The pinnacle in battleship prestige, BB S&S is proud to offer the mighty Yamato class battleship. The hull alone of this behemoth weighs more than most other complete battleships. Add the armor and guns and you have a truly astounding ship. Despite it's large crew, there is ample cabin space, including luxurious flag accommodations for the admiral of your fleet and any visiting dignitaries. If a neighbor gives you trouble, sail on over in the Yamato, give him a tour of the ship, and perhaps a demonstration of the main battery and you may well turn a foe into a friend!
