The World War II battleship IJN Yamato received this nickname during the Solomon Islands’ Campaign.
“Hotel”. Yamato was one of the largest battleships in the world. She got dubbed “Hotel Yamato” because between August 1942 and May 1943 she took no part in the fighting and only left the base at Truk once and just for one day.
