Check out this, a 26" inch armor plate from a turret off of the Japanese battleship Yamato which was struck by a 16" armor piercing shell. It is on display in a park beside a hidden Naval Museum at the Navy Yard off of M Street S.E, in Washington D.C. If you can find it, the museum is a treasure box of lots of unusual things, including an analogue computer used by U.S. submarines to aim torpedoes in WWII.

Ah, no. It is from a Yamato CLASS ship, not necessarily the Yamato and the hole was punched in the US.

Kool.

Your link and the sublinks are the way the ‘net used to be.

Pure info/data in context all the way down.
