I was very happy to see the way the hangar bay was redesigned for the reboot series. I didn't really notice the fact that the interior of the Yamato didn't make any sense when I was eight years-old, but when I re-watched the original series as an adult, it was clear that the hangar bay couldn't possibly fit in the available space. Great job of showcasing this section of the ship!

Yeah - love the original show as well. But the insides were always a wee bit dodgey. Particularly the relationship between the Lower and Upper Fighter bays and the Engine room. The smaller engine spaces and the "Carousel" fighter bay on the reboot makes so much more sense.
Would this be 'Real COOL' is they made a model kit of this ............. in 1/72 SCALE!!!!! WHOA!!! Super animation!!! Nice how you put the Cosmos Tiger wings folded up!!!
A very compact way to store and launch 38 fighters. That's a much as many dedicated carriers carry. One issue I can see is it makes you very dependent on the launch system working. If one of those rings gets damaged and is unable to move, or the launch ramp gets smashed, any fighters still inside are trapped. There's not enough room to manouvre your way out of the bay, even in micro-gravity. Normally that's not a problem, as you'd launch fighters well before Yamato engages in direct combat, but a sneak attack, ambush or pre-emptive strike could cripple the Yamato's fighter response. The other issue is that it only launches one at a time. Even at 15 seconds per fighter, that's around 10 minutes to launch an alpha strike. Still, trade-offs. You are sacrificing redundancy and speed of response for being able to carry and launch the maximum power projection from a single ship.
