Yamato historically was kept back a lot, known as Hotel Yamato, since she spent more time sitting at Truk than doing any fighting in 1943.
But don't let that fool you, she is very deadly and has very accurate gunnery, rivaled only by Kongo in the Japanese Navy. Some sources record that she mission killed an escort carrier at a range over 30,000 meters. She is also known for her last stand on the way to Okinawa.
