In the modern age of aircraft carriers, Yamato's concept is pretty much outdated.

Shells are not missiles, against moving and turning targets means that heavy long-ranged cannons need the power of modern FCS to calculate and predict fire-trajectories, rather than the rounds adjusting themselves to suit the changes made by the enemy captain. Besides, the ability to fire shells over long distances is an over-exaggeration, at long distances pressure dynamics and the inertia generated by the mass of the shell would have flung the shot greatly off course by the time the flight path stabilises.

Katori was sunk by Iowa only when the latter closed the distance and is able to aim and fire with little to no lag time. Also, the Iowa could have almost matched Yamato in firepower with little to no accuracy differences over long ranges. The Montana is an overkill.
