Every Warship of the Imperial Japanese Navy: 1885-1918

In 1853, American warships sailed into Tokyo Bay and Japan had no answer. Fifty years later, Japan annihilated one of the most powerful fleets on earth at the Battle of Tsushima. This is the story of every ship that made that possible, and the ones Japan took home when it was over. From the first cruisers ordered from British yards in the 1880s to the super-dreadnoughts of the First World War era, this video covers all 37 warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy between 1885 and 1918. Protected cruisers, armored cruisers, pre-dreadnoughts, the prize ships captured from Russia, and the dreadnought revolution that changed everything.
