No Mike, sorry. Although there is some very summary stuff on major country production in there. I got hooked into that site because I was stationed out in the western Pacific and have been diving most of the key Islands in the battles ever since. When I dove Truk (Chuuk for the purists) and ran across one of the Yamato's projectiles in the cargo hold of a transport, I wanted to find out more. About that shell: The Yamato was the largest Battleship ever made, the main guns fired a 3,200 lb (18.1 inch diameter) projectile, 26 miles! Read about her to see the ignominious death. Regards, Ice
