At random: Robert Fulton, inventor of the steamboat, was an avid submarine enthusiast. He built several submersible warships, one of which was known as the Nautilus. |

I tried to find it on NetFlix but they don't have it.

Master and Commander Posts: 1608 | Subject: RE: Last Battle Of Yamato YouTube Videos Looks like it was made in 2005, according to IMBd.com. I'm amazed the way people can find goofs in these movies. Plot summary: Makiko Uchida arrives in a southern Japanese port hoping to find a boat that will take her to the final resting place of the Battleship Yamato on the 60th anniversary of its sinking. She is rebuffed by all until she reveals to Katsumi Kamio that she is the daughter of Petty Officer Uchida. Kamio is surprised for he thought unlike himself, Uchida had been lost when the Yamato was besieged and sunk on April 7, 1945 by American aircraft which prevented its fulfilling a final suicide mission against the American fleet battling to capture Okinawa. Kamio and Uchida were part of a close set of comrades that proudly and bravely served on board this, the largest battleship ever constructed. He agrees to journey with Makiko with only the help of Atsushi, a 15 year old deckhand. As he pilots the way throughout the rough 15 hour journey Kamio reminiscences about life aboard the Yamato during the war and also about the sailor's mothers and girlfriends left back home Factual errors: The ship is seen firing salvos from its main batteries aimed at approaching US aircraft on several occasions, while lots of the crew are visible on deck, manning the light AA guns as well as performing other duties. While the big guns were in fact used fending off aircraft, at least during the last battle off Okinawa, the shock wave from the blast of the nine 456 mm barrels (the biggest ever on a warship) could kill or severely injure an unprotected sailor, it was therefore forbidden to remain on deck on such occasions. Continuity: If you look carefully at the aircraft during the battle scene, several Avengers (torpedo bombers) and Hellcats (fighters) switch places with a single-seat, bubble canopied aircraft with round wing and vertical stabilizer ends. The aircraft that best fits the "mystery" plane is a P-47, which was never a US Navy fighter plane, and certainly wasn't used during the aerial attacks on Yamato and her group on April 7th, 1945. Hellcats and Avengers both had square wing- and vertical stabilizer tips. Revealing mistakes: Most of the 25mm AA guns do not recoil when fired. Neither do the guns of the 5" batteries Edited by Gil 2009-07-04 9:54 PM | ||
