A brief history of the battleship Musashi

The battleship Musashi was the sister ship to the renowned Yamato and one of the largest warships ever built. It was launched in 1940, entered service in 1942 and served actively until it was sunk in October 1944 during the Battle of Leyte, one of the largest naval engagements in history. Its main task was to protect strategic sea routes and provide cover for Japanese aircraft carriers. The vessel stood out due to its powerful armament — including 460 mm caliber guns — and armor that was intended to make it practically unsinkable.
