It wasn't the maiden voyage. Yamato served as flagship for the Main Body forces at Midway, June 1942.

That was the Shinano, the third ship in the Yamato class that was redesigned and built as an aircraft carrier.

The Yamato and the Musashi both were operational for more than a year and had significant water underthem before they were sunk.
