Battleships Yamato and Musashi

A uniquely detailed visual representation of the legendary Japanese warships.

Equipped with the largest guns and heaviest armour and with the greatest displacement of any ship ever built, the Yamato proved to be a formidable opponent to the US Pacific Fleet in the Second World War. The book contains a full description of the design and construction of the battleship including wartime modifications, and a career history followed by a substantial pictorial section with rare onboard views of Yamato and her sister ship Musashi, a comprehensive portfolio of more than 1,020 perspective line artworks, 350 colour 3D views, and 30 photographs.

Janusz Skulski’s comprehensive anatomies of these renowned ships coupled with 3D artist Stefan Draminski's superb realistic renditions of the ships bring the topic to life with the most detailed renditions of these ships ever seen.
