Sinking The Supership是PBS的NOVA系列中的一集，讲的是二战超级巨舰“大和号”(YAMATO)沉没的历史。一批研究者聚集在一起，用潜水机器人潜入大洋深处探索了这艘巨舰的坟墓。在安静的坟墓中，研究者们看到了大和号残躯舰艏的直径达两米的帝国菊花纹章，这是大和号的标志，因为只有大和号上的菊花纹章才有两米的直径。
The largest battleship ever built was conceived less as a practical weapon, than as a symbol of national prestige. When the Yamato left on her final, suicidal mission, the admirals spoke of "honor" and "immortal glory." But no one speaks for the thousands of men entombed in her wreckage. We do not know their thoughts as they died.
