The Yamato was the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleship ever constructed. She carried the most formidable array of naval firepower in history, including three turrets with 69.4 foot long gun barrels — the largest guns ever mounted at sea. The Yamato departed from the dockyards at Hiroshima in 1942 with the objective of defeating the United States in the Pacific.
