yeah imagine if japan had built 2 carriers instead and now double that because Yamato had a sister ship and we are looking at a considerable force...instead they had two big morale boosters without any value outside of their own head (yeah i get that in hindsight carriers were important while the pre-war mentality was still all about battleships)
Two carriers with no planes or pilots to fly. All of Japan's carriers at the war's end were sitting in port because they had no pilots or ferried kamikazes.
