Each shell was a formidable projectile, making the Yamato's main battery the largest ever fitted to a warship, capable of launching these heavy shells across vast distances. #reel #facebook #trending #instagram #foryoupage | Ships & Models by Erick Navas

At Leyte Gulf, the mighty Yamato opened fire for the first—and last—time against the small escort carriers of Taffy 3.

The world’s largest battleship turned away. #WWII #Yamato #LeyteGulf #Taffy3 #BattleOffSamar #ImperialJapaneseNavy | The Reliable Narrator
