Anybody else recently catch that episode of NOVA on PBS, ? It was about the construction, service and sinking of the Yamato, and was a fascinating story. One of the most interesting facts is that no single complete set of blueprints for the ship still exist, because it was constructed under such secrecy, and they were ordered destroyed when the ship was sunk. Reconstructing it for shows (and models and this movie) are a somewhat speculative effort because of this.
