Reminds me of a certain anime where she did not like being called that way despite being good in making diner and all. KanColle has always been very thorough in its historic research. Yes, also it seems that Yamato is a major fuel consumer which they also showed in the anime and why in real life the battleship was not deployed much. |

They also went the obvious route and depicted her as a yamato nadeshiko, the Perfect Japanese lady. |

A yamato nadeshiko is a compliant woman With a core of steel, not a doormat. But at least she was a proper senpai for Fubuki unlike Kongou or Akagi. But we are going of topic from what this thread is actually about. |

Remember that boarding and capturing ships used to be very common in the age of sails and the new crew would occaisonally keep the old name to remind the opposing faction of this. |

Toughed the Dutch would give here a new name, but i can understand the reason why they decided to keep here name. It is nice she never went to the scrapyard and finally returned home to Japan. |

Yamato had to have some luck instead of just being used as the universe's punching bag. |

In ITTL she got better AA weaponry before she could suffer that fate (Musashi was not so lucky). Instead it was the British battleship Oswald Mosley that got the reputation of a floating target and the nickname "the London Bullseye". |

Why would you name a battleship that might be a target after a person that is not liked. |
