Battleship Yamato, is the Japanese Navy a joke or a pride?

Personally, I thought it was a joke. I spent all the efforts of the whole country to create two of them, but they had almost no results. It sank in the first battle.

It was nicknamed Yamato Hotel at that time.

The Yamato Musashi can be said to have lagged behind this era when it was designed. During World War II, all battleships struggled to achieve good results in the shadow of aircraft carriers.
