The end of Senkan Musashi Part 2

5) Musashi in trouble. Low in the water, trailing smoke and oil.

6) Air Attack: Some bombs miss--most of them hit

8) Multiple torpedo hits

9) Game Over:

The last picture ever taken of Senkan Musashi , just before she rolled over and sank.
A few months later Senkan Yamato came second in a fight with a squadron of HellCat dive-bombers. Neither ship ever got a chance to use her big guns in anger.

So what do we learn from this?
