Yamato replica 1/1 ??

to bad it isn't a new yamato. i just die to set fould on those great ships of world war 2. imagine if the HOOD, BISMARCK, YAMATO and SCHARNHORST (my all time favorite ) sail the seas again

 

I find that I can live without either a new YAMATO or SCHARHORST, actually.

 

I think 1/400 is also ok

Bit rough on the crews, don't you think?

 

Countering a Powerful Ship

Usually,when you can't wipe out a megaship you turn to air superiority,but how many people have considered about building a ship larger and more powerful than those of the enemy.

 

but then you risk that the enemy also builds a ship, larger and more powerfuller then yours. where will that end?

 

Someone is going to economically hit the wall sooner or later.

Also really outsized ships start to suffer practical problems. Ie lack of ship yards that can handle them and suffiently deep achorage.

 

Or you just get the 'Floating Fortresses' as imagined by George Orwell in 1984.

 

Definitely not a good thing...

 

i never read that book. up to the library

 

Orwell had a very distinct outlook; he was a master of allegories. His "Animal Farm" was as much a history of the Russian Revolution as it was a farm animal story.

 

i know, i had to read it for my english class.

 

Any news about this Yamato movie btw?

 

Not that I've heard.

 

i wonder what kind of movie it will be. the only japanese movies a know are Godzilla.

 

I guess you have to find your icons somewhere. I'm not sure why the Japanese would want to make a movie about the Yamato. It would have to be considered a bigger failure than the Bismarck which at least sunk one enemy ship before being sunk herself. I'm not sure but IIRC the Yamato didn't sink any ships or accomplish anything except (fortunately) squandering the limited Japanese resources. Same goes for the Musashi and the Shinano (sunk on it's first cruise while still unfinished).
