The IJN Yamato was the flagship of the Empire of Japan, regarded as the largest and most powerful battleship ever built. She served in the Navy from 1941, taking part in numerous operations in the Pacific, up until her sinking during Operation Ten-Go in April 1945. The original decks of Yamato were distinguished by the precision craftsmanship of high-quality cypress wood, which was also aesthetically notable compared to other ships of the era.
