Battleship Yamato |
 | | Yamato was bombed in her bow area and took on 3000 tons of water, but survived the battle. |
| | Yamato was in serious trouble after 5-6 torpedo strikes, by the time the third wave was about to pounce on her, her list had already started to rise again. |
| | YAMATO also fired an air burst/flak type of shell from her main 18.1inch guns called 'san shiki' when detonated they released thousands of steel balls all over the immediate area, this though was not effective because her main turrets had such a slow training speed, as did her heavy 5 inch dual purpose AAA. |
