Talk:List of ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy

Untitled
For some reason, if you type the exact name of this page into the search box, it does not take you to the article. A Google search only yields the United States Navy ship list. Someone with linking knowledge should correct this.

Mysterious cruisers
This page had these ships in the list of cruisers: Kamo was a merchant ship. I couldn't find any sources referring to Kizu or Nayoro. So I took them out. Gdr 21:25, 2004 Nov 15 (UTC)
 * Kamo
 * Kizu
 * Nayoro

Uncertain types of 1st class submarines
I edited the first class submarines list but there were several uncertain types. So I removed them temporarily, but if You know, revert them please.


 * KRS type Kiraisen type?
 * L4 type L type was the old 2nd class.
 * B4 type S49A? but it was the plan only.
 * C4 type S49B? but it was the plan only.
 * ST type Toku type(=Sentoku) or Senkou type? (Sentaka was misreading of Senkou)
 * SH type Senho type?
 * TK type Toku type?

Incorrect Link (Akitzuki class DD)
Even though I'm not an expert at Japanese warships, I could find an obvious error with this page. For example, Akizuki class destroyers in this page means those used in WW2, however, the link points to those built after the end of WW2. These two classes are absolutely different, even though they are using the same name (For example, CV Enterprise in WW2 is a different one from the nuclear carrier Enterprise).

Almeida?
If she's class ship, why does her page list Momi as Matsu-class...? And what happened to the 1915 Momos? confusedsailorman 03:37 & 05:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Sparviero class - Patrol vessels
This is correct here? Sparviero class is younger a bit than the IJN or not? --188.142.193.35 (talk) 22:53, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose to merge List of early warships of Japan into List of ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The former is merely a duplicate of the latter's Medieval warships section; there's no need for a stand-alone list with only 4 entries which are already covered here. Pinging and, who proposed the early warships article for deletion for this reason about a year ago, as well as  who objected to the proposed deletion.

I also wonder, but this is unrelated to the merge, how the distinction between 'medieval' and 'early modern' is defined. For example, the San Juan Bautista, listed as medieval, is literally described as a Western-style sail warship, which is itself a subsection of the early modern section.

 * I've performed the merge. I've also renamed the Medieval warships section to Early warships as 'medieval' doesn't mean anything in a Japanese context. Lennart97 (talk) 19:19, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

More info + new format
I think a straight list lacks usefulness so I converted to tables. Starting with the Battleship section, see how it goes. Hungrydog55 (talk) 00:21, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

1st pass at new format for destroyers
Hi, everyone. In the spirit of my previous post, I have reformatted the first bunch of destroyers. See what you think. If anyone feels like doing some casual proofreading, by all means have at it. Hungrydog55 (talk) 02:57, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
