The World Stunned by the True Extent of the Damage That Sank Japan's Battleship Yamato, According...
◆The World Was Astonished by the True Damage That Led to the Sinking of the Japanese Battleship Yamato, as Seen by the US! 《Japanese Firepower》
In April 1945, at the end of the Pacific War, the battleship Yamato was subjected to a wave of attacks from nearly 400 US aircraft carrier-based aircraft for about two hours.
It is believed that after being hit by 10-12 torpedoes and 3-5 bombs, it sank off the coast of Cape Bōno in Kyushu.
Considering the toughness of its sister ship, the battleship Musashi, which withstood US attacks in the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea,
it's hard to believe that it sank from just 10 torpedoes and 5 bombs.
In fact, observations of the sunken Yamato revealed several hit sites not mentioned in the battle reports.
Of course, regardless of the number of hits, it goes without saying that many men were wounded and killed on board,
and the scene on deck must have been hellish.
However, even after a fierce two-hour battle, wouldn't it be a little sad to think that the Yamato, a ship said to be unsinkable, sank after being hit by 10 torpedoes and 5 bombs?
Therefore, this time, we will explore the true extent of the damage that led to the sinking of the battleship Yamato, based on American reports.
