The '''Imperial Japanese Navy''' ('''IJN''') was Japan's navy during the Imperial era (late 1800s to 1945) and was one of the most powerful navies of its time. Although the IJN was eventually beaten by the [[US Navy]] in [[World War II]], the IJN had proven itself a formidable opponent to both the British and [[Russian]] navies.  An example of its effectiveness was its smashing victory at Tsushima Strait against the well-trained Russian Baltic fleet, in the final battle of the [[Russo-Japanese War]].
