IJN Yamato

== History and Battles Fought in ==
The IJN Yamato is a "Yamato" class Battleship, and the flagship of that class. She is also the second largest battleship in the world, giving the Japanese Navy a real record. The Yamato was created by the Japanese to contest the United States' Pacific Fleet, as the Emperor saw as a threat to Japan and their colonies. The Japanese first used the Yamato in the Battle for Hawaii, when the peace seeking United States tried diplomatic talks with the Japanese. The Yamato quickly sank the USS Arizona and the USS California, as well as severely damaging USS Utah in the Battle for Pearl Harbor. The entire island of Hawaii lies in the hands of the Japanese Empire.
