Operation Ten-ichi-go, April 6-7, 1945 
 
As more bombs miss the ship, Yamato plows forward at apparently reduced speed, judging from the width of the wake.

The aft deck is obscured by the fire caused by the explosion of the aft 6" secondary turret.

White dots above and around the ship appear to be AAA explosions; smoke alongside the starboard side indicates that the .25 cal anti-aircraft machine guns are still firing; they will be largely silenced by upcoming attacks.
