--The Design A-150 battleships are the 798th and 799th ships planned by the Fifth Replenishment Plan envisioned in the late 1930s.
――The ship type is not a completely new design, but an enhanced development type of the Yamato-class battleship.
――In the original plan, the Super Yamato battleship was planned to be equipped with three 51 cm triple turrets, but it is difficult to design and manufacture the 51 cm triple turret, and the twin turrets are used to reduce the weight. It will be adopted.
--The main gun was developed under the name of [Trial Instep Gun], and in 1942 the main parts including the two barrels were said to have progressed until just before assembly, but the importance of aircraft warfare in World War II. Due to the end of the large-barreled cannon principle and the deterioration of the battlefield due to the demonstration of the above, the construction plan of the super-Yamato type battleship itself was canceled, so the war ended without being completed.
――Some documents describe that the completed barrel was requisitioned by the US military after the war.
