On paper...back in the very late 1930s and early 1940s, Yamato was thought ot be smaller that she actually was. Her guns were covered up as 15.7 inch (40 cm) and the Americans figured she'd have 16 inch guns and roughly like maybe the USS Iowa in size.

They were quite shocked to find that her guns were 46 cm and she was a lot wider than expected. Heavier and more advanced than the Americans expected from the Japanese in 1941.


The shipgirl, Yamato, will be however she is, but I still think it be funny the roles are reversed and it is Fubuki who is "sempai" to the elegant looking Yamato.

Takatatsu Ayana? I just realized who that is....Azusa (K-On)
