"His reason is that this is a deception to other nations to underestimate the performance of Yamato, as the proposed budget is available to other nations." edit

An editor put that in before the last sentence. I removed it because:

I don't remember that. Granted that means nothing, but still.
It seems supremely unlikely that Japan (or anyone) would agree to give other nations the cost of any ship. The tonnage yes, under the Washington Naval Treaty. I've read about that treaty and don't recall any mention of cost reporting.
The Yamato was built after the Washington Naval Treaty had been revoked, anyway. And it's not like there were any other treaties then in effect.

Archimedes edit

Someone put in at the end of the lede that the movie refers to Archimedes quote "'give me a lever and a place to stand, and I shall move the earth,' as a metaphor for the cost and impact of such a large project." With no ref, I wonder if this is just someone's speculation.

I think we need a ref for that. Sounds like somebody's guess. I myself figured that it referred to the gold-crownm displacement thing, or that the star was like Archimedes, or it just sounded cool. So let's get a ref before putting anything in. Herostratus (talk) 02:24, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
