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. Janusz Skulski's comprehensive anatomies of these renowned ships coupled with 3D artist Stefan Draminski's superb realistic renditions of the ships bring the topic to life with the most detailed renditions of these ships ever seen. Review: Best source yet for the physical details of the Yamato class battleships - A must-have for any modeler seeking to produce the most accurate example possible of either Yamato or Musashi. Particularly in view of the recent new release of the Gallery-Glow2B 1/200 Yamato model kit to surpass the ancient Nichimo version, you'll appreciate the additional details offered by this book. I'm certainly no expert on the Yamato, having read knowledgeable analyses from other experts who point out that not all graphic depictions in the book are 100% accurate, but it's the best single source yet. Beautifully illustrated, high-quality printing. None better on this subject.... Review: great books - If you are into Japanese battleships and can afford these, try to buy them. A little disappointing on the Yamato, since the Japanese destroyed most of the documentation, but still the most informative thing I have ever read. I probably should put italics on that I, since most of the WWII stuff I read is more European. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #215,676 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Ship Pictorials #68 in History of Military Vehicles #101 in Military History Pictorials | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 315 Reviews | ## Images ![Battleships Yamato and Musashi (Anatomy of The Ship) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/910wL4O4sPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best source yet for the physical details of the Yamato class battleships *by D***N on July 26, 2022* A must-have for any modeler seeking to produce the most accurate example possible of either Yamato or Musashi.

A little disappointing on the Yamato, since the Japanese destroyed most of the documentation, but still the most informative thing I have ever read. I probably should put italics on that I, since most of the WWII stuff I read is more European. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is the final word on these two ships. *by C***S on May 25, 2017* I have Skulski's earlier Anatomy of the Ship volume on the Yamato, the two Kagero books on Yamato and Musashi, and even a Gakken modelbuilder's book on Yamato. Skulski's latest puts all of those to shame. This book contains everything from the earlier Yamato AotS volume and more, numerous color CAD renderings of the ships, and colorized renditions of every extant photograph of the two ships. Includes interiors, exteriors, cross-sections, and even comprehensive shell plating details. Given the sparse details on the subject matter available, the sheer effort that went into researching and creating this work is nothing less than staggering. As a bonus, the book contains diagrams and photos of the Yamato and Musashi wrecks, including photos from Paul Allen's 2015 Musashi expedition. Modelbuilders, naval history buffs, and naval architecture aficionados need not look further if you have an interest in these ships - this book is the definitive, comprehensive, authoritative, unsurpassable reference on them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Battleships Yamato and Musashi (Anatomy of The Ship) - The Battleship Bismarck - The Aircraft Carrier Hiryu (Anatomy of The Ship) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/58417806-battleships-yamato-and-musashi-anatomy-of-the-ship](https://www.desertcart.us/products/58417806-battleships-yamato-and-musashi-anatomy-of-the-ship) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
