The Yamato class were the most powerful battleships ever built. As the war entered its waning days, the Japanese made sure that the victors would find none of her blueprints or building documents. Last year, in a moldy corner of a Yokosuka warehouse, a packet of documents were found that turned out to be the complete electrical blueprints for the great ships.
I am hopeful that eventually the full set of documents will be published, but in the meantime we'll have to do with this shot below, a copy of the article that appeared on the front page of a Tokyo newspaper about the find.
