Musashi, sister of battleship Yamato, was commissioned in August 1942 when she proceeded to Truk Lagoon, where Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto made Musashi his flagship.  After he was killed on 18 April 1943 (having been shot down by a special U.S. Army Air Forces operation) in the Solomons theater of operations, Musashi returned to Japan carrying his ashes. On 24 October 1944, Musashi was attacked in the Sibuyan Sea by American carrier-based aircraft and capsized.  She sank at 7:25 PM, taking more than 1,000 of her 2,399 crew with her.  That battle was the only time that the Musashi had fired her guns in anger.
