Thanks AON. The Yamamoto is the first 'super carrier' of the KISDF, with her toughness, speed and size. If you are wondering why I said she is the third ship to bear that name, here are the other two, just as revolutionary, if not more.

The first Yamamoto was a modified Yamato class battleship, the only battleship to be bought for combat use, the only other time I bought the Yamato was to get certain parts. She was the first ship to be armed with 46 cm guns, which for a navy is an important mile stone, and is the first ever battlecarrier of the KISDF, another important step. She was weak, under powered and slow, but provided the KISDF with the right type of experience to build even better ship.

The second Yamamoto was a cruiser. Though her full name is Admiral Yamamoto, she is often just called Yamamoto, like the Admiral Graf Spee is usually just called Graf Spee. She was the first 'pocket battleship' of the KISDF, which as you can she for a cruiser based fleet is very important. Indeed, much of her design was incorporated in the Endevour class, first called Interceptor class, which the same guns and similar toughness, faster and carried more torpedoes and AAA guns.

So, there it is. Three Yamamotos, all revolutionary, and all in honour of one of the most famous admirals in history.
