Warsaw: Magnum-X.

All Japanese BBs were named after provinces, or after alternative names for Japan. We all know of the great Japanese super battleship the A-150 design equipping a a ship with monstrous 20 in guns.
However, due to her massive size, many experts consider the Shinano a Super-Battleship.
Battleships: Axis and Neutral Battleships in World War II. 74–81. They had virtually no useful AA, would have been shorter in length and much deeper in draft (and thus, slow and unmaneuverable, even by Yamato standards), with a very slow ROF on a ship that had a lack of guns and mediocre fire control, and (amazingly) with sub-par protection. It just smacks of the political maneuvering. Johnston and McAuley, p. 123; each of the three main turrets weighed more than a good-sized destroyer.Yoshida and Minear, p. xvii; Evans and Peattie, p. 378Jentschura, Hansgeorg; Jung, Dieter; Mickel, Peter (1977). Yamato and even Musashi were chosen because they were 'historic' provinces and had a deep meaning to the Japanese. (1985). The Zoelguut-class Class 1 Super Dreadnought is the largest and most powerful regular warship class in the fleet of the Great Garmillas Empire. I don't like seeing them named after presidents and worse after politicians who were never presidents.
Shinano - The Shinano was a one off modified and stretched Yamato-class hull. If the Navy instituted a rule that said that a president had to be dead for at least a century before his name was allowed to be used, that would sit better with me (not that it would happen).
We all know of the great Japanese super battleship the A-150 design equipping a a ship with monstrous 20 in guns. Available sources do not report when the double bottom was scrapped.These shells may have been nicknamed "The Beehive" while in service. It would've almost have a poetic irony too it, almost like the Maus Horneby, George (30 October 1944). Super Yamato-class The Super Yamato was released as part of the Mustang unit pack released on July 1, 2009. It would've almost have a poetic irony too it, almost like the Maus tank does. But naming them after more recently deceased or some who aren't yet dead just rubs me the wrong way. Das V. Flottenbauprogramm, das Japan 1941 verabschiedete, sollte 1942 umgesetzt werden.
Oh, naming them after loooooooong dead presidents like Washington and Lincoln isn't so bad.
Designated as Design A-150 and initially named Warship Number 178 and Warship Number 179, plans for the ships began soon after the design of the However, in October 1942, based upon a special request from From the time of their construction until the present day, Even as far back as 1933, Imperial Japanese Navy aviators, including Admiral Although the hull was scrapped, the double bottom was not; later construction of four large submarines took place on top of it. I pity the guys in the shell room that have to manhandle a shell weighing over a ton-and-a-half onto the shell hoists. Big caliber guns makes up for none of that. With only a little tongue-in-cheek, I'd have named them:
Es wurde auch zeitnah ein 1:1 Model der Munitions- und Umladekammern gebaut. 超大和型戦艦, Chō Yamato-gata senkan) handelte es sich um ein Planungsprojekt für japanische Schlachtschiffneubauten bzw. Diese Kaliber entsprach den Schiffen der Yamato-Klasse (46,0 cm), von der bereits Ende 1941 das erste Schiff in Dienst gestellt werden konnte und die nach Fertigstellung der vier Super-Yamatos ebenfalls auf 51,0 cm umgerüstet werden sollten.
Call it the IJN "Samurai" what a more fitting tribute to the Japanese culture, history and still somewhat of a mystery even today.
Designated as Design A-150 and initially named Warship Number 178 and Warship Number 179, plans for the ships began soon after the design of the Yamato class was finished, probably in 1938–39. "4 Carriers Sunk". Im Jahr 1942 verlor die Japanische Marine jedoch vier Flugzeugträger bei der Im Flottenbauprogramm von 1941 waren noch vier weitere Neubauten nach neuem Entwurf beschlossen worden, welche nach der Umrüstung der Yamato-Klasse gebaut werden sollten. Begun in 1938–39, the design was mostly complete by 1941. The Yamato-class Battleship (大和型戦艦) of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) were constructed and operated during World War II. Displacing 72,000 long tons (73,000 t) at full load, the completed battleships were the heaviest ever constructed. p. 103 The design of the Yamato-class battleships was shaped by expansionist movements within the Japanese government, Japanese industrial power, and the need for a fleet powerful enough to intimidate likely adversaries.After the end of the First World War, many navies—including those of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Imperial Japan—continued and expanded construction programs that had begun during the conflict.
