I was wondering about that too, though I kinda chalk it up to Anime portions. Maybe they got some of those supplies from Toriko or somewhere like that (lol).

In response to Anon 114.124.3.167... Historically, Yamato was the biggest and heaviest of the IJN surface ship and her accomodations were top tiered to accomodate Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto himself as she was the Flagship of the Combined Fleet. Some even joked that because of how well-protected she is due to her status and the enormous screen of ships around her, she's a verified floating hotel. (In fact, the only battle where she engaged her main batteries at an enemy surface vessel was when she sank the CVE Gambier Bay at the Battle off Samar. And we know how well that battle went.)

She was basically the Japanese equivalent to the German Tirpitz - Big, imposing and a very real threat that was quickly neutralized by Allied naval air power.
