USS Alabama began her combat service
augmenting the British Fleet protecting convoys on
the "Murmansk Run" from England through the North
Sea to Russia against German warships and aircraft.
The ship transferred to the Pacific Fleet in August
1943, and earned 9 battle stars providing gunfire
support for amphibious assaults on Japanese-held
islands and protecting carrier task forces from air
and surface attack. Alabama was credited with
shooting down 22 Japanese planes. Her radar was the
first to detect enemy bombers in the Battle of the
Philippine Sea, at the unprecedented range of 190
miles. This warning enabled U.S. fighters and
anti-aircraft gunners to destroy over 400 Japanese
planes.

battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy and was the
Flagship of Admiral Togo. It fought in the very
famous historic "Battle of the Japan Sea" vs. the
Russian Battle Fleet during May 27-28, 1905 and was
instrumental during the Russo-Japanese war.

of £880,000 (8.8 million yen). Mikasa was a
state-of-the-art pre-dreadnought battleship,
achieving an unprecedented combination of firepower
and protective strength.

Yamato Battleship
5' long |
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
Battleship
5' long |
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.

Scharnhorst
Battlecruiser
|
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.

E-boats were used effectively on all fronts by the

English channel after the German capture of the

covering force of warships supporting the invasion
of North Africa, "Operation Torch." On November 8,
1942, she engaged the French battleship Jean Bart
in a gun duel and fired the first American 16"
projectile of World War II. By the end of the day
she had fired more than 700 16" projectiles,
silencing the Jean Bart and contributing to
the sinking of five enemy ships.
On
August 9, 1945, during a bombardment of the
ironworks in Kamaishi, Honshu, Big Mamie fired the
war's last 16" shell. Over the course of the war,
she sank or damaged 5 enemy ships and shot down 39
aircraft. She earned 11 battle stars for her World
War II service and never lost a man in combat.

Mexican waters where she joined the Special Service
Squadron following the "Vera Cruz Incident". She
returned to Atlantic Fleet operations in the fall of
1914, after the Mexican crisis was resolved. In 1916
Texas became the first U. S. battleship to mount
anti-aircraft guns and the first to control gunfire
with directors and range-keepers, analog forerunners
of todays computers.
