Description: This is a portrait of the Imperial Japanese Navy at the height of its power during the Second World War, as seen by U.S. Naval Intelligence. Originally compiled as a guide to recognition for Allied forces, it takes the form of a concise encyclopedia of Japanese warships - from battleships and aircraft carriers to landing craft and auxiliaries - each class or ship comprehensively illustrated and described.
The naval battles of the Pacific War were titanic, with large numbers of warships in action on each side. Throughout the war, there were many fleets, squadrons and battle groups at sea at any one time; it was therefore vital that a ship spotted on the horizon or from an aircraft should be recognized at once as friend or foe. This book was prepared with that end in mind, to be carried on patrol and in action by U.S. warships.
The result, however, is much more than a mere identification manual; in effect it is a pictorial encyclopedia of the Japanese Navy. With more than 2,000 illustrations, the pictorial content makes this the most comprehensive one-volume visual account of the Japanese Navy ever published.
Each of the major warships and each class of the lesser vessels is shown in photographs of the real thing and/or shots of beautifully made models. For the more significant ships, there are multiple views, demonstrating the appearance of the ship when seen from various angles and from the air; and each is also depicted in a tinted set of profile and plan drawings. A data table for each class lists the vital statistics, including displacement, dimensions, armament, speed, endurance, machinery, etc., and there is also a special section detailing the tactics and organization of Japanese landing operations.
