X-WR-CALDESC:7 April 1945: The Yamato\, a Japanese battleship\, sunk
off Okinawa\, largely due to SIGINT tipoffs. Yamato was the lead ship of
the Yamato class of Imperial Japanese Navy World War II battleships. The s
hip was sunk by American planes 200 miles north of Okinawa while en route
to a suicide mission in Operation Ten-Go. \n\nExcerpted from Wikipedia: Th
e only time Yamato fired her main guns at enemy surface targets was in Oct
ober 1944\, when she was sent to engage American forces invading the Phili
ppines during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. On the verge of success the Japane
se force turned back\, believing they were engaging an entire US carrier f
leet rather than the light escort carrier group that was all that stood be
tween the battleship and the vulnerable troop transports.\n\nDuring 1944\,
the balance of naval power in the Pacific decisively turned against Japan
\, and by early 1945 its fleet was much depleted and badly hobbled by crit
ical fuel shortages in the home islands. In a desperate attempt to slow th
e Allied advance\, Yamato was dispatched on a one-way mission to Okinawa i
n April 1945\, with orders to beach herself and fight until destroyed prot
ecting the island. The task force was spotted south of Kyushu by US submar
ines and aircraft\, and on 7 April 1945 she was sunk by American carrier-b
ased bombers and torpedo bombers with the loss of most of her crew.
