Yamato Museum (Kure Maritime Museum)
A museum introducing the Yamato, the world’s largest battleship during World War II. Visitors can also learn about Kure’s history and science and technology. The 1/10-scale battleship Yamato, the symbol of the Yamato Museum, has been recreated based on original blueprints, underwater survey footage, and crew testimony. It continues to share the importance of peace and the excellence of science and technology with future generations.
After Japan lost in World War II, a lot of military technology was hidden in private companies. The design of Taiwan's new submarine looks a lot like Japan's Soryu-class, and it's said that Japan provided some technical support.
