  1.  @Gingerbreadley  Japan NEVER obeyed the Washington Treaty with regards to the weight of its ships. If you examine the true displacement ALL their ships averaged 20+% over what was declared. Even their first such vessel Yubari was massively over what Japan told the world, the Mogami's being one of the worst examples where Japan declared their tonnage as 8,500 when the Japanese thought they would be 9.500 but when finally fit for service were over 12,000. Japan simply lied, hardly an honorable act. They did the same with their carriers, they lied so much it appeared they had enough tonnage left to build Soryu when in fact they did not. Japan withdrew from the Treaty system and all ships laid down after 31/12/1936 were not restricted in size though they did expend massive resources and efforts to hide the true size of the Yamato class.

  2. Thanks Drach, an interesting and informative video. I hope to see something similar with regard to the Royal Australian Navy. Politicians, the bane of any long term intelligent planning for defend your country for bullying neighbors.
