It was destroyed during World War 2. Some people call that battle "Japan's Last Stand". 400 aircraft participated. an estimated 200- 300 warships also fought. The aircraft dropped the drop- bombers (soldiers who were holding a bomb and simultaneously skydiving). The drop- bombers dropped their bombs. The bombs destroyed the first deck. The Yamato was super- strong, but only against ships. It was useless against aircraft. So, after the first deck was destroyed, the Yamato targeted the closest warship, at 320 kilometers away. At that point, all the ships opened fire. They used torpedoes instead of actual guns. The torpedoes destroyed all the remaining decks. The Yamato split in two, much like the Titanic. Out of the 3,216 shipmates aboard the Titanic, only 216 shipmates (.67%) survived.
