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.
Battleship Yamato, sister battleships: Shinano and Musashi. 1. Armed with nine 18 inch guns. 2. Displaced 70,000 tons. 3. Shinano CONVERTED to an aircraft carrier, sunk by a US submarine. 4.

Battleship Yamato.

There were to be 3 super battleships built in Japan during WW2; Yamato, Musashi, and the Shinino. After the Battle of Midway aircrew losses, the Imperial Navy decided they needed more carriers and NOT more battleships, consequently, they converted the last of the YAMATO class battleships into an aircraft carrier. The largest Aircraft Carrier of WW2, the IJN Shinino, which was built on a YAMATO battleship class hull, was sunk by a USN submarine.
The last big one was the Yamato during the Okinawa battle in April 1945.
The Japanese Navy figured it was better for the battleship Yamato to go down fighting; rather than being ingloriously sunk at her moorings.
The last navy ship sunk in World War II was the Japanese battleship Yamato. It was sunk on April 7, 1945, during Operation Ten-Go, a mission aimed at defending the Japanese home islands against the approaching Allied forces. The Yamato was heavily attacked by American aircraft and ultimately sank in the East China Sea, marking a significant moment in naval warfare history.
Besides being the largest carrier sunk by a sub, she is mostly famous for being the 3rd sister of the battleship Yamato class. There were supposed to be three Yamato's: Musashi, Shinano, and the Yamato. The battleship Shinano was quickly converted to a carrier to replace the Midway losses. Prior to the conversion, even in Japan, the battleship was considered the primary warship.
War time or peace time? In peace time, the major warships sunk in the ocean have been: 1. Battleship USS Oklahoma, sunk while under tow to California after WWII. 2. Battleship USS Arkansas, sunk by an Atomic Bomb, during testing in the Pacific in 1946. 3. Battleship USS Nevada, sunk for target practice in the Pacific. 4. Battleship USS Pennsylvania, sunk for target practice in the Pacific. 5. Battleship USS New York, sunk for target practice in the Pacific. Wartime, in the ocean: British Battleship HMS Prince of Wales was sunk by Japanese airplanes in the Pacific (South China Sea-part of the Pacific). Japanese Battleship IJN Yamato, sunk by US airplanes in the Pacific. German Battleship DKM Bismarck, sunk itself in the Atlantic.
Yamato is a small part of and island in Japan.
The Bismarck was a German Battleship active, and eventually sunk- in World War II. in a notable battle she took out the HMS Hood within a few minutes- the Hood was a Battle-cruiser, with limited Deck armor but big cannons. I can"t see any connection. Star Cruiser Yamato dealt with a ( Space-adapted) Battleship but that was Japanese. The Yamato ( roughly,l Patriot) was sunk at the second battle for Okinawa, really the most decisive engagement of the !Pacific War- Battleship Down
Yamato Inaba was born in 1943.
Yamato Museum was created in 2005.
