Yes, the battleship Yamato is larger than the battleship Musashi. Both were among the heaviest battleships ever built, but the Yamato has a standard displacement of about 65,000 tons, while Musashi's is approximately 72,000 tons. However, in terms of overall length, the Yamato is slightly longer at about 263 meters compared to Musashi's length of around 263 meters as well. Ultimately, they are similar in size, but the Musashi is technically larger in terms of displacement.

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 US didn't know about the Yamato, she was built in secret. The US did make battleships better than the Yamato; the Iowa class and the Washington class. The Yamato class was bigger, but not better. The Montana class battleships were planned to be comparable in size to the Yamato, but it was decided to build more aircraft carriers instead. The Yamato and Musashi were sunk by US aircraft carriers.

What is the biggest LEGO ship?
The world's biggest Lego ship is 23 feet long, bigger than three queen sized beds. Its name is Battleship Yamato and it took 6 years and 4 months to build.
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?
It depends. If the Enterprise is in the range of the Yamato and their guns, the Yamato would probably win or has a chance of winning. If the Enterprise is outside the range of the Yamato, the bombers and torpedo planes could destroy the Yamato like what actually happened and the. Therefore the Enterprise would win if they were out of the range of the Yamato and her guns.

What is the world's largest battleship?
The largest battleship in the world, in terms of weight and armament, is the Japanese Yamato class battleship. She was 263 metres long and had nine 18.1" (460 millimetre) main guns, along with six 157 millimetre (6.1 inch) guns and about 20 127mm (3.9 inch) DP guns. Her main guns were the largest naval rifles ever mounted on a warship, each weighing about 3000 tonnes, which is the size of an average WWII destroyer. The class displaced 72,800 tonnes, which made her twice the weight of any allied battleship.The reason for such a huge size is because during pre-war planning Japan figured out that they did not have enough resources to build a huge battleship armada against the US, so they saved their resources by building gigantic battleships that could take on multiple ships at once. They were designed with an armour belt that was 16 inches (406 millimetre) thick, which made them almost impervious to British battleships in a close range fight (British battleships use a light 15 inch shell), and can still withstand American shells. Five were laid down, three were built, one was converted to an aircraft carrier after the disastrous Battle of Midway, and the two others were scrapped after said battle.Yamato was sunk in 1945 by a massive wave of over 300 aircraft during Operation: Ten-Go,where she capsized and exploded. Her sister ship, Musashi, was sunk by aircraft in 1944 during the Battle of Sibuyan Sea, Shinano was turned into a large auxiliary carrier, in fact the largest aircraft carrier of WWII, but sunk by the submarine USS Archer-Fish, 10 days after her commisioning.The US were the only country that had a battleship which could match the Yamato's: The Iowa class. The Iowas were longer and had better fire control systems, but the obvioud disadvantage was the lighter armament which could potentially spell her doom if she had ever fought Yamato in combat. However, to battle this problem, the Americans developed a new shell, called the Mk II, that was excellent at piercing armour, enough so that "it is as good as, if not better, than, the Japanese 18.1" shell." The US were also planning the Montana class, which would have had Twelve 16"/50 MkII guns, but they were cancelled in favour of the Essex class carriers. If they had been completed, they would have been the "True" rivals of the Yamato class, as they were built for the purpose of rivalling the Japanese titans.
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!

Other than letters or numbers, most hobby shops use the term (printed on the can) "Battleship gray."
