Equipped with the largest guns and heaviest armour and with the greatest displacement of any ship ever built, the Yamato proved to be a formidable opponent to the US Pacific Fleet in the Second World War. The book contains a full description of the design and construction of the battleship including wartime modifications, and a career history followed by a substantial pictorial section with rare onboard views of Yamato and her sister ship Musashi , a comprehensive portfolio of more than 1,020 perspective line artworks, 350 colour 3D views, and 30 photographs. The wreck of Musashi has been recently discovered to great excitement in Japan, renewing interest in these iconic warships. Janusz Skulski's anatomies of three renowned ships of the 20th century Japanese navy are among the most comprehensive of the Anatomy series with hundreds of meticulously researched drawings of the ships. Since their first publication he has continued to research the ships and has now produce a more definitive anatomy than was possible then. He has teamed up with 3D artist Stefan Draminksi who produces superb realistic renditions of the ships that bring a whole new level of detail to the portraits of the ships. This new editions is a genuine 'Super Anatomy' containing the most detailed renditions of these ships ever seen. Review: Yamato Anatomy of the Ship - This book is absolutely exceptional in quality and detail, if I had the funds I could 100% build an entire Yamato from this book. The details are incredibly good with great historical facts about the ship. If you are building your own model of the Yamato this book has all the details that you could ever need to help you build it. Great seller will be buying again. Review: Stunning read - Very detailed about both ships. Detailed drawings and images are really helpful to a modeller and great for the history buff.

The reference book on the Yamato class
This is a fantastic update on the previous version using new information obtained by the author. We will never know if it's correct or not, but having researched certain aspects I believe it's probably correct. If building any model of the Yamato this is a vital reference, particularly for larger scales. Well worth the money. It's a shame it doesn't cover the Shinano, but that is not really surprising as very little is known so fully understand why the author left it out.

The Imperial Japanese Navy's lost giants revealed
Amazing book. I've been intrigued by these ships since I was give a little book on Japanese battleships as a child. In those days there was very little known of the ships as the Imperial Japanese Navy did a "TSR2" and destroyed all plans and photographs of them the moment they realised all was lost. Over the years more has become known and plans and pictures have been found, and the wrecks of both ships have been found and visited with submersibles, and all this info has been distilled into this amazing book. If I could give it 6 stars I would. Bargain price at the moment too!

Excellent detail
The book has an initial text but it's mostly a comprehensive set of detailed drawings of the ship, complemented with colored 3D images from Stefan Draminski; the only reason I do not rate this mammoth 5 stars is because although featured in several drawing and pictures, there is no rigging diagram for the ship - the main reason why I acquired this book.

The ultimate reference book on these ships.
This is not a reprint of the older Anatomy of the Ship book nor have their been a few bonus pages added...it is almost an entirely new book with 336 pages that cover both ships in detail with many new photos, colour illustrations and some updated line drawings from the previous publication. I consider this to be the ultimate reference material on these two ships and a steel at the price...fantastic value for money, I cannot praise it enough.

Sehr empfehlenswert
Modellbauerherz was willst Du mehr: Ein Buchmit viel Wissenswertes und vielen Anregungen für meinen Bau der Yamato. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis finde ich auch sehr gut. Ich habe bereits das Buch über die Bismarck aus der Reihe und werde mir wohl aus der Reihe noch das eine oder andere Buch davon zulegen 👍👍👍👍

Highly recommended
Part of a series of books that are great for naval history geeks. This volume has more info on the Yamato than any other source I've looked at. This is particularly impressive considering that the Japanese destroyed alot of the plans and details after Japan's defeat leaving only fragmented data.
