Musashi and Yamato, 27-knot Japanese battleships, each 263 m. (863 ft.) in length, with a displacement tonnage of 62,300 which made them the largest warships ever built. Armed with nine 46 cm. (18 in.) guns which fired 1,360 kg. (3,000 lb.) projectiles up to a maximum range of 37,850 m. (41,400 yd.), they could pierce the armour of any US warship whose armaments would also have been outranged. But both became victims of
air power. Though they were part of Vice-Admiral
Kurita's force during the
Leyte Gulf battle in October 1944, where
Musashi was sunk (it took 19 torpedoes and 17 bombs), they took little part in the
Pacific war.
Yamato was sunk in the battle of the
East China Sea in April 1945 (it took ten torpedoes and six bombs).
