*Random history fact: The Allies did not know the true size of Yamato guns until 1946-47. Until then we through she had 14 or 16 inch guns at max...

No, they were more or less aware of the ships overall size and gun caliber by 1944. When debating about whether going to blow her up with a battleline on her last sortie they specifically talked about her heavier armament in briefings. The main reason it even took that long was because, frankly, the ships never really DID anything until 1944 so they didn't really have clear images or reports to make assessments with.
