Umm, that would only be the case for the iowa, with a super shell. The NC and SD guns were smaller caliber, and from what I heard, they dont use the Iowa's super shell, though I might be wrong. If they dont, then it is safe to say Yamato would not be screwed.

Also, I think they were expecting the US to use 16 inch guns, afterall, the Maryland class used 16 inch guns.
