At the Yamato Museum in Kure and the Iron Whale Museum right next to it
went. The size of the battleship Yamato, which is one tenth of the actual size,
was impressive.
The Iron Whale Museum is equipped with a real submarine Akishio.

I've been there. We were visiting Hiroshima when we saw billboards for the Yamato museum in Kure, so we decided to take a trip down there. I thought that it was interesting that the Japanese would build a museum for a ship that the US Navy sunk in World War II. Too bad the video didn't show the placards for the anime Space Battleship Yamato that were just outside the entrance to the museum.

Both are beautiful museums, with a very friendly staff. I visited both, stayed in a fantastic hotel (Kure Hankyou ) , very close to both museums. The submarine was hoisted up there with giant cranes, they sell postcards with penndrawings on how it was done. I was there before C-19 hit. The Yamato museum has an entrance fee, the navy museum is free. And if you want to walk through Kure, its a beautiful town, (you can also visit the former IJN Navy commanders house, also a museum ), but it is very hilly. Since I'm from the Netherlands, the flat northern part, and not as fit as I thought I was, it's quite a tour. But well worth it. And you can take a very nice ferrytrip to Hiroshima, if you don't want to take the train.

Not mentioned or shown: The breakwater behind the museum, that has a 1:1 scale outline of the Yamato class from bow to approx the conning tower. Gives a true idea of the size of these ships. No pics of the drydock Yamato was built in. (If it still exists) My personal "fantasy" artifact (ignoring "war grave" and cost/difficulty issues): one of the 18 inch guns, or better still......an entire turret. Both could be recovered without disturbing the main hull. And on a unrelated subject: you can't tell the story of the Pacific War (especially the "ran wild" year of 1942, without the "Val" and "Kate". NO restored originals. There should be (at minimum) a pair in Japan, and a pair at the Naval Aviation museum in Pensacola, IMO. (If I win a gazillion bucks in a lottery, that project is on my bucket list)

The key didentifying feature of an IJN battleship was the 'pagoda' control tower....The builders sought to give farther optical sighting. The rangefinder on Yamato was 15 meters across and could track out to 40,000 yards according to my Osprey source.

Very good video, but filming is not allowed inside the submarine. There are many exhibits in military museums that cannot be filmed for reasons of personal information, copyright, confidentiality, etc. The same applies to visits to active naval vessels. You should understand that uploading videos without consideration will lead to stricter regulations, which will cause problems for future visitors.

Visited Pearl Harbour a good few years back and it was also very interesting. Went up onto Missouri and the sheer scale of a battleship is just mind boggling, and Yamato was even a bit bigger then that. Equally as interesting was the one in London, albeit for slightly different reasons.

American battleships were limited in size by the Panama Canal. IJN battleships were not so limited. And the IJN strategy around the "decisive battle" and treaty limitations lead to the Japanese penchant for really big and powerful behemoths like Yamato.....

But American battleships had advanced radar and fire control systems meaning that they can easily fight at night and with better accuracy. Plus the AA would be more accurate than any Japanese AA. During operation Ten Go, only 10 aircraft were shot down out of the hundreds sent.

@@michaelusswisconsin6002 In the opening months of the Pacitic war, most American naval commanders were in ignorance of the capabilities of radar, because of the secrecy around it, and so failed to properly utilize it. 'Admiral Norman Scott should have annihilated a Japanese task force who were re-supplying Guadalcanal. Despite the early warning provided by USS Helena and crossing the T of the Japanese, the battle turned into a melee and the Japanese survived to fight another battle. This was in October of 1942

@iatsd Жыл бұрын

@@michaelusswisconsin6002 Depends on the time period. American ships were only just getting radar - and only for main guns - in 1941. Before 1943 most American ships weren't practiced at night fighting and/or radar gunnery. The Japanese navy was more adept at fighting at night up until then. Late war, even the Americans weren't using radar control for most of their AA guns on ships. Where they did better than the Japanese was by using a sector format for AA work, whereby the guns would fire in groups and were assigned sectors by the gunnery controllers. They didn't fvck about trying to engage individual aircraft. They simply fired set patterns into the sectors they were told to. It was more efficient for defensive fire against mass attack. The Japanese, in contrast, never moved away from AA batteries trying to engage area groups and range and individual targets in close. It simply didn't work in practice against mass attacks.

@@travissmith5945 Only for the Iowas, and also the North Carolinas, and the South Dakotas... So every new built battleship produced by the US. Montana was not built as opposition to Yamato. It was to be built as opposition to US 16inch super heavy shells. Doctrine was to provide sufficient defense to provide an immune zone to the ships own class of fire. Iowas spent displacement on speed. Montana was going to spend displacement for additional turret and protection against its own shells. The US was unaware of the scale of Yamato or the existence of the 18inch guns.

Was für ein Bullshit. Natürlich gibt es so etwas in Deutschland, es gibt unzählige Militär Museen mit Fokus auf den 2. Weltkrieg wo erstaunliche Maschinen des 3. Reichs und auch die Leben einzelner einflussreicher Militärfiguren aus jener Zeit dessen Namen nicht mit den Schandtaten des 3. Reichs in Verbindung stehen ausgestellt werden. Denn es ist nichts verwerflich daran diese Maschinen und in Teilen das Geschick, den Mut und die Willenskraft der Menschen aus diesem Krieg zu bewundern, ganz unabhängig davon ob diese Menschen im Sinne unserer heutigen Ideale und Werte gekämpft haben oder nicht. Außerdem kann man die Verantwortung für die grässlichen Vorstellungen der NS- Führung nicht blind Millionen von Individuen einfach aufbinden. Die Welt ist leider weitaus komplizierter. Trotzdem ist Aufklärung wichtig, etwas wofür man die Japaner in weiten Teilen zwar kritisieren kann, doch im Internationalen Kontext sind die genauso gut dran mit Aufklärung wie der Rest der Welt und zwar mit viel Platz nach oben. Die Amis, Briten oder Franzosen sind dort kein Stück besser, Deutschland ist da einer der wenigen die dort gute Arbeit leistet.
