| Impressive. Wonder how many man-hours went into that. Couple of questions though. I'll show my ignorance of ships here so bear with me. What is this on the port and starboard aft? Is this just a large door for machinery maintenance?

| ...and what are these gun-less armoured turrets used for. There appear to be multiple types and locations.

| Cool model. Luckily for the US, the Japanese built Yamato, Musashi, and the bastardized Shinano rather than 10 more Shokakus...

Thanks, K9. I had guessed the gunless turrets were AA directors, but assumed that there would have been obvious optics exposed. They seemed too... armoured, I guess.
