Series: Anatomy of the Ship

Equipped with the largest guns and heaviest armour and with the

greatest displacement of any ship ever built, the Yamato proved

to be a formidable opponent to the US Pacific Fleet in the Second World

War. The book contains a full description of the design and construction

of the battleship including wartime modifications, and a career history

followed by a substantial pictorial section with rare onboard views of Yamato

and her sister ship Musashi, a comprehensive portfolio of more

than 1,020 perspective line artworks, 350 colour 3D views, and 30 photographs. The wreck of

Musashi has been recently discovered to great excitement in

Japan, renewing interest in these iconic warships.

Janusz Skulski’s anatomies of three renowned ships of the 20th century Japanese navy are among the most comprehensive of the Anatomy series with hundreds of meticulously researched drawings of the ships. Since their first publication he has continued to research the ships and has now produce a more definitive anatomy than was possible then. He has

teamed up with 3D artist Stefan Draminksi who produces superb realistic renditions of the ships that bring a whole new level of detail to the portraits of the ships. This new editions is a genuine

‘Super Anatomy’ containing the most detailed renditions of these ships ever seen.
