The Imperial Japanese Nave (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, the IJN had proven itself a formiddable opponent to both the british and russian navies.An example being its victory at the tsushima strait against the well-trained Russian baltic fleet.
