Historical and Technical Features

IJN Musashi was a sister ship to the famous Yamato. Built in Japan, it served as the core of the offensive fleet from 1942. The ship participated, among others, in operations around the Philippine Islands, and its final battle – heroic and dramatic – took place in the Battle of Leyte.
