Yamato Museum in Kure. The largest ship model in the world

The ship "Yamato" (Yamato) was the largest and most powerful of all the linear battle ships of the Japanese naval fleet... At the time of launching it before the Second World War, only the British Queen Mary passenger liner had a greater displacement ... Each of the 18dm (457mm) caliber guns could fire two 1473 kg of projectile per minute at a distance of 41000 meters ...

Now this hulk, however, reduced in 10 times, is the main exhibit of the Maritime Museum in Kura, or, as it is also called, the “Yamato Museum” ... The opening of the museum took place in 2005 year, after several underwater expeditions ...

Particular retelling history battleships like Yamato, I think, does not make much sense, the ships are quite famous.
But what struck me was the attitude to the history of the lost war, not only from the state, but also from the side of the simple Japanese.
To build such a museum to a ship that could not defeat not only an enemy ship equivalent to itself, but inflict any damage to it.

It’s just that the crew of the ship sacrificed themselves (this is why the museum), that would delay the US aviation in the battle for Okinawa and if it were lucky to bring rustle to the landing craft. Bad luck. To sink this giant, amers lost only 10 aircraft.

you can learn from them how to honor their ancestors ................. interesting museum!

[Kaetani]

A great example of how to relate to your story. In such places, the first sprouts of patriotism break out among very young citizens.
I will not be upset if taxpayer money goes to such a museum. And the theft of state money is equated with treason, as in the defense industry complex - you can’t save and cash in your homeland.

According to the Bushido code, Yamato went into battle to fight, even knowing that the amer attack aircraft were doomed, lined up for attack. Yamato had very weak anti-aircraft weapons, if compared to Amer’s battleships, then Yamato had it 3-4 times weaker, plus the complete control of the Yankees in the air.

Not too lazy to look at the number of times the air defense Yamato "weaker" amerskoy battleship Missouri in 1945 godu.Dlya you will be an eye-opener:
Yamato-152 memory with a caliber of 25 mm, 4 machine guns 13 mm.
Missouri-129 machine guns.
How? Take an interest before writing!

"Flak effective as far as functional management system to them!" (C) saying the war in the Pacific!
What does this mean?
On American battleships and aircraft carriers, anti-aircraft artillery was divided into:
127 mm Universal Guns
40-mm anti-aircraft automatic "Bofors" (for four barrel for installation)
small-caliber machine guns "Oerlikon".

On American large vessels, the guidance of the first two classes of guns was carried out centrally from the KDP (command-range posts),
and not one but several have their own radar centimeter (!!) range! In addition, anti-aircraft missiles, 127 mm guns were equipped with "fuze" detonating warhead projectile near the target! "The Last Frontier" defense provided Oerlikon and heavy machine guns with manual fire!
On Japanese large ships, not excluding Yamato and his Musashi sistership, there were only navigation meters of the meter range (I will not explain the difference between meter and centimeter ranges and the consequences). The guidance of all anti-aircraft weapons was carried out using individual guidance tools! At best, according to data from rangefinders!
draw your own conclusions)))

I looked at the photo and felt like a 45-year-old kid. How cool everything is done and maintained in excellent condition. We Russians can only learn

[Kars]

It’s just interesting if the accompanying text has been corrected, is it not necessary for the poster to report this?

And why didn’t I like the mention that I’m very interested in the battle of Yamato and Missouri? And that the warship only in battle deserves a place in the analogs of combat history as they did .. Hood .. and .. Bismarck ..?
And so, Yamato got a place in the section --- curiosities and records

Gentlemen, you are too critical of our Russian museums - there are a lot of them and their uniqueness cannot be doubted. Kubinka, Central Naval Museum, Artillery Museum, ship museums .... many others. Of course I would like more, but at the moment there is something to see. Another thing is financing.

[Brother Sarych]

And in St. Petersburg, the Central Museum of the Navy was driven from its place? And how did everything look in a new place? It was not the last time I was there to visit the museum ...

[desava]

In the sense of "rounded up" ?! He is no longer on the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island?

[Brother Sarych]

Yes, I heard that he was transferred to another place - to some barracks, if memory does not change ...

[Aleksys2]

It seems like the TsVMM was supposed to move to the building of the Kryukovskie (Naval) barracks, and at the same time the Marine Corps of Peter the Great was transferred to Kronshtadt (until 1998 VVMU named after MV Frunze)

[desava]

It has long been want to "chop off" the Admiralty at the institute, which I ended up ... But the museum, then why touch ???

[tauras]

In principle, if a new and larger building, then let it move. It’s not like the square is not enough.

[tauras]

Transferred to the Moika embankment, on Strelka Vasilyevsky closed

[Makl]

In place, does not move

[wown]

beautiful

[SIA]

Cool done. I wonder what it was made of? Metal or plastic for metal?

[sedoj]

Mesmerizing.

[Narkom]

This ship was built for the filming of the film, and among the battleships designed in the 30s, I like Bismarck better, he is prettier.

[Gromila78]

Construction of "Yamato" was a waste of resources. When the roast cock pecked and the Japanese began to build aircraft carriers from whatever was at hand and remade the Shinano, it only held 60 aircraft. And this despite the fact that the Japanese first began to develop its aircraft carrier connections. The admirals were sorry to refuse such beautiful toys.

[SL.Kocegar]

The ship "Yamato" (Yamato) was the largest and most powerful of all linear warships of the Japanese Navy

Single-Type Battleship "Musashi" was also sunk by American aviatsiey.Byl third but his altered in avianosests "Shinano"

[Bear52]

SL.Kocegar, add:
A "Shinano" drowned shtatovskih submarine one gulp shestitorpednym (got, like, 5) But the course of this attack, I strongly reminded Marinesko attack on the "Gustloff"! Regards =

[Altergo]

Serious boat.
