Lyrics of Yamato by Sabaton

Historical background

Commissioned in 1941, Yamato carried nine 46-centimetre guns. Its design reflected Japan’s expectation that a decisive engagement between surface fleets could determine the outcome of the war.

In April 1945, Yamato sailed towards Okinawa as part of Operation Ten-Go. American carrier aircraft sank it on 7 April, showing how decisively air power had changed the naval war.
