Sinking of Battleship Yamato Part I Animated 1945

The Sinking of Battleship Yamato Operation Ten-GO Part I (大和戦艦) is one of the most significant events in the history of naval warfare. Yamato was the flagship of the Imperial Japanese Navy and was one of the most powerful and largest battleship ever built. She was sunk on April 7, 1945, during the final stages of World War II, by American forces.

Could you cover Yamato's performance at the battle off Samar? It was Yamato's only time engaging enemy warships. It's believed that she sank the escort carrier Gambier Bay and the destroyer Johnston, helped to sink the destroyer Hoel, and damaged the escort carrier White Plains beyond repair.

Despite her oversized guns, _Yamato_ actually had a shorter effective engagement range than contemporary American ships, as she lacked fire-control radar.

[@hoosieryank6731]

And very poor quality radar, given the number of shells it had to fire to sink a WW1-era US DD in the early months of the war. At least the CVE's in Leyte were presumably slower and easier to hit.

[@bkjeong4302]

This actually only applies at night or poor weather: during the day, optical systems could match FC radar in effective range, due to WWII-era FC radars having shorter effective ranges than commonly assumed (even American radar fire control was simply not capable of reliable gunnery at the very long ranges people assume would’ve allowed American battleships to effectively outrange Yamato, as a gunnery exercise in 1944 using Iowa bore out). Pretty much all WWII-era battleships had effective ranges of around 25,000 yards. The difference radar made is that those with fire control radar kept that 25,000 yard effective range regardless of how bad visibility got.

[@bkjeong4302]

@@hoosieryank6731 Yamato never fired on any American ships in the early months of the war (though she was around); the only time she fired on enemy ships was during the Battle off Samar, where her gunnery was surprisingly good, getting in a number of very near misses on the CVEs (at a range that was actually beyond her effective engagement range) as well as direct hits on Johnston (though it’s worth noting that while she found accurate firing solutions quickly during the engagement, she also lost her targets once they moved into the cover of a rainstorm).

Yamato, Musashi and Shinano will forever be known as the best ships ever built for the wrong war. They were hoping for engagements similar to what they had gone thru with the, Russians, massive, open water battles, Battleships slugging it out. Yamato, Musashi and Shinano would have been great at it but by the time they launched, the very short, very limited windows of Battleship warfare had already come and gone.

[@SeanRCope]

They were obsolete before they touched water. All 3 sunk pretty quick.

[@phillipschaber7836]

"quickly" compared to what? Shinano is the only one that went down easily, 3 torp hits from Archerfish which was due to shoddy workmanship from the BB to CV conversion, they ran pipes thru bulkheads that were never resealed, water tight doors left open for easy passage for the trip... but the craziest part of the Shinano sinking was the fact they knew almost immediately they were being tracked by subs, they had the radar ping they could hear that cut out quickly which only meant one thing, an American sub within 10 miles.. and instead of turning around and parking back in the bay, they risked it anyway.. Yamato, 12 bombs, (1000 AP) 7 torp hits, Musashi 19 torpedo's and 17 bombs (1000 AP) that's hardly "quick" in terms of naval warfare... here's a GREAT video on the exact engagement that sunk, Shinano. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b33KlJKEqdx0prM@@SeanRCope

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

Yamato and her sister Musashi were literally the largest battleships ever built with the largest naval cannons used as main armament on any warship. Germany's Bismarck was the largest battleship in the world ironically for only six months before Yamato was launched, and much of what made Bismarck so big and heavy was classic German overengineering, particularly in still insisting on still using layered light, intermediate, and heavy gradated armor protection throughout the ship rather than the American innovation of the all-or-nothing armor scheme only over the ship's citadel. The sad fact of the matter, moreso for Yamato and Musashi given Bismarck was given an honorable end of a duel with other battleships, was that they were ships made on the basis of belief in a form of warfare that was already outmoded by the time Yamato was launched, and ironically-enough built and crewed by a navy that had shocked the world by adopting then-latest Western military technology and tactics to defeat the Russian Navy a mere three decades before the early 1900s.

[@bkjeong4302]

The Allied WWII-era battleships were just as outdated upon launch; they (save PoW) simply didn’t get sunk, and much of that was because the Axis powers left them alone due to their lack of value.

[@SuperCatacata]

Yeah, even attempting to compare Bismarck to Yamato is in itself sad. Nothing produced by the KMS or Royal Navy could stand a chance against it in old Battleship warfare. Bismarck was nothing but a huge amount of propaganda. Bismarck was more comparable to the British KGV class or the American South Dakota class with it's outdated armor and paltry 8 15" guns. Was a laughable wasted 50,000 tons of metal compared to the Iowa class or Yamato. But, like you said. BB battles were a thing of the past by the time it was launched.

[@hmk5123]

The Yamato was like a perfectly forged katana in the 20th century; it was the perfectly crafted weapon in the wrong era of war.

[@thundercactus]

I'm not sure that's fair. Yamato was launched in August of 1940, it was a product of the mid 30s. The Battle of Taranto was in Nov of 1940, the first all aircraft ship to ship attack in history, which was an incredible success and is arguably the battle that made the allies realize the potential of air power at sea. Prior to this, aircraft carriers were largely seen as support ships, not something that could actually take out a fleet (albeit it these were in port). Bismarck was sunk in May 1941, famously crippled by carrier aircraft, allowing it to be easily hunted down, once again proving air power at sea was a valuable asset. Pearl Harbour was THE global defining moment for carrier based operations, and that wasn't until Dec 1941. Now while all the fleet carriers the IJN used in Pearl Harbour were actually launched BEFORE Yamato, what's important to remember is that they really had very little idea of how effective carriers were going to be at the time. The D3A Val dive bombers, and B5N Kates were only just making their first flights as prototypes as Yamato's keel was being laid. And the famous A6M Zero wasn't in service until a month before Yamato was launched. So if you consider what naval power looked like in the 1930s when Yamato's plans were being drawn up, battleships were still very much the dominant force in naval warfare. It's more accurate to say the Yamato and Iowa classes of battleships came in around very end of the battleship era. Some battleship had to be the last class to be built before they went obsolete. And while carriers had been around since the 20s, it was until the 40s that their dominance was achieved (or maybe, ABLE to be achieved)

[@hmk5123]

@thundercactus by the time it was launched, it arguably already was obsolete.

[@thundercactus]

​@@hmk5123 arguable only in retrospect. If you consider the information they had at the time, it made perfect sense. And you can see their thinking change as the carrier battles proved the carrier was the future, because the nations who could still build NEW battleships post 1942 cancelled the designs. For example, the Montana class was planned as early as 1939, and ordered, by chance the shipyards to build them were too busy with Iowa and Essex. The keels were to be laid down in mid 1942, but by June (Battle of Midway) it was clear that battleships were obsolete, and the class was cancelled entirely. The British King George V battleships were completed, as the last one had its keel laid in 1941 and was completed 1946. The succeeding Lion class had their keels laid and were in construction, but were scrapped in 1942. The IJN Yamato class had 2 ships completed by the end of 1940, and taking 3yrs to build, Shinano would have been only half complete by the time of the Pearl Harbour attack. Consequently, construction was then paused because only by then was it apparent that battleships were a questionable investment. And the conversion was only begun the following year in July of 1942, after the battle of Midway where they lost 4 carriers. Every nation basically just finished the battleships they had in construction from 1939-1941, but no new battleships were built AFTER it became apparent that naval air power was the future. Given the state of Naval warfare in 1935-1939 (when the last lines of battleships were being designed and approved by govts), a proposal to shift the navy to a carrier based fighting force with no battleships would have sounded absolutely insane. Japan was actually a rare exception to focus on carriers early on, but carriers made a lot of sense for what they were trying to accomplish in the pacific.

[@ajalvarez3111]

@@thundercactus I would add to your answer the following: Both Yamato and Musashi took incredible punishment to sink. It literally took hundreds of planes hours to do the job. In Yamato's case, the US sent over 400 planes to sink her...and it took hours. How many navies, at the time, could bring to bear that many resources. No battleships, in the entire war, were ever sunk by aircraft, if they had aircraft cover. The only battleships sunk by air power were resting in port (in America's case, the US wasn't even at war) or not utilizing combined arms tactics (looking at you PoW and Repulse).

[@stunick1573]

@@ajalvarez3111 Couldn't agree more with this, if battleships were all ready obsolete why did it take 400 plus attack aircraft several hours to push this brute into the sea floor. She was an immense threat and to pawn her off as obsolete is lazy Monday morning quarter backing. Imagine if this was any other Navy going up against this monster Battlewagon or the American Navy During Coral Sea actions with only the Big E, Saratoga and or Wasp or Hornet as at Midway. People forget that American and British forces had between them 40 aircraft carriers of assorted size and function. Yamato was swimming up stream into the hornets nest without any of her own hornets. Conversely America was fielding the latest Hellcats and Corsairs with the improved dive bombers and torpedo planes with better torpedo's and all the lessons learned and put into action from the three and a half long years of fighting in open Pacific waters. Ito knew it was fruitless, but due to the the "living embodiment of God" Emperor wanting it done, he relented. Imagine if he had timed it better and came on the downward leg at night, steaming at 22 kts or 27 which she was capable of. Reaching Okinawa at morning. That all ready Obsolete battlewagon would have pounded the snot out of the American ground forces. Pretty much the same mission as the earlier one to the beach heads in the Philippines but with way less ships.

[@xxnightdriverxx9576]

the armor quality was around the same quality as British WW1 era armor (being based on it), so yes it was low quality for the time it was build. HOWEVER, the difference was rather small. The British Royal Navy estimated that their WW2 era armor steel was around 15-20% stronger than their WW1 era armor steel. Historians all agree that British and German (pre war) armor steel was the best worldwide. So Yamatos armor quality might be lacking 15-20% behind other nations, but does that matter when you have a 25% thicker belt and a 33-45% thicker deck?

[@xxnightdriverxx9576]

@@LILKRANKIN The Iowas guns had around the same penetration as Yamatos guns against vertical armor (so side armor belts), however Yamatos guns had a little bit better penetration against horizontal armor (armor decks). The reason for that is simple: 45cal length vs 50 cal length. Iowas shells have a flatter angle at impact, making them worse at deck penetration, but better at side penetration. However, they also have a lower mass, which negatively impacts penetration. In the end it doesnt really matter, both gun types are among the guns with the highest armor penetration of the war.

Google fait des milliards de profits, et sollicite les gueux pour une œuvre humanitaire, comme c'est charmant. Et les gueux mettent la main au porte monnaie.

The lack of research into the pronounciation of basic terms and names made this video very difficult to watch.

358 American planes attacked yamato

[@Meatwadsan]

Not directly though. Only about 1/3 targeted Yamato, while the rest attacked the escorts. About half of the total aircraft were also only fighters.

I'm sorry but your continued mispronunciation of both place names and people's names makes it impossible to listen to your narration. And not only Japanese names, but English names as well. This makes it seem as though you may have at best a passing familiarity with the subject. It's too bad, because your video, animation, and editing skills seem quite good.

YAMATO WAS THE IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY'S DEATH STAR...

[@h.n.t.d7963]

Except it was useless🤣

[@NEOSCISSORSJAGUARPRIME]

@@h.n.t.d7963 YES, AS GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN POINTED OUT, THE DEATH STAR IS EXPENSIVE, HARD TO DEFEND , AND ITS RESOURCES SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER SUITED TO A FLEET OF STAR DESTROYERS ; THE SAME PROBLEMS FOR THE YAMATO AND MUSASHI IN CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE LIKE FUEL, PLUS A NUMBER OF HITS AND THEY WOULD BE SUNK

[@YamatoForever]

Evil Japanese, my grandpa’s brother got kill in 1945 in outskirts of Beijing by Japanese soldiers. With no reason, just because he was walking away from Japanese troops.
