Destruction of the unsinkable Super Battleship YAMATO. Operation Ten-ichi-Go

When designed in 1936, it was believed the Yamato would be unsinkable. She weighed a massive 72 thousand tones and had thickest amour of any ship constructed. But on the 7th of April 1945, she would face a force she simply wasn’t designed to withstand. Operation Ten-ichi-Go called for the Yamato and her escorts to fight their way to Okinawa and then beach themselves and fight as unsinkable shore batteries until they ran out of ammunition or were destroyed. any surviving crew members would disembark and fight to the death as infantry against American ground forces.
