The largest class of battleships ever produced. There were four ships in the class: Yamato (completed), Musashi (completed), Shinano (converted to aircraft carrier), and Kii (never completed). Many believe that the Yamato and Musashi were the last battleships to be in active duty. However, the United States had many more battleships in activity, from before the completion of the Yamato and to the end of World War II and later events, such as the Korean War. Japan's surrender documents were signed on the deck of an infamous United States battleship, the USS Missouri. The USS Missouri and her sister ships were in use by the United States Navy up to the Gulf War. The Yamato was not the last battleship to be in active duty.
The Yamato was a nightmare in the eyes of United States sailors in World War II, until their carrier aircraft sent the Yamato on it's one-way trip to the iron bottom.

Get the Yamato mug.yamato syndrome. YS. anti-kaizen
A condition or symptoms where a new transformable toy, when carefully taken out of its box, gently transformed / posed / played with, INEVITABLY break due to poorly planned manufacturing - primary reason for failure is often due to dumbass, retarded personnel behind the manufacturing job.
Breakage prone areas on transformable toys (usually crucial moving, stress bearing areas) are OFTEN purposely made with subpar materials, manufactured thoughtlessly, leading to the toy's eventual damage, out of order, kaputting... etc.
Origins of Yamato Syndrome - Since the start of the human culture. Back in the day, the syndrome had MANY names - usually known to many as cuss words. Yamato Syndrome is the modern day, child-safe, politically correct name as it's previous names were too volatile for many civic-minded people.
The modern name Yamato Syndrome is birthed by the negative culture of toy-making company by the same first name; Yamato. Lacking experience but insanely passionate to proof something, they ventured into making subpar (but beautiful) transforming toys for Macross fans. The year was 1999.
Fast forward to 2007, worshipped by manutards the world over, Yamato are still making subpar (but beautiful) transforming toys for Macross fans. And thriving! They have proven to the world that stupidity, laziness, lies, dishonor and zero quality can too bring success. But we know they were all yamatoed.
With such consistency and discipline, Yamato's principle of Yamato Syndrome is today elevated to be the EXACT opposite of Kaizen - Japanese for continuous and incremental improvement, a business philosophy about working practices and efficiency; improvement in productivity or performance. Praticed by Yamofos that failed at Kaizen, any Yamofo can do it. All it took was more stupidity, laziness, lies, dishonor and zero quality.

Get the yamato damashii mug.Kira Yamato is the civilian who soon becomes the pilot of the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam. He is not afraid to cry, risks things too much, and isn't afraid of screwing up. Later, he becomes the pilot of the legendary Freedom Gundam, and defies all laws of physics to save the day. He then gets the crap beaten out of him by Shinn Asuka. He later pilots an awesome Gundam which doesn't add up to laws of gravity, physics, or plain common sense: the Strike-Freedom.
