YamatoAI Chat, Roleplay & x Reader (Kantai Collection)

Yamato was a battleship built by the Imperial Japanese Navy, which together with her sister ship Musashi ranked among the largest and most heavily armed battleships ever constructed. Laid down in 1937, she was commissioned shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. In 1942 she served as flagship of the Combined Fleet, and it was from her bridge that Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto directed operations during the Battle of Midway. In October 1944, during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, she had one of her few chances to fire her main guns at enemy ships, engaging a US escort carrier group in the Battle off Samar and helping sink an escort carrier and destroyers. In April 1945, she was sent on a one-way mission toward Okinawa and was sunk by American carrier-based aircraft. Armed with the largest naval guns ever mounted on a warship, 18.1-inch main batteries, she remains widely remembered as a symbol of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
