		By the time the Japanese had completed running the gauntlet posed by the American destroyers, the Yamashiro was broken in two, and the destroyers Asagumo, Yamagumo, and Mishishio were either adrift on their way to sinking or already sunk.

		Although Japanese actions would not have seemed out of place among European colonial powers in the 19th century, by 1930, notions of Wilsonian self-determination meant that raw military force in support of colonialism was no longer seen as appropriate behavior by the international community.
		The Japanese found that its aggression against the retreating and regrouping Chinese army was stalled by the mountainous terrain in southwestern China while the Communists organized widespread guerrilla and saboteur activities in eastern and central China behind the Japanese front line.
		Meanwhile, Japanese aircraft had all but eliminated Allied air power in South-East Asia and were making attacks on northern Australia, beginning with a disproportionately large and psychologically devastating attack on the city of Darwin on February 19, which killed at least 243 people.

		Yamashiro, force flagship, continued North up the straits until she was confronted by and literally blown apart by Admiral Oldendorf's battleline, comprised of five battleships, four of which had been at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, as well as numerous cruisers.

	Japanese battleship Fuso Information
		Her 14 inch (360 mm) main gun turrets were placed in an unorthodox 2-1-1-2 style (with her sister ship Yamashiro having her third turret reversed when compared to Fuso) and with a funnel separating the middle turret placement.
		Yamashiro, having seen her crippled sister withdraw, elected to press on and steamed straight towards the American battle-line, which (having thereby "crossed her T") then pounded Yamashiro to ruin in less than thirty minutes.
		Yamashiro's shelled wreck drifted for some time, and was eventually sunk by torpedoes from a US destroyer, with few survivors.

	Sailors of the Battleship Navy
		Battleships were the main targets for the Japanese on the day that the war started for the United States.
		Battleships performed a variety of missions in World War II, most notably providing antiaircraft protection in fast-carrier task groups and bombarding enemy-held beaches in connection with amphibious landings.
		The four battleships were prohibited for a time from shooting their 16-inch guns until the cause could be found.

	Japanese Battleships
		The Fuso class battleships were characterized by their tall superstructures. Although they were more heavily armed and faster than most foreign battleships of the time, they lacked much in armor. These ships were already out dated by World War II and were easily sunk by US naval Forces.
		The Nagato class of battleships not only was the first Japanese battleships to sport the 16” guns, but also the first in the world to have them. She was also faster and bettered armored than most her counterparts of the day.
		The fourth Yamato class of battleship was laid 7 November 1940. However, it was cancelled in 1942 and scrapped in 1943.

	USS Robinson
		Oldendorf’s bombardment group, including 6 battleships, 8 cruisers, and 21 destroyers, augmented with 39 PT boats and 7 destroyers of other commands, was shifted south and arrayed along the shores or across the northern mouth of Surigao Strait.
		The battleships were placed in an east-west line perpendicular to the channel defined by the strait, thus "crossing the T" of the expected line of advance of the Japanese.
		The Japanese Fifth fleet, under V.Adm. Shima, consisting of 2 heavy and 1 light cruisers, and 4 destroyers, was sent south from Coron Bay, Calamians, to "cooperate" with Nishimura in his attack from the south.

		battleships, one cruiser and four destroyers, followed but unsupported by three more cruisers and four more destroyers, passed PT boat pickets without damage and entered Surigao Strait from the south.
		Tracking them and waiting in ambush were six battleships, eight cruisers and 26 destroyers of Adm. Kinkaid’s Seventh Fleet.

	USS Newcomb — Nate Cook
		In the Gulf proper, our battleships and cruisers were arranged in a battle line across the northern end of the Gulf, in this way they could bring all their guns to bear as the enemy steamed up the Strait.
		The Japanese apparently did not have "flashless powder" for their big guns, so the muzzle flashes were very bright.
		The Japanese in charge, Admiral Kurita, was so surprised by the ferocity of the attack that he thought he must have come upon Halsey’s powerful Third Fleet.

	USS Phoenix (CL-46) Information
		Langley was attacked and sunk by Japanese planes 27 February and Seawitch escaped the same fate only by being too slow to keep up with the carrier.
		The target later proved to be the Japanese battleship Yamashiro, which sank after 27 minutes of concentrated fire from the American fleet.
		Japanese aircraft attacked the other destroyers as they stood by the sinking ship, but Phoenix shot down one of the raiders.

	The Battleship Kongo
		The Japanese battleship Kongô, a ship with a magical name and an important history, was budgeted in 1910 and ordered from the British shipbuilder Vickers in January 1911.
		Battleships had always required masts for spotting, range finding, and fire control, but the need for height increased as possible ranges of targets increased and eyeballing was replaced by heavy optical equipment.
		Victory was no foregone conclusion, since these six Japanese battleships (with an ex-Chinese one thrown in), did not outnumber the Russian squadron in Port Arthur.

	Japanese Battleships (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Japanese Navy had a tradition of producing innovative battleship designs which were the equal, or better, of many of their foreign contemporaries.
		When Nagato was commisioned in 920, she was probably the most powerful battlewagon then afloat, with her very powerful 16-inch armament, good protection, and very respectable speed.
		Japan's older capital ships, too, had been extensively modernized during the interwar period, and all of them (with the possible exception of Fuso and Yamashiro, due to their age and low speeds) were capable of being used in the front lines of a modern naval war.

		Boiler #1 was steaming for auxillary purposes....This ship was the flagship of Commander Battleship Division Two....the USS Arizona was moored about 75 yards ahead and astern of the Tennessee.
		At about 7:55, planes, observed to be Japanese by their markings, were seen dropping bombs on Ford Island.
		The USS Tennessee would go on to participate in the last battleship to battleship engagement the world would ever see in the Suragio Straight, helped sink the Japanese Battleship Yamashiro and survived Kamakazie attacks.

	Imperial Japanese Navy Battleships
		While the Japanese may have complained the loudest about the battleship "ratio" (for every 5 RN and 5 USN battleships, the IJN got 3) in the Treaty, France and Italy may have had more to complain about.
		On those occasions when Japanese battleships and battlecruisers were used, they were not terribly effective.
		Yamashiro was probably sunk by gunfire from US battleships USS Mississippi (BB-41), USS Tennessee (BB-43), USS California (BB-44), USS Maryland (BB-46), and USS West Virginia (BB-48).
