In 2005 the Japanese made a big-deal movie about IJN Yamato.

I’d love to get a copy of this somewhere with English subtitles- if for no other reason, for the novelty of rooting for the ‘bad guys’. :-)

You’d like this one too. It is all set to a japanese singer, but it shows the Yamato going down. Very good effects.
