long live the glorious battleships!!



drw61 -> RE: for the JFBs and Yamato lovers (3/13/2009 3:15:02 PM)

Thanks Marky, I really like the second one.



51st Highland Div -> RE: for the JFBs and Yamato lovers (3/13/2009 3:17:07 PM)

Yeah i agree the second one is great..amazing to think these ships had been constructed in great secrecy in Japan considering the size of them...



marky -> RE: for the JFBs and Yamato lovers (3/13/2009 3:24:49 PM)

indeed, the great bamboo curtains. when they released pix of them to the public they were actually that of CA Tone IIRC

truly magnificent they were. of course the IJN never used them as they should have. imagine if Yamato and Musashi had met Ching Lee that night off Guadalcanal [X(]

or if the Iowas ever got to face em

man i woulda paid to see that

honestly though id put my $ on the Iowas in such a case



51st Highland Div -> RE: for the JFBs and Yamato lovers (3/13/2009 3:27:14 PM)

Think the Iowas would have dealt with them..but not easily.Safe to say USN Radar Fire Control (as off Guadalcanal) would have proved to be the decisive factor..although its a pity none of the Montana class got finished...would have loved to have seen them in action..[:D]

agreed, the Yamatos wouldve done some damage but i think they woulda lost due to USN damage and fire control

and Montanas wouldve been epic

IJN shouldve finished both Yamatos as super carriers though



Historiker -> RE: for the JFBs and Yamato lovers (3/13/2009 4:48:06 PM)

I guess you haven't hear about the 24 guns BB designs from the 20th? [;)]



John 3rd -> RE: for the JFBs and Yamato lovers (3/13/2009 6:19:04 PM)

Those are beautiful shots.  Thanks for posting them and their sites to look at.




Sarganto -> RE: for the JFBs and Yamato lovers (3/14/2009 1:42:49 AM)

Sadly, they all are too small and have a bad resolution. Seeing pixels everywhere, when using them as desktop background :(

hahaha i saw that and i was lmao, good picture though. Japanese ships always had such gorgeous lines and designs didnt they



SierraJuliet -> RE: for the JFBs and Yamato lovers (3/14/2009 5:26:08 AM)

I have a book of pure fiction called The Iron Man which says in the blurb, "All but one of the battleships in this novel are real... The Stalin is fiction but is based on the specifications of Yamato and then 'stretched'." 22 inch guns on this monster. Here is a short except.

Stalin's huge shells, each one carrying nearly four tons of high explosive, had an effect over a much wider area. The Missouri was first to feel their awesome power. None of the Stalin's shells actually hit the ship, but all six landed close by and the shock waves from the underwater blasts threw the whole crew off their feet. Even a ship the size of Missouri reacted to the detonations as though it was a piece of rag in the jaws of a small dog, being shaken from side to side.

The battle continues with Missouri and Iowa versus the Stalin (super Yamato). The book was written by John Watson and publised by Warner Books 1998.

sounds like good readin!



SierraJuliet -> RE: for the JFBs and Yamato lovers (3/14/2009 5:37:29 AM)

I found it just after it was published and recall zipping through it.  The climactic battle scene was after all the reason for reading it.



marky -> RE: for the JFBs and Yamato lovers (3/14/2009 5:38:42 AM)

such a gorgeous battlewagon. shame she had to go to the bottom [:(]



John 3rd -> RE: for the JFBs and Yamato lovers (3/14/2009 6:04:26 AM)

Is that the actual bow of the Yamato?  I have never seen pictures of her on the bottom.  Looks like she is listing heavily to Starboard.
