# Wartime Naval Armaments Supplement Programme

The Wartime Naval Armaments Supplement Programme (マル戦計画, 昭和十八年度戦時艦艇建造計画, Maru Sen Keikaku, Shōwa-Jūhachi-Nendo Senji Kantei-Kenzō Keikaku) was the 1943-44 War Programme to fund further wartime armaments expansion plans of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN).

## Background

Due to shifting wartime circumstances, the IJN focused on the construction of auxiliary and escort ships. As a result, the Wartime Naval Armaments Supplement Programme lacked any major warships capable of offensive operations.
