Note: The displacement or displacement tonnage of a ship is its weight based on the amount of water its hull displaces at varying loads and should not be confused with measurements of volume or capacity typically used for commercial vessels, such as net tonnage, gross tonnage, or deadweight tonnage.

The Yamato (大和) is a warship that was used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Yamato and its sister ship Musashi are the heaviest warships built (71,659 tons at full capacity). Its main weapon, the 46 cm Type 94 cannon, is the largest weapon ever mounted on a warship. However, despite being so powerful, neither ship survived the war. It was attacked by American planes and badly damaged.

[@wraith_1367]

“Badly damaged” is an understatement, one of it’s ammunition magazines fucking exploded knocking several Americans out the sky

[@xpusostomos]

aka Gerald R Ford and John F Kennedy Carriers.

[@theawickward2255]

Note: The class was originally supposed to consist of 5 ships, but only three ended up built: Yamato, Musashi, and Shinano. All three saw little action despite their size and power, due to high resource consumption and the high command wanting to hold them back for a massive, decisive fleet action (that never really came). Yamato was the only one to fire its guns in anger and sink enemy combatants, during the Battle Off Samar. She is credited with sinking the escort carrier Gambier Bay and the destroyers Johnston and Hoel, plus a hit on CVE White Plains, largely because she had the only radar set in the entire fleet. However, Admiral Kurita ordered his fleet to retreat as he believed he was facing the main US fleet. Yamato's only action after this would be operation Ten-Go, where she was sent to beach herself and act as an artillery battery in defense of Okinawa. On the way there, it was attacked by American aircraft and sunk. Musashi was sunk in the battle of the Sibuyan Sea (another part of the Leyte Gulf fights, the day before the Battle Off Samar), likewise by American aircraft. But since she was attacked on all sides and settled instead of capsizing, it took a lot more to take her down- American estimates were 17 bomb hits and 19 torpedoes. Shinano was never completed as a battleship, instead being put to sea as a support carrier. Unfortunately, right after she was launched, the American submarine Archerfish spotted her and hit her with four torpedoes. Due to poor damage control and incomplete watertight sealing, she capsized soon after, gaining the dubious honor of being the largest ship ever sunk by a submarine.

[@user-jk9dp6cj6o]

Yamato sank in a special attack operation. At that time, Yamato's main gun did not shoot in a terrible fog.

[@travissmith5945]

Yamato is the largest, because it's the heaviest via tonnage, notice it's width compared to the Stalingrad. The Yamato also had the largest calibre guns ever fittest to a warship. There has never been a warship larger than the Yamato, and that includes even modern ships. Japan BTW also built the largest ever non-combat ship as well, the largest ship ever made in human history is a giant oil tanker known as the Seawise Giant, built by Sumitomo Heavy Industries, it was 458 metres long and was also the heaviest ship ever in history at 657,000 tons. The Seawise Giant was made by Japan and sold to a foreign country to be used as an oil tanker, it's fate is that Iran bombed it.

Extremely big error 0:35 Do you think that the Henri IV, with this design can be from 1899? You have many designs from 1800's, look at the differences. The Henri IV from 1899 is a battleship. The henri IV you show here, is a french cruiser that was never built. EDIT: concerning the Bismarck and Richelieu, you're using the maximum weight possible, not the "normal" weight, for the bismarck you added 10K tons and around 8K for the Richelieu, and you added 5K tons to the Dunkerque. -You compared also the Alsace, Alsace which is lighter than the Richelieu in your video while in reality, the Alsace was supposed to "replace" the Richelieu, to be heavier due to the fact the it was supposed to carry one more 380 Quad turret, also supposed to be longer and larger, carrying more AA and secondary guns.

Many people think about the Yamato most are likely think about wars and super big cannon but the ship herself was actually a super hotel that float on water.

But the war grew harsh and the ship herself must go she need to be and "faithfully" sank.

The thing thats crazy to think about is that the HMS Hood was bigger than the Bismark but the bismark has such thick armor and big guns it sunk the Hood in like 30 minutes. Allow me to amend, It took less than 10 minutes from the first shell fired to the sinking of the Hood. Once the British opened fire on the Germans, The Germans in retalliation fired back and with a lucky hit exploded the ammunition magazines and exploded the ship. So after the explosion the ship sank in 3 minutes and only 3 of the 1400 man crew survived

That Statement is falls the Hood was Longer not Bigger.

[@confusedturtle2275]

The hood had the same amount and as big guns as the bismarck. As a matter of fact the armour protection on the two ships were very similiar, almost the same belt thickness.

[@pickleballer1729]

Cool! Make some more of these. For me, comparing battleships to aircraft carriers to cruiser would be informative.

The Amagi was started as a battlecruiser, as was a sister ship Akagi. After the Naval Arms Limitation Treaty in ~1924 both were partially complete, and ordered to be converted to aircraft carriers. Akagi was completed as a carrier and served in WWII, being sunk at the Battle of Midway. While under construction as a carrier, Amagi was severely damaged in an earthquake, and never completed. It was scrapped in the 1930s, so neither ship ever sailed as battlecruisers.

The Gneisenau never received her 15-inch gun batteries. She went into docks for a refit in 1943, and never got them. It was decided that it wouldn’t be worth it to rearm the ship. She only has the higher caliber guns in World of Warships.

Very nice! I was hoping to see a comparison with the HMS Vanguard (1946) and the USS Montana which would have been about 925 feet long vs the Iowa at 888. But you did set the parameters at built in the 20th century. The best book I have ever read on warships is "Castles of Steel" Author's name escapes me!

[@pepperVenge]

Fascinating video and well made! Couple mistakes, but no biggie. I will say that if this was an all inclusive warship comparison video, then other types of ships like the carrier, submarine's and destroyers should have been depicted as well. Further, it should be noted that the weight of a ship is what really determines its size, not its length (which is why the Titanic was considered the largest ship in the world in 1912 even though it had a sister ship, the Olympic, that was virtually identical, but Titanic was heavier then Olympic thus making it larger). That being said, the Japanese Yamato was the largest battleship in the world but at only 70,000 tons, it is not the largest warship in the world. That honor as of 2017 now goes to the USS Gerald R. Ford as it displaces more then 100,000 tons. If we're considering size by volume (length) as opposed to mass/density (weight) then that honor would go to the USS Enterprise CVN-65 at 1,123 feet long (342 meters). That's 17 feet, or roughly 5 meters longer then the Gerald R. Ford and is the longest and tallest warship ever built (Enterprise is 157 feet tall while Ford is only 150 feet tall).

You and Wargaming World of Warships went wrong with Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. They are equal ships, Gneisennau has also 9 x 28 cm guns and not 6 x 38 cm guns as shown. It was planned to equip both ships with 38 cm guns, but they were not available and later never realized. Bismarck had a size of 251 m, Tirpitz 254 m.

[@DeathsHood]

They didn't go wrong with either if them. They simply built them in-game as though the plans to upgrade their main batteries had been carried out.
