Imperial Navy

The Imperial Japanese Navy was the only Navy in the world that could match the massive American Navy. While

Japan did sign the Washington Naval Treay, she almost immediately ignored the Treaty, producing massive battleships. The collapse of the American stockmarket would serve as a massive bolster for the Japanese economy, due to 40% of the Imperial Governments funding going into the navy.

As steel prices plummeted, the Japanese bought in such large bulks that the actual drop in steel price was cushioned by the scarity of it. Many of Japanese mid 1930s designed ships (primarily Kawachi, and Yamato), would have an ironically high amount of American produced steel inside them.

While a massive force in the beginning of the war, the relatively late adoption of a standardized Carrier class (Kamiho-class), would lead to the eventual defeat of the Japanese.
