Talk:Imperial Japanese Navy bases and facilities

Is this list necessary?
IJN "bases" and "facilities" ranged in size from installations comprising several thousand acres to individual buildings. There were somewhere in the neighborhood of five hundred of them. Also complicating the problem is that the Japanese Navy had a much looser definition of what constituted a "base" than did the U.S. Navy and the Royal Navy. What information there is in this list is in many cases incorrect. I recommend deleting this article.Oldbubblehead (talk) 06:01, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
