[color=Blue]NOVA - Sinking the Supership[/color]



Information - Transcript from the first few minutes of the show.

NARRATOR: Twelve thousand feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, the secrets of the greatest battleship ever built lie entombed in a twisted mass of steel and iron. Now, over half a century after her sinking, a modern team of divers sets out to learn the secrets of the super battleship Yamato, the greatest ship of the Second World War.

At the outbreak of World War II, the battleship was the principal weapon of war at sea, and the leaders of Japan were intent on building the greatest naval force in the Pacific.

KATSUHIRO HARA (Historian): They began to think, "We'll never be able to compete with the U.S. on sheer numbers alone, but we will be able to build one really superb battleship that could destroy many ships on the other side."

NARRATOR: That superb ship was called the Yamato. Most of the secret drawings have disappeared, but the Yamato may have been almost twice the size of her American counterparts, with the biggest guns ever mounted on a warship.

NAOYOSHI ISHIDA (Yamato Survivor): Back then, I really wanted to engage in battle with an American battleship in the Pacific. I kept praying for that to happen.

NARRATOR: But the days of battleship warfare were numbered.

NAOYOSHI ISHIDA: When the Yamato was built, it was the time when they made big ships and put big guns on them. However, by the end, those big guns were useless to us.

NARRATOR: Useless because the Pacific War would be decided not by battleships, but by aircraft carriers. In the final months of the war, Japan unleashed a secret plan to deploy her greatest ship in the name of national honor.

NAOYOSHI ISHIDA: For Japan, if we're losing, we will give it everything we've got until the very end, using every means possible. That's what characterizes the Yamato spirit.

NARRATOR: The first U.S. sighting of the battleship Yamato triggered an aerial assault by over 400 aircraft. Quickly overcome by air power, the Yamato sank with all her secrets.

MALCOLM MUIR (Historian): In terms of human life this is the greatest naval disaster of all time.

NARRATOR: What was the Yamato's secret mission? What made her the most advanced warship of her time? Why did she sink with such a massive loss of life? By exploring her wreckage, an international team hopes to solve some of the last great naval mysteries of the Pacific war.
