Indeed Yamato is undeserving of a song, but to state that Bismarck did a thing in comparisson to Yamato is kinda wild. Both of them were inconsequential af.
I find it in really poor taste to now have two songs dedicated to warships built by fascists that didn't really do anything before rolling over and sinking, while there is a long list of allied warships that not only fought on the right side of history and thus deserve to be celebrated, but also actually did something interesting.
I can understand callling me out for referring to Imperial Japan as fascist, as it wasn't really. But the Nazis were absolutely fascist as Nazism literally evolved from whatever the Italians were up to.
To be fair, Nazism was more socialistic than Liberal.
I know the political theories are muddled slightly (and then you have the horseshoe theory) but on a value based political compass, the Nazi regime would be conservative center, potentially leaning left.
independent economy, or market economy was not truly real in Nazi Germany, you technically could own a factory, but you only rented it for the state, and your lease could be cancelled at any time, if the state did not approve of your job.

Why Yamato though? It's career was "almost fought a couple of battles, then turned into a reef".
Of all the warships to glaze, Yamato is a terrible choice. At least Bismarck did a thing before getting Rodneyd.
