Description
1945: a mushroom cloud rises 20,000 feet into the sky. This is not from the bombing of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. It is the remains of the battleship 'Yamato'. Representing the ambition and determination of Imperial Japan, the loss of the Yamato in a kamikaze operation in April 1945 has become a symbol of the downfall of the Imperial Japanese Empire.
