AA guns
Musashi did not have "36" 25 mm antiaircraft guns. That would have been an absurdity in 1944. By then she had 130 of them.
Unfortunately the 25 mm was a very poor weapon, especially compared to the excellent 40 mm Bofors on US ships. Musashi, like all Imperial Japanese Navy ships, was wholly incapable of mounting a credible AA defense.
