Hmm, that makes me wonder, would the Type 0 HE shell work as well, or does it have to be as heavy as Iowa's shells or more? AFAIK they are small ships that carries a full load of rocket launchers.

Wiki "LSM(R)-188)", there are quite some info there.

Japanese shells of the same caliber is a lot lighter than their US counterpart, or rather, the US Navy are using extremely heavy shells for each caliber of guns. You may need Yamato's 46cm Type 0 HE shell to match the effect of the American 16-inch SHS effect.
