The pictures of Musashi are of a diorama based on a 1:500 Nichimo model. Not the real thing, but well executed.

sounds like good readin!

Sounds like but isn't. The book was written by someone who doesn't know much about battleships except their technical data and their exterior views. It's about a super-battleship built by the Soviet Union under utmost secrecy and hidden near Vladivostok. Never scrapped but maintained in reserve status because it was the special toy of Stalin. A renegade ex-Soviet Navy captain with a crew of about 200 former Navy men steals it to do piracy on the High Seas. This is about as realistic as The Movie That Is Not Named In This Forum is a factually correct depiction of the P.H. attack.

I severely doubt that a crew of merely 200 could do much more with a Yamato-size battleship than just drive it around under power until they need to sleep, when there's nobody there to relieve them. 200 might also be just enough to man two of the main armament turrets. Anything else is pure fantasy.

There is a passage where the author describes the cavernous space where all the steam turbines are situated that drive the ship - apparently he had something like a power station in mind.

Those are marvelous pictures. Are Musashi's turrets actually in place? You don't see that often.

That the book is not up there on any list of popular books on naval warfare says it all. Like I said it was a work of pure fiction�. enough to get the imagination going. Someone decided to write a story where readers have the opportunity to imagine a couple of the Missouri class doing what they were built for.

hmm indeed. ironically if poor Halsey had stayed around San Bernadino straight he wouldve been able to fulfill a dream, and have a true slugfest

Yamato was there as well

now THAT wouldve been a fight to see!
