These pictorial records document the main types of Japanese vessels, from battleships to submarines, based on the best images from Shizuo Fukui, a former Imperial Japanese Navy commander and technician. These photos include the ones Fukui began collecting as a young boy and continued after he worked as a naval shipbuilder, and those that he was given in order to complete a photographic history of the Imperial Japanese Navy's ships, which include those gathered by Nagamura Kiyoshi, a shipbuilder who proactively collected photos, and the collection of machinist Amari Yoshiyuki. Moreover, with the help of shipbuilder Makino Shigeru, among others, Fukui was able to continue to gather photographs and other items throughout the postwar period. It is not an exaggeration, therefore, to say that Fukui dedicated his entire life to this work. These images are especially valuable because of the massive destruction of official documents at the end of the war. Review: Very informative - A “must-have” for anyone interested in this class of ships. Review: Highly recommended! - Excellent value for the money, better than expected, Japanese editions of this volume usually go for two to three times the price of this edition. This English version is every bit as crisp and good a quality as the original Japanese edition. Highly recommended!

A+++ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ PHOTOS OF YAMATO CLASS BATTLESHIPS *by J***X on January 7, 2020* The book is very well done.My only gripe with book is most of the photos ,I'VE seen before..A lot of U.S.N. pictures of YAMATO sinking in1945 .The photo of the magazine exploding !!!!It looks like a nuke going off! The pictures I liked were the Barbette being lowered into hole on deck.massive weight,massive job.They call it a turret. It's not .It's a Babette. The pictures of MUSASHI were all.new to me.I like the close up of the,the 3 forward gun turrets and bridge.Great detail!! All in all a decent book.Ithink its a little steep in price,for a knockoff .Would I buy another copy.maybe. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Battleships Yamato and Musashi: Selected Photos from the Archives of the Kure Maritime Museum; (The Japanese Naval Warship Photo Albums) - Battleships Yamato and Musashi (Anatomy of The Ship) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/118660464-the-battleships-yamato-and-musashi-selected-photos-from-the-archives](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/118660464-the-battleships-yamato-and-musashi-selected-photos-from-the-archives) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-31*
