Japanese and American industry were very different. America was building more warships and tanks at such a good rate, that Japan was mostly unable to rival American industry. Also, Japan had a very short supply of steel and oil compared to the US. The solution was simple: Japan would build larger warships with larger guns to compensate for their smaller numbers. The result was the construction of the Japanese Yamato-class battleships, the largest battleships ever built in the history of humanity. These behemoths could fire rounds that were 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter that weighed as much as a car, the largest naval guns ever. However, the Japanese were not known for their anti-aircraft armament on their ships, and the Americans were able to exploit that factor. All Yamato-class ships were sunk by American aircraft. These events proved battleships to be obsolete (battleships are not built today) and that the aircraft carrier would be the dominant force in future navies. Japan could never again recover from their losses in the war. Most of their ships were sunk and experienced pilots were killed in action. In short, US industry was able to mass produce at a much greater rate than Japanese industry because they didn't have easy access to resources like steel or oil.
