  • The Imperial Japanese Navy (Kyûzitai: 大日本帝國海軍, Sinzitai: 大日本帝国海軍) or IJN, officially the Navy of the Greater Japanese Empire, was the naval force of Japan from 1869 to 1947. In the Call of Duty series, it is an enemy faction, fought in Call of Duty: World at War in the Pacific War, though much less frequently than its counterpart, the Imperial Japanese Army. It is not a playable multiplayer faction. Officers and soldiers of the IJN can be encountered in certain levels. Officers can be easily identified by the white tropical uniform they wear.
  • The origins of the Imperial Japanese Navy can be traced to the early interactions with the nations in Asia, Which dates back to the medieval period and reaches its peak during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries , a time of cultural exchange with European powers during the Age of Discovery. After two centuries of stagnation during the isolation policy advocated by shoguns of Edo period, Japan's navy was comparatively obsolete when the country was forced to open up to foreign trade, due to the intervention of U.S. in 1854. Eventually, this led to Meiji Restoration. Following the reassertion of imperial power, was followed by a period of frantic modernization and industrialization.

  • The Imperial Japanese Navy's role in the invasion and conquest of Hawaii in December 1941 was critical. It was only through the efforts of Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto and Commander Minoru Genda of the IJN that the invasion was made possible. Naval pilots, under Mitsuo Fuchida quickly gained superiority of the air and sea by destroying Pearl Harbor and the American ships and planes located there. With the air and sea secure, it was relatively simple matter for the Japanese army to conquer the island of Oahu and break American military resistance. In June 1942, the Navy, again under the leadership of Yamamoto, beat back an attempted invasion by the United States. Nonetheless, tension between the Imperial Navy and the Army was constant, as each believed itself to be the only arm of the military to be capable of expanding the empire. The IJN received its first major defeat in 1943 when the United States broke the fleet patrolling Hawaii and shot down most the planes on the islands. Prominent leaders Rear Admiral Tomeo Kaku, Commander Mitsuo Fuchida, and Commander Minoru Genda all died in that invasion.

Eventually, this led to Meiji Restoration. Following the reassertion of imperial power, was followed by a period of frantic modernization and industrialization. The history of the imperial navy's successes, sometimes against very powerful enemies, as in Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War, Ended in almost complete annihilation during the last days of WWII. Largely thanks to the U.S Navy (USN). In 1947, the IGN was formally dissolved, opening path to the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.
