Super Yamato-class The Super Yamato was released as part of the Mustang unit pack released on July 1, 2009. Lol, that much is true. The super dreadnoughts are well armored, especially in the bow. Dunno which will make the game. It just smacks of the political maneuvering. Battleships: Axis and Neutral Battleships in World War II. Design A-150, also known as the Super Yamato class, was an Imperial Japanese plan for a class of battleships. She probably didn't have a name as she was only paper but I bet most weebs playing this game would love a ship called after the other representative of japan as Yamato already means something along the lines of: "land of the rising sun" if I'm not terribly mistaken, would be nice that her "big sister" was called that way but let's be honest: WG is never going to add A-150 or H-44 to the game.

Diese sollten über acht 51,0-cm-Geschütze in vier Zwillingstürmen verfügen und rund 100.000 t Verdrängung erreichen. Class overview Name: Design A-150 battleship Operators: Imperial Japanese Navy Preceded by: Yamato class Planned: 2 Completed: 0 Cancelled: 2 General characteristics Type: Battleship Displacement: Approximately 70,000 long tons (78,000 short tons; … The class carried the largest Due to the threat of American submarines and aircraft carriers, both After the end of the First World War, many navies—including those of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Imperial Japan—continued and expanded construction programs that had begun during the conflict. Two battleships of an entirely new, and larger, design were planned as a part of the 1942 fleet replenishment program. And it's not because I like or dislike the people whose names were chosen. However, they still would've been considered the greatest thing that they ever built from the standpoint of Japanese naval officers and doctrine.

Aufgrund des Kriegsverlaufes im Pazifikkrieg wurden die Planungen jedoch eingestellt und verworfen.

Auch deswegen hätte das Umrüsten der Yamato-Klasse auf die Zwillingstürme keine sonderlich großen Probleme verursachen dürfen. Going with Mikawa as my name suggestion,  be it for Super Yamato or perhaps a Yamato-class upgunned. Nicht nur das größere Geschossgewicht musste berücksichtigt werden.

So hoffte man auch aufgrund ihres Vorsprung in der Kalibergröße und einem starken Flottenausbau (bis 1950 Gesamtstärke von 19 Schlachtschiffe und sechs Schlachtkreuzer), die USA und Großbritannien so stark von einem Konflikt mit Japan abschrecken zu können, dass beiden Nationen schließlich Japan in Asien frei Hand einräumen würden, um einen Krieg zu vermeiden. Name was taken from old name of Nara-pref, and it is one of the another name of Japan. Yamato and even Musashi were chosen because they were 'historic' provinces and had a deep meaning to the Japanese.

They had virtually no useful AA, would have been shorter in length and much deeper in draft (and thus, slow and unmaneuverable, even by Yamato standards), with a very slow ROF on a ship that had a lack of guns and mediocre fire control, and (amazingly) with sub-par protection. The first proposed name for it was Mammut (mammoth in german) but eventually got changed to Maus. Wenn dies jedoch nicht gelungen wäre, hatte man sich damit trösten können, dass man bereits über Schiffe mit 51,0-cm-(20.1″)-Geschützen verfügte, während die USA noch an Schiffen mit 45,7-cm-(18″)-Geschützen arbeiteten. The enormous costs associated with these programs pressured their government leaders to begin a disarmament conference. "4 Carriers Sunk". Call it the IJN "Samurai"  what a more fitting tribute to the Japanese culture, history and still somewhat of a mystery even today. Johnston and McAuley, p. 123; each of the three main turrets weighed more than a good-sized destroyer.Yoshida and Minear, p. xvii; Evans and Peattie, p. 378Jentschura, Hansgeorg; Jung, Dieter; Mickel, Peter (1977).

Dies ist nicht weiter verwunderlich, da die fünf Schiffe der Yamato-Klasse nach Fertigstellung der vier Super-Yamatos ebenfalls die Geschütztürme der Super-Yamato-Klasse erhalten sollten. Super Yamato-class.

If the Navy instituted a rule that said that a president had to be dead for at least a century before his name was allowed to be used, that would sit better with me (not that it would happen). pp. Dies, so glaubte man in Japan, wäre aufgrund der innenpolitischen Lage in den USA nur schwer durchzusetzen gewesen, was sich auch an den zur ungefähr selben Zeit geplanten Entwürfen der Zu dieser Zeit glaubte jede Seemacht noch, dass Seeschlachten von Schlachtschiffen geführt werden und auch gewonnen würden.
. Initially the designers called for 8-9 20.1” guns but tests indicated that the ships would then displace over 90,000 tons making them too large and costly. I greatly preferred the old carrier names, based on historical battles or long standing historical and honored ship names like Enterprise, etc. Say for some reason the Japanese pulled some voodoo Shinto magic and managed to gain the economy to build several of these ships along with the Designated as Design A-150 and initially named Warship Number 178 and Warship Number 179, plans for the ships began soon after the design of the Yamato class was finished, probably in 1938–39. Im Jahr 1942 verlor die Japanische Marine jedoch vier Flugzeugträger bei der Im Flottenbauprogramm von 1941 waren noch vier weitere Neubauten nach neuem Entwurf beschlossen worden, welche nach der Umrüstung der Yamato-Klasse gebaut werden sollten. Da der 51,0-cm-Zwillingsturm mit 2.750 t nur rund 240 t schwerer war als die 46,0-cm-Drillingstürme der Yamato-Klasse, blieb die geplante Verdrängung mit 70.000 t nahezu gleich.

Aunque la demanda de otro tipo de buques de guerra, hicieron que todos los trabajos sobre el diseño A-150 fueran detenidos, y ninguna de las dos unidades planeadas, llegó a ser puesta en grada. I pity the guys in the shell room that have to manhandle a shell weighing over a ton-and-a-half onto the shell hoists. On 8 July 1921, the United States' Secretary of State In the 1930s, the Japanese government began a shift towards Japan's intention to acquire resource-producing colonies in the Pacific and Southeast Asia would likely lead to confrontation with the United States,Preliminary studies for a new class of battleships began after Japan's departure from the After these had been reviewed, two of the original twenty-four were finalized as possibilities, A-140-FThe final design called for a standard displacement of 64,000 long tons (65,000 t) and a full-load displacement of 69,988 long tons (71,111 t),In 1944—following extensive antiaircraft and secondary battery upgrades—In June 1944, as part of the Second Fleet, the ship escorted Japanese aircraft carriers during the Battle of the Philippine Sea.In June 1942, following the Japanese defeat at Midway, construction of Warship Number 111, never named, was planned as the fourth member of the The fifth vessel, Warship Number 797, was planned as an improved The class was also provided with two twin mounts for the licence-built Designed to engage multiple enemy battleships simultaneously,For torpedo protection, a multiple bulkhead side protection system was used which consisted of several void spaces as well as the lower belt armour; the system has a depth of 5.1 metres (16.7 ft) and was designed to withstand 400 kilograms (880 lb) TNT charge.
All Japanese BBs were named after provinces, or after alternative names for Japan. By Pal Es ist jedoch anzunehmen, dass diese Schiffe wiederum als eine neue Schlachtschiffsklasse klassifiziert worden wäre.
