What was the name of the biggest Japanese battleship?
That was IJN Shinano, at 72,000 tons she was much bigger than any other carrier. She was originally designed as a battleship of the same class as IJN Yamato but was converted from 1942-44 to be a support carrier for supplying and repairing aircraft from other ships although able to carry her own fighters for defence. The Shinano was torpedoed and sunk by USS Archerfish on 29 November 1944 as she was being moved to a safer port to finish her fitting out.
What was the name of the suicide kamikaze battleship sent on the7th April 1945 to attack the American fleet?
The Japanese Navy figured it was better for the battleship Yamato to go down fighting; rather than being ingloriously sunk at her moorings.
Which World War 2 ship is better Yamato or Iowa?
The US Iowa class battleships were, and remain, among the finest battleships ever built. But in a ship-to-ship confrontation, if such a thing had ever taken place, the edge would have to go to Yamato. The Yamato and its sister the Musashi were the largest battleships ever built, displacing almost 50% more than the Iowas. The Japanese super battleships also mounted the largest main battery ever afloat, with 18.1 inch main guns. No other ships were ever built with guns larger than those of the Iowas, which were 16 inch/50 caliber. Each of the Iowa's armor piercing shells weighed 2700 pounds, while those of Yamato and Musashi weighed 3200. The Japanese ships had thicker armor and comparable speed. In any head-to-head contest the weight of broadside and armor thickness would likely have been decisive.
Why were aircraft carries more important than battleships in war in the pacific?
Because a properly organised Carrier Air Group has more firepower than a battleship, and can reach further.
Was Okinawa invasion bigger than Normandy?
Yes, by 20,000 men.
Why couldn't the US make a battleship better than the Yatamoto?
The Yamato-class battleships were bigger and more heavily armed than any battleship in the US Navy. The US focused more on aircraft carriers and submarines for naval warfare, as they were seen as more effective in the changing dynamics of naval combat during World War II. Additionally, the construction of such large battleships was costly and resource-intensive, which may have influenced the US decision-making.

Was the Montana Class Battleship bigger than the Yamoto?
The Montana Class Battleship was never built, hower it varied with the Yamato on paper by being of about the same tonnage, almost 100 feet longer with more (12) vs (9) but smaller 16 in vs 18 inch guns. The Yamato had a larger crew, heavier secondary batteries and heavier Armor and a seven floatplane air division. Longer, yes, and a lovely ship. The Yamato had bigger guns, but Montana had fire control radar making her much more accurate as well as 3 more guns. Edge Montana by a long way.
What was the Japanese best battleship?
IJN Yamato & her sister Musashi. A third super battleship was planned, but was converted to an aircraft carrier. Yamato & Musashi both carried nine 18" rifles. The largest US Battleships carried 16" rifles, and the British and German Battlewagons mounted 14' and 15" guns respectively. The third battleship, converted to an aircraft carrier was the Shinano. There was a fourth battleship, dismantled in 1942 and used to build light aircraft carriers after the battle of Midway. These ships were the largest battleships built by Japan or anyone else, but they may not have been the best. Their 18" guns had slightly greater range and shell weight than the US 16" guns, but fire control was vastly inferior. The Yamatos were built like an armored raft with a bow and stern attached. Otherwise they would have been too heavy to float. The center part of these ships was well-protected, but the fore and aft ends were vulnerable. The US planned to build similar Montana-class battleships to fight the Yamatos but cancelled them in favor of more aircraft carriers and escort vessels
Who would win the USS Enterprise or the Yamato?
The outcome of a hypothetical battle between the USS Enterprise and the Yamato is highly subjective and depends on numerous factors such as crew skills, tactical maneuvers, and technological advancements. Both vessels were formidable in their respective universes, with the Enterprise being from Star Trek and the Yamato from Space Battleship Yamato. It is best to enjoy the strengths and stories of each spaceship in their own context rather than trying to determine a winner.

How can you tell if a flag you have is from the battleship Graf Spre?
Cloth flags are easy to fake. Graf Spee was a battlecruiser with 11 inch guns, and NOT A BATTLESHIP. Even the old Russian battleships from the Tsushima battle in 1905 had bigger guns than Graf Spee, they had 12 inch guns, and "they" were 30 years old when Graf Spee was built!
