ANATOMY OF SHIP BATTLESHIP YAMATO

With the greatest displacement, biggest guns and heaviest armour, "Yamato" and her sister "Musashi" were the ultimate battleships. Everything about them was gigantic - each main armament turret, for example, had a total revolving weight of over 2500 tones - and they proved formidable opponents to the US Pacific Fleet. The author has assembled a portfolio of drawings, and the photographic section includes some very rare on-board views. This contribution to the "Conway's Anatomy of the Ship" series features over twice as many detailed drawings as a standard volume.

Collectability score

An astonishing tour de force of technical drafting and maritime anatomy, detailing the legendary warship through hundreds of obsessive line drawings.
