Arii 1/250 Japanese Navy Battleship Yamato. MA Senkan Yamato
[Product Introduction]
Arii 1/250 Japanese Navy Battleship Yamato. This is a large plastic model with a total length of over 1 meter that is suitable for expressing the brave figure of the battleship Yamato. Construction of the battleship Yamato began in Kure in 1933. It was handed over to the Navy in December 1942 and organized into the 1st Squadron. The battleship Nagato, which had previously served as the flagship, will now serve as the flagship under Commander-in-Chief Isoroku Yamamoto. The Pacific War began, and starting with the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan quickly invaded and occupied various areas. However, Yamato did not see action until the Battle of Midway in June 1945. Although she made a sortie at the Battle of Midway, she returned to Katsura Island without firing her main gun. In 1945, she handed over her position as flagship to her sister ship, Musashi. In June 1944, she fired her main gun at an enemy fighter during the Battle of the Marianas. At this time, Yamato's main gun roared for the first time. Although Yamato put up a good fight in the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1945, she lost many of her main battleships, including Musashi, and the combined fleet was virtually destroyed. After a tough battle in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Japan launched a special kamikaze attack force. Yamato then returned to Japan, but in April 1945 she sortied into Okinawa. At this time, it was clear that the battle situation would be advantageous to those who controlled the skies, but they decided to take a desperate tactic and form a special attack unit and launch a sortie. On April 7, 1945, she was attacked by nearly 400 American carrier-based aircraft in waves off the coast of Cape Bono, Kyushu, and was hit by more than 20 torpedoes and bombs, and sank at 2:23 p.m. There were about 3,000 crew members, but about 2,500 of them were killed in battle along with Yamato. Yamato's main guns never roared in the final battle.
