service at that time isn't exactly an outstanding achievement.

While the captain 👨🏼‍✈️ of Battleship Okinawa said, “Okay!! 👍 👌” when his battleship was sunk. The Japanese are crazy!,.?!

My dad was in 7th fleet, at Leyte on the CVE-70 Fanshaw Bay. It was an aircraft carrier and he was on it for the duration on it's service. He didn't talk about it much. I think I know why, one reason, was because he said they could see something being thrown off onto the rocks in Okinawa. The men found out later that it was parents killing their own children. 😪♥️😪

Yep, 18 inch AP shells punched straight through destroyers which is why the destroyers, inspite of multiple direct hits took next to no damage. The shells were too big and the AP fusing meant they didn't detonate till well out the other side of the ship with too much water between the destroyer and the shell for the shell to do anything.

Your dad was a lucky man to live through that. I believe it was the USS Johnston that fought bravely until it was sunk. The survivors weren't rescued right way either. They were in the water for several days until they were picked up. Many were lost to sharks. So sad. Glad your dad made it.

@@PlatinumIrishrose Just the other day i learned about that too! & how the Japanese army soldiers were NOT there to PROTECT the Okinawans.. (Japanese propaganda & culture was..

I'm heartbrokenly convinced she never stopped crying.. R.I.P o7

Yeah, unfortunately most of the Cruisers realized the mistake & switched from armor piercing shells to incendiary or whatever other shells that they knew would either damage the ships more, or shrapnel shells that would kill any sailors in the vicinity. And luckily they withdraw. But then they started getting kamikaze attacks not long after. And the kamikaze's did more damage than the Yamato, the largest battleship to ever prowl the Pacific!!..

The IJN were understandably incredibly dismissive of earlier US torpedos. Their fatal flaw was SOME of the IJN high command didn’t think the US would / could learn and improve them.

@@ryanp5790 A large majority of shipwrecks are the gravesites of sailors, yet many are scavenged. What's the difference between a 500 year old sunk vessel and a 76 year old sunk vessel? Living memory and ethics. The same people that scavenge warships of yore are a bit hypocritical saying a more recent ship is off limits because there are people that still remember it. The film is arguably far more important than scavenging parts of the ship, it could give additional insight into the crew and the ship. It could also be delivered to the family of said sailor(s) that took them.

@@GGigabiteM just because the majority are wrongfully scavenged doesn’t mean it’s right to scavenge another. A grave of a young man who was killed in war should be respected with the upmost respect just like any other grave. We know what happened to Musashi, there’s other sources that point to what happened. If they found a blueprint or something of the sort I don’t see much of an issue. But I think personal belongings should stay with the men who lost their lives

the Yamato exploded as she rolled over and sank. tearing her in half

no the Musashi broke apart after she sank due to an explosion

The success of Taffy 3 was also because Kurita bungled his escorts. He had plenty of destroyers to screen his capital ships, but he made a huge error in positioning them in the wrong place. If not for that incompetence, the Japanese would have won Leyte Gulf.

For Brigadier General 'Vinegar Joe' Stilwell . My father always told me the same thing . How did he come out of the War. He always said, he shot at everything that moved in front of him. Then there was a guy in Cleveland , Ohio. Making bullets for him. Now you see what I mean. He did not want to talk about what he experienced. Like most Armed Forces Veterans

Yea i was going to say the same thing since it was mainly Yamato

Actually...you would be wrong. Musashi and Yamato were ships of the Yamato-class...but Musashi was the lead ship and Admiral Yamamoto's flagship. For all their lauded power, Yamato was sadly given the nickname "Hotel Yamato" because she spent more time transporting sailors from one port to another than she ever saw combat. She saw very few actual engagements that would showcase what the Yamato-class ships could actually do, but when she did finally get to show her teeth it was too late. But the Battle for Okinawa displayed the level of punishment that she could take, much like Musashi did. And she did indeed go down swinging. 15+ torpedo hits and 30+ aerial bombs before one punched through the upper deck and hit the #1 battery magazine and blew her wide open.

@@technewsfortechnoobs They called Yamato the hotel for admirals cuz she spent most of her short life in port flying the highest admirals flags

@@scottycarter5535 Ummm....wrong. She spent most of her life as I said, ferrying troops from one port to another. I did a 20-page research paper on her in college. Trust me...everything I read over 7 historical accounts said the same thing. Few engagements, lots of ferrying. And the only time Admiral Yamamoto's flag was raised on Yamato was after Musashi sank at the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

@@technewsfortechnoobs yea same the Yamato became the flag ship after the sinking of the musashi. They both were sunk tho, and both put up one hell of a damn fight.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, is that what the propaganda has finally come to about Suriago? "The battleships won!!". Lordy, the PT boats swarmed the Japanese ships, which couldn't turn, at all, and at some points in the straight had less then 10 feet of room below them, oh yeah, I am sure they all missed! I love the story as much as the next guy, how the resurected BB's got their revenge! But that was a propaganda story to bolster moral at home and discourage Japan. I have watched this story, this narative, slowly change from veteran's accounts of how the PT boats were crucial, to how they were just there for fire support and distraction and got a few hits in, to now.... where they were spectators to the great BB victory of the US. It is true, history is written by the victors, and as time goes on the story is sensationalized over and over by internet experts until it resembles the telephone game. Dear lord, 50 years from now the Japanese captains will have commit battleship Seppuku out of plain fear of the approaching might of the US Navy.

@@davenhla Actually it was destroyer torpedoes that did the most damage, sinking the Fuso and crippling the Mogami before they got in range of the battleships. It was notably ironic. The 1914 edition of Jane's Fighting Ships had a front plate with a builder's model of the Fuso, first battleship to be armed with a dozen 14-inch guns. She was a great favorite of newsreels. But neither she never fired against another ship. Only one ship from Nishimura's fleet survived, Shigure, the "Immortal Destroyer", commanded by Tameichi Hara, who survived the war and wrote a memoir. The ship got a reputation as a Jonah because this was not the only battle where it was the sole survivor. She was sunk by a submarine later in the war, after Hara took command of a cruiser--which was sunk out from under him along with Yamato. The English title of his book is "Japanese Destroyer Captain". I read it in high school more than fifty years ago.

and she too was sunk by a submarine the USS Archerfish

Nope, she was far from obsolete, just as the American Iowa-class wasn’t yet obsolete. Yamato and Musashi could’ve inflicted horrendous losses on the US Navy if they had been used more aggressively earlier in the war. Carriers had become more important, but battleships still filled a critical role in WW2.

@@Cailus3542 During the Guadalcanal campaign, Yamato and Musashi could have turned Henderson Feild into dust, sink several cruisers and destroyers on November 10th, and sink the American battleships South Dakota and Washington during the 15th of November.

they served an evil warring empire.

That is strange. They had proven that battleships are obsolete in an age of air warfare, and still built huge battleships.

yes, pre- nuclear steel. Like the German ships of ww1 at scapa flow .

And the hood, don't forget the pride of the royal navy also thought unsinkable because of her "uniqueness" but then got shattered into pieces by the more modern yet blinded (sort of) bismarck. Same goes a few others but generally, the ship that was the most unsinkable but eventually sunk was bismarck, heck there was a moment during the battle where sailors were like infantry on land due to how strong the metal on bismarck was, but eventually both german scuttling and british torpedoes got her down.

@@Mysteres78979 +1 Japanese sailors were convinced by their superiors they were safe from sinking on the Musashi and Yamato, too.

@@thumperjdm I mean, the yamato and musashi were the right ships for the wrong war, I mean, I know the atlantic is a little more different in its set up than the pacific theater, in the pacific, most of the combat was done by carriers while the atlantic, carriers were also employed but for other reasons and less often than not. But overall, even how hard you try to render your ship invincible, there will always be flaws in her design, the ship had a problem with its AA arrangement that could have been fixed on future design that would have included 100mm guns to replace the 127 all purpose ones. But overall the 25mm that were embarked were just, not that great. So yeah, again there was a bit of sense on how the japanese in 1945 were going to use the yamato at okinawa to render it *really* unsinkable, it was to beach her near the shore so that it would require more efforts to render her, inoperable, but she got sunked alot sooner than what the japanese wanted.

@@Mysteres78979 Nobody ever claimed the Hood was unsinkable, the British were painfully aware of the flaws of Battlecruiser design after the battle of Jutland.

Yamato class had 1128 completely watertight compartments compared to 6 semi-watertight compartments on Titanic, Yamato-class had 16 inches side armour and 8 inches deck armour compared to zero inches on Titanic, Yamato had a double bottom, high power pumps, etc, so all that had something to do with 1930's Japanese Naval Pride and Japanese Xenophobic Bravado. Also, Titanic was scratched by an iceberg, Yamato took 30-50 major bomb and torpedo hits. There is quite a difference.

It was a forward magazine explosion that destroyed the Arizona. When that ship's magazine exploded the barbet (foundation) of the #1 Turret was destroyed though the turret gun house itself survived as a recognizable structure and rests on what remains of the ship's keel there. #2 barbet was damaged but continues to support the turret gun house. The roof of the turret was removed to allow removal and salvage of the 14" guns. Musashi's internal design allowed the blast of the forward magazine to travel back into the midship spaces, blowing them apart as well as wrecking everything around and inside the magazine.

In addition to @Robert F's explanation, water cannot be compressed as air can. Meaning, while the force of the blasts on the Roma and Arizona were able to be vented to the exterior of the ship and the blast pressure absorbed by the air around them, the blast on the Musashi would have taken the path of least resistance - back into the hull as opposed to the exterior.

@@fpg213263fu ironic isn't it?

laman491 What’s even more ironic was that Japan used carriers and aircraft for its first naval strike against the US.

I was gonna say that

I keep seeing comments like this. Name other ships afloat at the time that could have sustained as much punishment. Typically when a warship is thought unsinkable, it is in the context of any realistically conceivable adversary. No one designs a ship to be able to survive a catastrophic disaster, or an overwhelming attack by an entire Armada. Because it is impossible to do so. It is doubtful that even an aerial attack would have sunk the ship easily without the degree of overwhelming force that was directed at Musashi. The designers of the ships need make no apologies.They made two of the most indestructible warships ever built. I think all the snarky comments directed at the subject of the video fail to take into account what a truly remarkable vessel it was. And what an achievement it was for a country as small, and as only recently industrialized as Japan was, to have built them.

Totally agree

The New Jersey was thought to be unsinkable. It's now a museum. A true super battleship. This one was just a battleship.

@@robertthomas5906 the entire Iowa Class, the Iowa in Los Angeles, the New Jersey in New Jersey, the Missouri in Pearl Harbor and the Wisconsin in Norfolk, VA

@@robertthomas5906 New Jersey (and the other Iowas), while exceptional and famous warships, were also lucky warships. They never came under a concentrated air attack or engaged in a serious surface engagement, so their limitations in protection (necessary for their speed) never became obvious. Swap out Musashi for New Jersey and NJ actually goes down even faster.

The point is that with air power and submarines, ship to ship battles were a thing of the past. The Musashi never got close enough to an enemy ship to use its big guns...even the Yamato didn't have much luck in the Leyte Gulf battle. Admiral Yamamoto himself said that the Yamato and Musashi were one of the greatest follies of mankind, like the Great Wall Of China and the Egyptian Pyramids. A totally useless waste .

In a battle with heavy fog, Iowa would sink Musashi. In every other battle condition, Musashi would most likley sink Yamato

I could mention that Yamato ran away from Taffy 3, but the blame for that lies in Admiral Kurita, not Yamato. Yamato displayed impressive gunnery, sinking or helping to sink 3 of the 4 ships lost, and damaging several others
