Do you even understand? Up to 1945, Yamato's speed was just 27 knt, anh if i have to compare it with Iowa's, Bismarck's, or South Dakota's, she was even slower than them.

Anh Yamato was built to be a traditional battleship, which had big guns, thick armor, slow speed anh could fight against many enemy vessels. She wasn't designed with high-speed, and even the Wikipedia is call her a battleship, not a "fast battleship", dude.

To compare with the same IJN's ships, she was slower than Kongou sister :V

The speed "24 - 25 knt" was just the speed of the old battleships which were built during the WW1 (Fusou, Ise, American old BBs looked like a leaf) and their maximum speed was just about 21 knt. A HMS ship archieve the speed of 23 knt, but Nagato could reach 26 knt. And they were very old.

So, if you keep calling Yamato is a FBB, check the wikipedia, naval pages, groups on FB or naval forums and you will have your last answer. Have a nice day.

P/s: i'm a Vietnamese, so my English is not good at all. If you see any wrong, just look a way and don't care about it :V
