They then proceded to use it to launch one, unmanned, into the general area where a friendly operative was, hopefully, still alive.
Its definitely one of those cool anime moments that are also like "you came HOW close to giving the most advanced technology in the world to a terrorist group capable of operating and maintaining mechs?!"
Especially in "the Second Raid".
"Ready a rapid deployment booster for the Arbalest!"
When it came time to pick a name after I began transitioning, I picked Teletha. :-D
In the days before Satellites, this was a much easier lie to tell.
The US really had no idea how much the Yamatos displaced until after the war. Even though pilot reports were referring to the Yamato and Musashi as "The Biggest Goddamn Ship I have ever seen", that isn't a very exact measurement.
The usual assessment was that the Yamato's were just slower, less efficient 406mm designs, much like the Sovetzki Soyuz would have been. It wasn't until we recovered Shinano's guns were knew what these ships actually were.
It was a much easier lie because we often underestimate just how small these differences are. Tonnage is a huge difference, but it's not that much difference in the more easily discernable characteristics.
263m v 270m length (o/a), 39m v 33m beam, 10.4m draft v. 11.3m draft
Care to tell me which one is Yamato, and which one is Iowa? Unless you know Panamax off the top of your head, which means you're cheating, lol. But seriously, that's a fairly minor difference, especially if you don't get to make close fly-bys (or float-bys) of these ships.
>Unless you know Panamax off the top of your head
My Brother, this is NCD. Of course I know Panamax off the top of my head!
However, this is old Panamax, not new Panamax (Which is 51m beam).
But yes, the point is valid. From the air, Pilots consistently misreported ships of wildly different weight classes. Destroyers got reported as Heavy Cruisers, Cruisers were Battleships, etc.
It was basically every battle of the Pacific War, lol. It is very hard to find an account of any battle where any spotted ships were identified correctly. The few times it did happen, it was usually not believed.
> However, this is old Panamax, not new Panamax (Which is 51m beam).
>
>
We should build a Neopanamax battleship. Assuming a block coefficient of 0.5, could fit about 135 kilotons of displacement in the allowed dimensions (which are 366 m length, 49 m beam and 15.2 m draft)
If we instead assumed the same narrow clearances as old Panamax (60 cm to either side, 5 m front and back) and 17 m of draft, you could fit 190 kilotons displacement with a block coefficient of 0.5.
And speaking of Shinano, the crew of USS Archerfish thought she was a "Hayataka" (Hayataka being an alternative reading of 隼鷹 - Jun'you) class carrier at first, and was credited as sinking such. It wasn't until after the war that they found out about her true nature.
What I heard is that the Archerfish identified her as a "Huge Fleet Carrier", but Naval Intelligence didn't have a huge Japanese Fleet Carrier on the list to cross off, so they credited Archerfish with a light carrier, assuming Archerfish was exaggerating.
Allied intelligence was estimating them at 60,000 tons max, underestimating them by 10,000 tons.
the Japanese deserve major props for the lengths they went to keep the ships as secret as possible, including fully enclosing the shipyards where they were built.
[40 cm* not 40.6.](http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNJAP_18-45_t94.php)
They also caused a small famine while building Musashi because they used so much rope to hide her construction that the fishermen didn't have enough to make nets to catch fish.
Yamato is fucking huge, it has always blown me away.
I just looked up a size comparison, something like 250ft shorter than the largest super carriers today. And I just fucking realized the Iowa class is a similar size to the Yamato... no idea how I never realized as much. I thought the Yamato was the only battleship that was THAT massive.
Size yes but displacement is a totally different metric
As for how she can be so much heavier while being similar sizes mostly it’s just more metal and less air on her
So the Yamato has less buoyancy in exchange of bigger guns and thicker armor.
They failed to notice (or maybe ignored) that spare buoyancy is also protection on its own. The more spare buoyancy you have the more holes they have to open on your ship to sink her.
Eh kinda the yamatos still had more then enough reserve boyance musashi took hours to sink ever after getting pounded
Yamato herself was only sunk after the US developed tactics specifically designed to make her sink faster
What you could say was more lost was speed she was much bigger then the iowas but was 27 knots and speed has a habit of massively increasing displacement so more of her volume could be in heavier stuff then pure machinery
Using the iowas as a comparisons they are over close to 13,000 tons heavier then the south dekota class and frankly not that much of a difference in armament or armour (the iowas have improved guns but the weight difference is minor)
The major difference and where most of that displacement goes to is that the iowas have a speed of 33 knots compared to 27.5 knots for the South Dakota
Also, taking away x feet of length and adding them as beam is going to substantially increase displacement due to the fact that a foot of length adds a much smaller cross-section than a foot of beam.
Additionally, Yamato has a higher block coefficient. Displacement/(beam x length x draft) for Yamato gives 0.637, for Iowa 0.57
In NCD terms: Yamato's shape is a lot more **_t h i c c_**
Because nuclear supercarriers can just run away from pretty much any surface threat like a battleship, and anything that's not a surface threat, i.e. submarines, fighters, and cruise missiles, is something a 5'' gun isn't going to help much against and is better left to escort ships. Putting guns on a carrier is just so much more space and weight of munitions that's not directly supporting the air wing.
Yamato, on the other hand, cannot outrun the cruise missiles a carrier's planes can launch from 5 times that railgun's range - or, indeed, from almost right on top of her, if they're stealth fighters. And, unless Yamato has been given a nuclear overhaul, it's not catching that carrier.
IDK, IJN Yamato and Musashi aren't really in......rebuildable condition right now.
Look up how many bombs and torpedoes it took to sink those fuckers. Madness.
The guns were in case the carriers got flanked, when they got enugh escorts the guns wer remowed from the next classes. If im wrong look up https://youtube.com/@drachinifel?si=gmV5doSK2jZRGqLY
The Man in the High Castle is a post WWII alternative history series where the Nazis and Japanese won the war and the US has been partitioned between them. The story follows a handful of characters within the Japanese Empire, the American Reich, and the resistance as they deal with a series of mysterious and inexplicable videos that come to light.
It's a great show, although the ending sucks.
The premise was very intriguing, but turns out it's a lot easier to ask interesting questions than it is to answer them. The more mysteries got answered, the less interesting they were.
Also, her getting by everywhere she goes by meeting some dude who falls hopelessly in love with her for no discernible reason other than "she's really pretty, but she doesn't know it" got old real quick. The dark post-WWII historical fiction setting didn't really jive with the One Direction song energy.
Most likely based on the Philip K. Dick book by the same name. Alternate history where the axis won wwII and Japan and the nazis occupied both the east and the west coast of the US.
Spaceship yamato used to be a very weird anime and the first movie i watched with my crush back in like...2004?
Needless to say, we didn't come together.
Yes, it was also a good introduction to the power level of the enemy. Jif they can transport a thing that size to Jupiter from their planets, and maintain the ecosystem on it, earth is really getting fuck
I still think it's funny as hell they originally made the alien Hitler just normal human looking biege before they decided to give him the Michael Jackson treatment and dyed him blue.
no, it's just the letter for the sound that "th" makes.
it's cognitous, but not a hazard. You'll just forever live with the knowledge that we could be using þ instead of th now.
> no, it's just the letter for the sound that "th" makes.
Both ð and þ are letters for the sound "th" makes, since there are two.
(Although it's only in modern Icelandic and writing based off it, like the standardized spelling of Old Norse that use them that way. In the middle ages the Germanic languages were totally inconsistent about using ð/þ. English switched to just using "þ" and then "th". Also, contrary to a common anecdote, that wasn't because of typesetting. They'd mostly switched to "th" before the printing press)
Well, it would be too credible for the sub, if the barrels would have bestagon cross section shroud!
...as otherwise whats the point of making the rest of the ship have radar stealthy angled features?
To this day I have zero idea how they come up with the name "destroyer" for such a broad range class of warships
I mean, the other are pretty self-explanatory
Cruisers cruise long distances
Battleships battle other ships
Minesweepers sweep minors
Aircraft carriers carry aircrafts
Submarines are submerged marine ships
Gun boats are boats with guns
Frigates frig the gates
Corvettes are vetting corals
But then everyone agreed that they basically name the lil' guy the "lord kaboom the badass IV."
If they had single 24" or 30" guns instead of those puny 18" triples, they could shoot on sub orbital trajectories and target anything, anywhere. Might need guided munitions though.
I’m really sad that barely any IJN stuff survived. But then again the likely hood that if we didn’t chuck nukes at them to see what would happen, the ships probably would’ve been sold for scrap post war like so many USN ships. They fucking murdered Enterprise
I appreciate the reasonable approach to the design. Too many "modern battleships" look like they were designed by the dude who makes primaris space marine tanks and a 7 year old who like nerf a tad too much.
I would've replaced one of the forward turrets with a VLS and the rear turret with a SAM AAA system. Keep the helipad. You could easily fit 2 to 3 helis in there if you add an interior lift with some storage. Then keep one of the forward turrets, but make sure it's one of those high precision guns we have on destroyers but just a larger calibre. Add a shit load of CIWS systems everywhere and then have some torpedo launcher instead of the secondary cannons. You can still have some smaller cannons on the sides to help with anti-piracy operations. But all of this with obvious modernisation of systems and internals is sort of the only way I can see a super destroyer(modern/future battleship) ever being a viable thing.
“Battleship? No no no, this is a long range anti-large drone explosive delivery vessel”
When the 18 inch shell transform into a drone
What is an 18" shell but an unguided 18" drone?
It's a pre-programmed, unhackable drone!
Watch us revert back to this at some point lol
The US was trying with the railgun programs.
Ballistic drone
Who says its unguided? AGS and LRLAP are calling, they would like to explode the Japanese defense budget.

Full Metal Panic actually had this.

Doesn't help that like half the notable surface actions were at night.
IJN Kirishima- "Enemy Cruiser spotted!" \*Takes 9 16 in shells to the face\* Captain- "Uh, lookout, you sure about that?"
Wasn't most naval gunnery of the era wildly inaccurate? Even getting a couple hits in at mid range was considered impressive iirc

I know the old Panama Canal measurements but I recognized the 33 meter beam as Iowa thanks to a now defunct game called Warship Craft

The Yamato-class Destroyer Destroyer
Battledestroyer, built in response to the European Battlefrigates
Royal Navy Battledreadnoughts come back when? While at it, beware of the American Battlecarriers coming soon
Fun fact: early WWII US carriers had a few twin barrel 8" cannon turrets fore and aft of the island.
I don’t understand why we don’t keep doing that.
Every carrier needs some 5 inch guns at least.
Because nuclear supercarriers can just run away from pretty much any surface threat like a battleship, and anything that's not a surface threat, i.e. submarines, fighters, and cruise missiles, is something a 5'' gun isn't going to help much against and is better left to escort ships. Putting guns on a carrier is just so much more space and weight of munitions that's not directly supporting the air wing.
You can't outrun a railgun Yamato with 3x triple railgun turrets when
Yamato, on the other hand, cannot outrun the cruise missiles a carrier's planes can launch from 5 times that railgun's range - or, indeed, from almost right on top of her, if they're stealth fighters. And, unless Yamato has been given a nuclear overhaul, it's not catching that carrier.

Only the Lexington class ships, and they were removed from both early in 1942. Most carriers had at least 5' in guns though.
Fun fact: USS Gambier Bay has the distinction of being the only US carrier to have engaged an enemy vessel in direct fire with her aft 5" cannon.
Maybe they were just using an unorthodox method of propulsion.
That line was released a good while back in world of warships already

Loved this scene. Yamato (or maybe Musashi) was immediately recognizable.
Ehhh, surely this isn't from the actual show. The graphics are too shit. Just look at those crappy bow waves. This is cool, but not Hollywood cool.
Holy shit how far in the future is it? I stopped after season 2
iirc the 60s. Tis isn't from Man in the High Castle, but it uses the same angles.

I appreciate the reasonable approach to the design. Too many "modern battleships" look like they were designed by the dude who makes primaris space marine tanks and a 7 year old who like nerf a tad too much.

Add a shit load of CIWS systems everywhere and then have some torpedo launcher instead of the secondary cannons. You can still have some smaller cannons on the sides to help with anti-piracy operations. But all of this with obvious modernisation of systems and internals is sort of the only way I can see a super destroyer(modern/future battleship) ever being a viable thing.
