Admiral Seiichi Ito

Admiral Seiichi Ito was the last captain of the battleship Yamato in the WWII. Mitsuru Yoshida wote down the other famous book on the battleship "Death of YAMATO ".
There are many sad tales on this book. I was interested in the discussion to start "Kamikaze" in the Imperial Navy. Chief Ohnishi analyzed
- There were the huge gap of the air forces.
- The gap of the fighting skills was critical.
- US Navy had the strong radar already.
The Imperial Navy finally decided that it's impossible to fight with ordinal tactics and agreed with Chief Ohnishi's opinion.
I was also interested in the decision of "Kamikaze by the battleship Yamato." The Imperial Navy had planned to use large guns for the defense of the main land. However, the Imperial Navy decided the symbol of the "Kamikaze by All Citizens" on fighting in the main land. It's stupid.
