The Day America Sank Japan's Mightiest Battleship in 5 Hours
The Day America Sank Japan's Mightiest Battleship in 5 Hours April 7, 1945. The Yamato is the most powerful battleship ever built. Guns large enough to hit a target 26 miles away. Armor thick enough to shrug off almost anything the war has produced. Japan sends her north toward Okinawa with one order: find the American fleet and fight until she sinks. She never gets close. American scouts find her within hours of leaving port. The first wave of aircraft arrives at 12:32. Then the second. Then the third. The Yamato shoots back with everything — her massive guns, her anti-aircraft batteries, everything she has. It makes no difference. By 14:23, less than two hours after the first bomb hits, she rolls onto her side. The forward magazine ignites. The explosion is heard 200 miles away. The mightiest warship Japan ever built lasts five hours against an enemy she was designed to destroy. 2,498 men go down with her. The Americans lose ten aircraft.
