Description
In the hall of fame of capital ships, the battleships "Yamato" and "Musashi" and the aircraft carrier "Shinano" occupy a special place. Because of their strength, size and appearance, there are few other ships in this category that attract so much interest and fascination. The three ships of the "Yamato" class were dedicated to combat on the water, with the task of outperforming all existing or future battleships. They were to shift the balance of power in the Pacific in Japan's favour. Admiral Yamamoto himself regarded these giants of the seas as "the pinnacles of madness", and their short operational careers show the extent to which their respective fates were tragedies. "Éditions Caraktère" are very proud to present the reader with a complete book on the "Yamato" class. The author traces the construction, technical characteristics and careers of the three ships of the "Yamato" class in three major sections.
In doing so, he explains the background and construction history of "Yamato", "Musashi" and "Shinano", describes the challenges in building the three "fat ships", highlights their specific features and draws attention to their advantages and shortcomings. The book is illustrated with a large number of contemporary bw-photos, approx. 50 coloured three-dimensional views with overall and detailed illustrations of the ships as well as some coloured maps tracing the operational routes of the battleships and the aircraft carrier respectively.
