The film, set in World War II, depicts the story of the real-life Japanese battleship, the Yamato, which is confronted in the Pacific Ocean by giant monsters, including the most fearsome of them all, Reigo.
Yoko, Vic and Paul are kidnapped by Kazuky's men and taken to his underwater base of operations, grafted onto the Yamato wreck.
It is nicknamed the Yamato Museum due to the display in the lobby of the large model ship Yamato Hiroba, a 1/10 scale model of the Japanese battleship Yamato (see image at right).
