My take on a modernized yamato-class
what if the yamato was never sent to operation ten-go and nagato took her place instead this continues on untill the war ends with the yamato being a us war trophy it continues to be that way until it is re-aquired by japan in 1962 just years after the japan self defense force is established since battleships became obsolete and replaced by aircraft carriers japan used yamato as a defense ship as battleships became part of the jmsdf as a defensive weapon in the japanese constitution's article 9 as it was used as a defense ship it continues on untill 1986 to 1992 before yamato got her final modernization
the yamato's old engine and boilers are replaced by new engine and boilers with a gas turbine egine for a (COSAG) combined steam and gas layout to increase stability buldges are added for torpedo defense and stability
