Yep. Same for the Bismark. It was always the rudder. One torpedo from unlikely torpedo planes took out the rudders on both the Bismark and the Yamato. From there it just became a matter of attrition from the aircraft.
Not too sure about the exact cause of demise for the Musashi, though I am certain that it was indeed aircraft as well. It's the reason why aircraft carriers feature so prominently in the US Navy these days.
