Since Midway we have only gained a few glimpses of the enemy's major units, We have had a distant look at one of his new YAMATO class battleships at Truk. Photographs show a ship of considerable size, whose armament and general characteristics parallel those of our IOWA. A relatively wide beam - proportionately much greater than in equivalent vessels of our navy - suggests exceptional stabilitv and protection, with corresponding performance as a gun platform and high resistance to shell- fire and torpedo attack. An intermediary battery in 6" or 8" twin turrets represents a notable departure from traditional practice and recalls re¬ cent Gerrnan capital ship design. It is considered unlikely that this "super-secondary" armament is dual-purpose. A/A armament (probably '5"/40 d.p. and lighter automatic weapons) shows the emphasis to be ex- pected in new capital ship design and approaches that provided for the defense of our recent battleships. Concentration of superstructure elements reflects the necessity of clearing fields of fire for increased A/A, and renders ships of this class clearly distinguishable from older battleships. The .conventional Japanese pagoda has been simplified as a high tower. Huil form and dimensions indicate an extremely rugged and maneuverable ship capable of somewhat lower maximum speed than is at- tained by our own IOWA. Photographs show indentations on either side of the stern, which would tend to bear out reports of some special instal- lation or weapon in this position. (These indentations have also been noted on the CL AGANO). Without more reliable information as to the function of this particular installation no conclusions can be reached. The statement that some special device appears to have been incorporated in the stern of at least one unit of the YAMOTO class must, therefore, suffice for the present.
