  1. 17:46 "Unfortunately, there is only one known photo of Yamato class." In "Build The Musashi" by Youshimura, he discusses the test firing of the guns. They'd bolted cages to the deck, within the blast zone of the guns. They placed small animals within the cages. This book is noteworthy because much of it discusses the extreme security measures surrounding the construction of this class of ship. The result of the security measures is that this book suffers because it is 'sparse' on detail. My opinion.

  2. 11:15 But the fine details of battleship gun manufacture are best left to their own video. I look forward to that discussion.
