They had great pilots and great aircraft at the start of the war, but by the time Yamato was sunk it was all gone. They didn't even have enough fuel for a round trip - they were going to ground her and use her as a fixed gun emplacement.

A handful. Nowhere near enough. The Battle of Midway wiped out the bulk of them. The Zero rapidly became obsolete, too.
