Imperial Japan:
The gigantic lathe which was installed at Kure Naval Arsenal in 1938 and produced the 18" guns used by the Yamato-class battleships.

A massive lathe believed to have been used to fashion the main guns of Japan's mighty World War II battleship Yamato was in danger of becoming a rusting relic until a crowdfunding raised the initial target of 100 million yen ($876,500)--in just a single day.

The city government here mounted the fund-raising drive in August and by Sept. 30 had raised a whopping 269.48 million yen from 6,626 interested parties.

City officials are now setting their sights on the best way to exhibit the lathe at the Kure Maritime Museum, also known as Yamato Museum, based on feedback from contributors. Nov 2021
