Did the battleship Yamamoto in WW2 sink when it's clip was penetrated by bombs dropped by American aircraft? Nope. The bombs penetrated its magazine, a defined area and purpose of a military vessel.
The name of the Japanese Battleship was YAMATO. On April 7, 1945 she was sunk by American carrier-based bombers and torpedo bombers with the loss of most of her crew.
The name of the Japanese Admiral was Isoroku YAMAMOTO. Yamamoto (the man) was killed by P-38 Lightnings when he was visiting Bougainville, Territory of New Guinea, on April 18, 1943 when Rex Barber shot down the Betty in which Yamamoto was a passenger.
