The battleship Yamato's main guns were nine 46 cm (18.1 in)/45 caliber Type 94 naval guns, the largest guns ever fitted to a warship. These powerful cannons were arranged in three triple-gun turrets and fired shells with significant armor-piercing and destructive capabilities, although they were rarely tested against enemy battleships and proved ill-equipped for aerial warfare, despite the development of Type 3 anti-aircraft shells.
