    The first pic is at a Can-Nats in Dartmouth NS. Yamato is in the center and has unleashed a triple barrage at Warspite (Bob Pottle) . Warspite is outside the 3ft range but even at that distance Yamato can hit targets like Warspite. 2nd pic. Yamato A turret landing a salvo. 3rd Pic B turret landing a salvo. Only one barrel fired in that pic as the other ran out of rounds. 4th pic.. Yamato B turret landing a double salvo. Initial impact is about a foot then the rounds continue another foot.5th picl. Yamato firing from B turret . Range is evident. About a foot from the hull. This is for waterline and below. 6th Pic B turret firing. . 7 TH PIC: Musash's B turret from Port Side firing at Barham. 12 inch range initial impact with water. 8 th PIC. Musashi A turret fring shorter range at a forward angle. Musashi was leaning into that shot which shorten the range. 8th pic Yamato firing a shot from A turret at South Carolina.


    The next set of pics is a battle between Musashi and Yamato. You can see our exchange of sidemount shots.

    Thank you for your correction. Spelling is not my strong suit

    That wasn't my intent. I was actually truly pointing out that I like saying "Moooosawwwwwsssshiiiiiiii"

    And very appropriate & timely, too. Considering the latest news about finding Big Mushy.

    I nickname most of the multi-syllable boats... "Mushy, Yammer, Naggy, Mutt"

    If you catch someone, you can end them. :D
    You never use reverse though. It's always full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes.

    ...maybe that explains the big "I brake for NOBODY" bumper sticker across Yammer's stern
