Yamato actually sucked compared to other ships. Terrible AA armament, the main guns were average but very difficult to operate, and the ship overall was very over-designed. Still, very powerful warship indeed.
@@chatterycasque9594 however what i know is her history are scary than other, cause to sinking her need many US aircraft to make her sleep forever and that why im making yamato on very top in my opinion. Also bismarck have a great history he gun can detonated Hood, so im place yamato in #1 and bismarck #2, thats my opinion cause i dont have many studies about other ship history.
@@captainatlantic268 there wasn't a need for so many aircraft. Yamato was sunk by a handful of torpedoes, and only 9-10 American aircraft were shot down, many more damaged in very minor ways.
As an American, the Yamato is and has been classified as the most powerful battleship ever made. We’re just lucky we didn’t face more as they were still constructing them during WW2. They were wider by a large margin compared to the Iowa class due to the U.S. having to fit through the Panama canal. It took literally multiple ships and aircraft to sink the Yamato, in reality we might have lost Midway if they had 4 of them all made. A lot of Americans need to humble themselves, we could have easily lost if the other Yamato class ships were finished construction. A lot of people don’t realize Japan was a powerhouse during that time and a force to be reckoned with.
How do you figure an Iowa would destroy the yamato only chance the yamato would have is calm seas and clear weather attack at night or during bad weather and the yamato wouldn't be able to hit shit meanwhile the Iowas would be landing bullseye because the targeting was miles better than yamatos could ever hope to be
@@gregoryrose13both of their accuracy was still shit and neither side did anything to each over. At least the Yamato was more useful in terms of tonnage destroyed compared to the Iowa’s, they did convoy escorts and shore bombardments. Money better spent on cruisers wouldn’t you think?
Iowa had 9 406mm guns Yamato had 9 480mm guns Bismarck had 8 380mm guns Richelieu had 8 380mm guns Littoro had 9 380mm guns All of which fired shells upwards of 1500 lbs each
Yamato didn't have 480mm guns, it was 457, also in a way the Iowa has an advantage in several areas the Yamato doesn't. Iowa's technology was superior, including her fire control and she could fight at night. This was BEFORE she was upgraded, all the Yamato has was thick armour and big guns, her firing control system isn't nearly as good as the Iowa's. So the Iowa could have the potential to kill a Yamato
@@matthewwilliams2881 that's all the Yamato had for her, Iowa's damage control, firing, radar, mobility and aa was much better, Iowa would win if she could get in close, which is very possible.
@@ShadowHunter31 I understand your POV, I also do know the potential of Yamato's 18.1 inch guns. What I'm saying is that Iowa has the potential, it's not impossible, her fire control is much superior compared to the Yamato's.

@@newhope33 one the bl 1 mk1 15 inch guns were still excellent and two they were modified to use superchargers that gave them considerably better ballistic performance then the American 16 inch gun
The Iowas carried nuclear shells for awhile, so yeah, I think that would automatically make them the most powerful for obvious reasons. Also their design was the overall best of any other battleship ever built.
Musashi is the same as Yamato, as well as New Jersey being the same as Iowa and Tirpitz being the same as Bismarck, kind of stupid to put identical sisterships in this list.
@@Granny_tutcherNot really Tirpitz got a better Radar ( which for some reason was still able to be knocked Out by her own guns) some more Armor, more anti Air and i think her her engines we're upgraded.
Fun fact: The mn Richelieu was French battleship after he was captured by the axis in near the end of 1942 he was attacked by swordfish torpedo planes but got refloated in 1943 the ship sailed in New York to get rifted and repaired and now back in the Allie’s team the ship fought for the Allie’s and French to kill many axis ships and planes later in 1967 his main cannons are now memorial it’s in the public
The real interesting fact: It is because of the English that France did not come to the allies and remain Neutral until 1943 because the English attacked and killed more than 1500 French sailors in 1940 wanting to kill and reduce the French fleet just by fear, while the French have said before that the Germans will never take French ships otherwise they will scuttle the fleet (something done in 1942 when France kept its word but not England )
No they weren’t, Yamato’s guns were better in Everest Yamato’s guns could penetrate up to 20-inches of steel, while Iowa could penetrate up to 18-inches of steel. Yamato’s shells carried 74.6 pounds of explosive, while Iowa’s shells carried 40.9 pounds of explosives Yamato had a shell dispersion of 440-550 yards at 26.1 miles, while Iowa had a shell dispersion of 600-800 yards at 23.6 miles.
If you went off of protection you'd have a close tie with Bismarck and Yamato. Bismarck with highest quality armour and protection with the exception of poor rudder/propeller protection. Yamato had the thickest armour (up to 2 feet thick on the main turret faces) and excellent flooding prevention scheme with around 1000 water tight compartments.
About Yamato, while her armor was thick, it was incredibly weak. Iowa was able to punch through it no problem during testing (at point-blank of course, range maybe not) and if she started flooding, there wasn't a very good way to stop it since her damage control was heavily outdated and not at all suited to keep a battleship of her size afloat while damaged.
@@ReapersKid07Yamato’s armor could resist her own guns from 21,800 to 31,800 yards, it’s a well documented fact. Post war testing with a 25.6-inch plate meant for Shinano proved it to be immune to all naval weaponry.

@@taba807 it is because the ship was launched in 1942 and had some service with it the Iowa is a ship that is over 70 years old but still looks new due to the refits
And Bismarck number 3, why is Bismarck always number three in these shitty tier list videos? It should go Richelieu Bismarck South Dakota Littorio Iowa Yamato
Lol srsly?! The warspite was near 30 years older than the Littorio, and lighters by near 12k tons... Littorio packs more punch, thicker armour and modern controls. I could understand if you said the King George 5 but no way a queen Elisabeth class is better than the Littorio. 😅
Littorio was a great ship, she had amazing armour, guns and speed that could rival Iowa, and that was in a smaller and more economic hull, it is obvious she was on the list. Warspite is good but no where near any of the ships on the list appart from if she attacked Richelieu from the stern then anyone is the worlds best ship, there's nothing there😂.
@@renown16 don’t get me wrong that Littorio stats as a battleship were great and she was a great threat to the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean but (similar to Tirpitz) she never got to show her worth and was contained for most of the war. That’s why I’d not have her on the list. It’s like for aircraft carriers I’d put Enterprise as one of the top ships even though (compared to an Essex class) she can’t carry as many aircraft or, until the refit, didn’t have as modern equipment
@@thefightingspitfire but the list is bases on stats, if it wasn't why is Iowa there she did nearly nothing, or Richelieu, or even Yamato to an extent, if it was your type of list it would be all the pre war ships, as they did the most.
i would have rated bismarck below littorio, littorios guns could have been sooo much better if their quality control was better. bismarcks issues were... 1st of all the sliding breach guns krupp insisted on keeping than the rotary screw breach basically all other nations where using on anything above 6 inch (127mm), secondly its electronics (radar primarily) broke from firing its main guns making her subsequent salvos needing optical range finding
@@TheGreatRimuruTempest just because it was in the Iowa class doesn’t mean it was the same as its sister ships, and btw NONE of the ships made much action besides the Wisconsin during Vietnamese war

6. Littorio Fate: sunk 5. Richelieu Fate: decomissioned 4. HMS vanguard Fate: decomissioned 3. KMS bismarck fate: sunk 2. IJN Yamato Fate: sunk 1. USS IOWA fate: retired and became a museum ship
There were only one other Japanese battleship like Yamato and there were four Iowa class battleships all with very competitive gun sizes while also being faster and have more sophisticated targeting systems
The Yamato should be first, in one vs one, he had the most fire power and the best armour... In frontal attack, the french advantage was to have her 8 main guns able to fire against mostly 6 for all the others...
Finally someone who is smart enough to put Iowa on first. Sorry but Yamato has just big cannons and armor and that's it. Iowa has the technology and more accurate cannons sorry weebs
Yamato was clearly stronger and overall better than Iowa, especially the guns on that behemoth were way more lethal when the target has been hit. I agree with everything else on this list.
well, the point is, Yamato is Stronger only if you compared both superficially. the armor not matter much, both can pen each other without problems, so the only notorius advantage of Yamato is gone. in firepower yamato shell have 24kg tnt equivalent, Iowa shell have 18kg of tnt. but Iowa's targeting systems were far superior. in RL Iowa have more chance of win that fight. but as always, luck plays a big role, one lucky shot can change everything, as happened with HMS Hood.
@@texaschi2920 while it says strongest it is talking about effectiveness aswell while having a large gun is good not have good sights is bad and while it would win the size and armament Side in this situation it is just not feasible so i think the placement is good
@@sturmtiger3802 First the only power of the IOWA was it's radars it's fire control systems were bad asf and needed those radar to perform mediocre salvoes, in terms of raw power IOWA had etrrible shells that needed 406 caliber to be satisfying and the hull was poorly armored compared to it's rivals like bismarck or YAMATO whereas YAMATO had good fire control systems that proved their efficincy since WW1 it had great torp resistance and thick bridge (took almost no bombs damage or torpedoes damage) and it has a devastating calibeer completed by amazing shells that could travel fast and far so compared to YAMATO IOWA only had it's tech in that time and in other aspect it was shit. Also yamato was sabotaged by japans and not truly sunk by americans. And the fact that your saying that planes shot it down means that americans were affraid to send IOWA on YAMATO proving YAMATO better than IOWA during WW2
Bismarck had inferior firepower to her counterparts such as KGV and Iowa despite much greater displacement, indicates inefficient design of the ship. Far from the best, its hype which continues to propagate this myth
Bismarck was very flawed, her guns were worse then thos of lower calibres, had mediocre armour and speed. She was worse then all the ships on the list.
@@KillerT-Boneyo Bismarck was far better they had top tier crew advanced aiming the literally 1 shot the Hood then scars off a other battleship then got targeted and faced off multiple aircraft waves by 15 aircraft it was also hit with many torpedoes and was still going I can say the bismark was the best of her time the Germans were at their prime of tech and making deadly stuff
@@renown16your trippn the bismark had amazing guns it 1 shot the HOOD and had top tier Germans running her and the bismark was on the faster side for battle ships
#1 The USS Iowa thank God she made it to #1 My family roots are within the past for this Awesome Battleship my uncle George Lange served on board of the USS Iowa and he has never been forgotten
lets not forget about the dunkerque , french battleship that got destroy by the british during the german invasion , just so the german cant use it agaisnt them
the bismarck was the strongest ship. It had armor on the walls which was almost 50 cm thick and the guns could penetrate about 6 steel decks on another warship. in one month it sank 25 british warships and it was able to withstand an attack of almost 30 ships for about 8 hours before finally sinking
HMS Vanguard was not finished until after the war. In my opinion, the best British battleships wouldbhave to be either Warspite of the Queen Elizabeth class or one of the King George IV class
I'm sorry about the Top 1 cuz I'm new here so please don't hate me❤

アイオワは他の船より近代の船なのでこの時代のランキングに入るのはおかしいですね
@@taba807 it is because the ship was launched in 1942 and had some service with it the Iowa is a ship that is over 70 years old but still looks new due to the refits
She's under the ocean mate
And Bismarck number 3, why is Bismarck always number three in these shitty tier list videos?
It should go
Richelieu
Bismarck
South Dakota
Littorio
Iowa
Yamato
The fact that Littorio is on this and HMS Warspite isn’t is a crime😂
i agree
Lol srsly?! The warspite was near 30 years older than the Littorio, and lighters by near 12k tons... Littorio packs more punch, thicker armour and modern controls. I could understand if you said the King George 5 but no way a queen Elisabeth class is better than the Littorio. 😅
Littorio was a great ship, she had amazing armour, guns and speed that could rival Iowa, and that was in a smaller and more economic hull, it is obvious she was on the list. Warspite is good but no where near any of the ships on the list appart from if she attacked Richelieu from the stern then anyone is the worlds best ship, there's nothing there😂.
@@renown16 don’t get me wrong that Littorio stats as a battleship were great and she was a great threat to the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean but (similar to Tirpitz) she never got to show her worth and was contained for most of the war. That’s why I’d not have her on the list. It’s like for aircraft carriers I’d put Enterprise as one of the top ships even though (compared to an Essex class) she can’t carry as many aircraft or, until the refit, didn’t have as modern equipment
@@thefightingspitfire but the list is bases on stats, if it wasn't why is Iowa there she did nearly nothing, or Richelieu, or even Yamato to an extent, if it was your type of list it would be all the pre war ships, as they did the most.
RIP HMS warspite. This boat survived half of WW1 And whole WW2 but right after the second war they immediately scraped that ship
Hms vanguard finished being built in 1946 and was scrap a wile later
I love the cruiser at the beginning❤
Top1 Yamato
Top2 Bismarck
Top3 Misuri
*Heavy cruiser has left the chat*
Nah but despite some of the inaccuracies it’s all good man keep making these please!! Just keep learning :)
i would have rated bismarck below littorio, littorios guns could have been sooo much better if their quality control was better. bismarcks issues were... 1st of all the sliding breach guns krupp insisted on keeping than the rotary screw breach basically all other nations where using on anything above 6 inch (127mm), secondly its electronics (radar primarily) broke from firing its main guns making her subsequent salvos needing optical range finding
Vanguard entered service 1946 a year after WW2 ended.
If only we builed the Alsace Battleship class
Yamato, mushashi, lowa, jersey, roodney, nagato, fuso, Montana, hood, king George in the world battleships
The Iowa part the picture wasn't Iowa that was missoiri.
It’s still the same Iowa class battle ship though
Missouri is an Iowa class.
They are Iowa class battleships
I wished battleships never became out of fashion they look sick
Nice to see the Iowa class up at the top. Tho I'm not sure why vanguard was in that list as it never saw ww2
アイオワと大和はライバルだと私は認識しています。
アイオワには高性能のレーダー 射撃精度 ダメージコントロールなどがありました
大和には世界最大の460ミリ砲と自身の砲に耐えうる装甲がありました
結果はカタログスペックだけでは判断できず実際に戦っていないので分かりません
アイオワは大和に複数発当てなければならず大和の砲弾一発でかなりの被害が出るでしょう
しかしアイオワの射撃精度は優秀であり大和に撃たれる前に何発当てられるかが勝負の分かれ目となるでしょう
夢物語ですが大和とアイオワが協力しあっていたら最強の艦隊が出来上がることでしょう
Good work good job nice
I agree with number one because iowas fire control was so much better and it was far more accurate than the Yamato could ever be
The USS Wisconsin should at least be in the top 3 it destroyed a mountain of artillery
👇
NJ sunk part of an island, plus it was only 1 gun on the mountain
The missuir and wisconsin are the same class so tenatly it also number 1
Pretty sure the Wisconsin thing was during the Korean War
Bro, they're still in the Iowa Class
@@TheGreatRimuruTempest just because it was in the Iowa class doesn’t mean it was the same as its sister ships, and btw NONE of the ships made much action besides the Wisconsin during Vietnamese war
nice music you picked
I think USS Washington was the best. The crew was legendary
main reason washington was as good as it was, was because of admiral lee, lee was a former sniper, he knew very well how to calculate projectile ballistics
@@Deilwynna he was also good at using North Carolina as a meat shield this is just a joke btw I came up with it after seeing that the Washington always came back with barely any damage meanwhile the North Carolina just took damage left and right
@@Deilwynna more that Lee’s background made him the perfect candidate to learn and master the ships gunnery systems, being Olympic sniper didn’t actually help the ship he was on target bette
@@redbaronace19North Carolina wasn’t in that battle. The meat shield was South Dakota.
@@collinwood6573 Just think about the Japanse for a second though
and apologies for the mistake I was confusing it because the USS north Carolina was the most decorated battleship in the US during ww2
it had the most battle stars out of any other US battleship
but lets take a look at the Kongo class battlecruisers or Fuso class or ISE class its crazy but
the Kongo class of course was Built by the UK to be delivered to japan still had battlecrusier armor in ww2
also common problem of the Italian and japanse navy
Radar? whats that we will just use our rangefinders
and for Japan that would be the Pagoda Mast
HMS vanguard is late battleship that completed 1 years after WW2 over
6. Littorio
Fate: sunk
5. Richelieu
Fate: decomissioned
4. HMS vanguard
Fate: decomissioned
3. KMS bismarck
fate: sunk
2. IJN Yamato
Fate: sunk
1. USS IOWA
fate: retired and became a museum ship
Littorio was decomissioned and scrapped.
@@newhope33 because the british give us an other ship. (I'm Italian)
POV you play warthunder and already know this
近代の船をトップ1にするのはおかしいのでは？自国が好きだからと言って自国の船をトップ1にするのはおかしいちゃんと判断してくださいアイオワは他の船より近代の船なのでこの時代のランキングに入れるのはおかしいと思いますこの時代のランキングで近代の船が1位になるのは当たり前ですとても反則です！
The Iowa was built during ww2
それでも建設されたのはどの船よりも後に作られました
それと近代改修された船なので1位になるのは当然で比べるのはおかしいです。不公平でおかしい
Mushashi, Nagato, Tirpitz, Prinz Eugen, Roma, Scharnhorst and more
Eugen was a cruiser, Musashi and Tirpitz are sisterships of the ones in the video
And iowa. Is half of yamato
I agrea
There were only one other Japanese battleship like Yamato and there were four Iowa class battleships all with very competitive gun sizes while also being faster and have more sophisticated targeting systems
@@dfsovcbnsoencsnvwviwekcfnwe you mean musashi?
The Yamato should be first, in one vs one, he had the most fire power and the best armour... In frontal attack, the french advantage was to have her 8 main guns able to fire against mostly 6 for all the others...
Well, The Iowa class was modernized during its time in service, The Current Iowa is now far more powerful than Yamato
It's the Yamato at the first
Yamato is the strongest and and most effective battleship that ever existed if i remember right
Bad steel quality bad optics so no
@@BogWarThunder one of the least effective you meant, it only sank 1 enemy ship, the gambier bay(Escort Carrier).
@@Im-getting-shadowbanned that’s contributive, not effective. But the yamato was a crap design for its time. Would’ve done well in ww1 though
USS Iowa, ordered in 1939, commissioned in 1943, finally deactivated in 1990.
Finally someone who is smart enough to put Iowa on first. Sorry but Yamato has just big cannons and armor and that's it. Iowa has the technology and more accurate cannons sorry weebs
Also the Iowa is still at the top of the see instead of the bottom
IJN excellent optics means Iowa’s advantages only come into effect in poor weather, otherwise it could go either way
Also yamato’s steel was garbage, like all other japanese steel at the time
Uss rizzi and uss gyatt
Yamato was clearly stronger and overall better than Iowa, especially the guns on that behemoth were way more lethal when the target has been hit.
I agree with everything else on this list.
well, the point is, Yamato is Stronger only if you compared both superficially.
the armor not matter much, both can pen each other without problems, so the only notorius advantage of Yamato is gone.
in firepower yamato shell have 24kg tnt equivalent, Iowa shell have 18kg of tnt. but Iowa's targeting systems were far superior.
in RL Iowa have more chance of win that fight. but as always, luck plays a big role, one lucky shot can change everything, as happened with HMS Hood.
Iowa is overall better than yamato, the only yamato has better is size
When England in the backround u see Poland 💀
U wanna talk Powerful obviously its Yamato on the 1st Position ‘cause of her Large Gun, U wanna talk technology then its Iowa ‘cause of her Radar
Yamato cannon turn are take a long time
not me completely vibing to the song instead of watching the short 🫣
top 1 is so wrong
@andhika firmansyah read the title: it says "WW2" so Yamato was the most powerful battleship of WW2 by the fact that it had the biggest cannon
@@texaschi2920 yet yoi cant use those large guns if you cant see what to hit nor the planes that killed it
@@sturmtiger3802 read the title of the video man
@@texaschi2920 while it says strongest it is talking about effectiveness aswell while having a large gun is good not have good sights is bad and while it would win the size and armament Side in this situation it is just not feasible so i think the placement is good
@@sturmtiger3802 First the only power of the IOWA was it's radars it's fire control systems were bad asf and needed those radar to perform mediocre salvoes, in terms of raw power IOWA had etrrible shells that needed 406 caliber to be satisfying and the hull was poorly armored compared to it's rivals like bismarck or YAMATO whereas YAMATO had good fire control systems that proved their efficincy since WW1 it had great torp resistance and thick bridge (took almost no bombs damage or torpedoes damage) and it has a devastating calibeer completed by amazing shells that could travel fast and far so compared to YAMATO IOWA only had it's tech in that time and in other aspect it was shit. Also yamato was sabotaged by japans and not truly sunk by americans. And the fact that your saying that planes shot it down means that americans were affraid to send IOWA on YAMATO proving YAMATO better than IOWA during WW2
The Yamato was the right ship for the wrong war
IJN Yamato The largest battleship in history and the most powerful 😎✊🏆🇹🇯
I'm uprised that the King George V Class Battleships were not on here.
Bro learned history in mcdonald's
random torpedo bomber appears
WE GETTING ADOF. D LUFFY ONTO THE SEAS🗣️🔥🔥
Missouri, Tirpitz, Musashi, Hood, Prince of Wales, Rodney, Vitorio Veneto and North Carolina
Technically, The Iowa class Battleships are noe the world's most powerful battleship ever in existence.
The Bismarck was the best battleship of her time But the jamato and the Iowa served longer
Bismarck had inferior firepower to her counterparts such as KGV and Iowa despite much greater displacement, indicates inefficient design of the ship. Far from the best, its hype which continues to propagate this myth
Iowa is the best. Last time I checked, Bismarck and Yamato were at the bottom of the ocean
Bismarck was very flawed, her guns were worse then thos of lower calibres, had mediocre armour and speed. She was worse then all the ships on the list.
@@KillerT-Boneyo Bismarck was far better they had top tier crew advanced aiming the literally 1 shot the Hood then scars off a other battleship then got targeted and faced off multiple aircraft waves by 15 aircraft it was also hit with many torpedoes and was still going I can say the bismark was the best of her time the Germans were at their prime of tech and making deadly stuff
@@renown16your trippn the bismark had amazing guns it 1 shot the HOOD and had top tier Germans running her and the bismark was on the faster side for battle ships
Sehr gut job on the video though sehr gut ich mag
#1 The USS Iowa thank God she made it to #1 My family roots are within the past for this Awesome Battleship my uncle George Lange served on board of the USS Iowa and he has never been forgotten
Proud of you, that you put Yamato on 2. Place and Iowa on 1. Yamato had outdated systems, so she wouldnt stand a Chance against Iowa
アイオワ近代改修されているのはズルい、当時と同じだとすると、スペック的に戦艦大和が1番強い
宇宙戦艦ヤマトを知らんのか貴様ら
Cool that the most powerful ship of WW2 is named after my state
lets not forget about the dunkerque , french battleship that got destroy by the british during the german invasion , just so the german cant use it agaisnt them
1. Bismarck
2 yamato
Bismarck getting robbed💀
The entire Iowa class should be top 1
USS IOWA + USS RIZZI +GYYAT=💥
I made a TikTok video on u lil bro
@@columba5627real?
if yamato had radar, or a carrier escort or even ANYTHING with decent AA defence, it would have survived to making to a the island
Then she would’ve beached herself
If… but it didn’t
Vanguard didn't even enter service during WW2
HMS Vanguard was commissioned in 1946.
the bismarck was the strongest ship. It had armor on the walls which was almost 50 cm thick and the guns could penetrate about 6 steel decks on another warship. in one month it sank 25 british warships and it was able to withstand an attack of almost 30 ships for about 8 hours before finally sinking
I’m going to assume this is a joke
@@knightblade0188 bismark was definitely better than any of your tea crumpet ships😹😹😹😹🤓🤓🤓🙏🙏
@@MoreMoneyMotivationDaily actually false
@@knightblade0188 it took thirty ships AND the crew detonating scheduling charges to bring the ship down
@@Ghost2ndamendment no it didn’t
Member that time were America put a nuclear arty shell on a battleship
HMS Vanguard was not finished until after the war.
In my opinion, the best British battleships wouldbhave to be either Warspite of the Queen Elizabeth class or one of the King George IV class
