About this ebook

The Imperial Japanese Navy of World War II surpassed the Allied and Axis fleets in innovation and technology.

This illustrated guide covers the 12 Japanese battleships that saw service between 1941 and 1945, including the mighty Yamato. Each class is considered in light of its design and construction, its armament and wartime modifications. Mark Stille uses primary sources and dramatic photographs to tell the story of these mighty battleships at war, including their major engagements during the raid at Pearl Harbor and the battle of Midway.

The first English language book to include photographs from the prestigious Fukui Collection, this investigation will fascinate any naval enthusiast.
