  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.
