Yamato, lead ship of a class of two 65,000-ton (over 72,800-tons at full load) battleships, was built at Kure, Japan.  She was by far the largest battleship ever built, even exceeding in size and gun caliber the U.S. Navy's abortive Montana class. Their nine 460mm (18.1-inch) main battery guns, which fired 1460kg (3200 pound) armor piercing shells, were the largest battleship guns ever to go to sea, and the ships' scale of armor protection was also unsurpassed.

Visually, Yamato looked intimidating, a perception enhanced by their huge swept back single funnel, tower bridge, and massive main battery turrets (each one of which had a revolving weight of 2,530t, the weight of a large WW II destroyer!). But, their long clipper bow and "wave" shaped deck made them seem surprisingly graceful. They were, in fact, very maneuverable, far more so than the much smaller Allied Vanguard and Iowa class.

Musashi, "sister" of the 65,000-ton battleship Yamato, was built at Nagasaki, Japan. Commissioned in August 1942, she was stationed at Truk from January 1943 into 1944 as part of a heavy force covering the Central Pacific against the threat of an American offensive. When the latter materialized, with the invasion of the Marshalls and raids by aircraft carrier planes against Japanese positions further west, Musashi's base was moved to the Palaus. She was torpedoed by the submarine USS Tunny (SS-282) on 29 March 1944, necessitating repairs in Japan, during which her anti-aircraft firepower was enhanced.

In June 1944, with the torpedo damage repaired, Musashi took part in the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Her next, and last, major operation was the Battle of Leyte Gulf, in which the Japanese surface navy made a final major effort to repulse the U.S. drive into the Western Pacific. On 24 October 1944, while en route to the prospective battle area off the Leyte landing beaches, Musashi and her consorts were attacked by hundreds of U.S. Navy carrier aircraft. In this Battle of the Sibuyan Sea, she was hit by some nineteen torpedoes and seventeen bombs. Though her heavy protection withstood this massive damage to a degree probably unsurpassed by any other contemporary warship, Musashi capsized and sank about four hours after she received her last hit.

The Scharnhorst was a battle cruisers and had done a great deal to turn the Battle of the Atlantic towards a potential German victory. She and her sister ship dash up the English Channel in February 1942, Operation Cerberus, was a major embarrassment for the Royal Navy.

Scharnhorstwas commissioned in 1939. She was usually referred to as "light" battleships, despite her 771ft long hulls and standard displacement of 34,841t, very close to the 35,000t treaty maximum. In fact, she was longer than, and almost as heavy as, the British King George V class or the American North Carolina class fast battleships. What makes her "light" is their 9-11in/47 guns. What she gained by this sacrifice was extensive internal sub-division, higher speed (32 kts as opposed to the 27-28 kts of the Allied ships), long range, and heavy armor (13.75 inch belt).

Scharnhorst and her sister ship had the most brilliant career of all the capital ships of the German Navy. The two battle cruisers were famous for their beautiful style. It may safely be said that their well-proportioned shape ranked second to no other battleships of the world.
