The Yamato (text)

Erik Taylor sent me a link to an amazing photograph of the Yamato on fire (which you can see below). I would normally not copy and post a picture, but I didn't figure the Navy would mind. Here's the original link:

Here's what's amazing about that fire. Do you see those tiny ships to the left of the Yamato? Those are DESTROYERS. I think it's safe to assume that they're at least 300 feet long. And in that picture they look like Legos in comparison.
