The Imperial Japanese Navy of World War II was administered by the Ministry of the Navy of Japan and controlled by the Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff at Imperial General Headquarters.
In order to combat the numerically superior American navy, the IJN devoted large amounts of resources to creating a force superior in quality, the objective being of"making up for quantity by means of quality". Consequently, at the beginning of World War II, Japan probably had the most sophisticated Navy in the world.
This volume covers the early wartime battleships, with numerous photos, 3D artwork and line drawings.
