*''Japanese'': 大日本帝国海軍 ''(dai nippon teikoku kaigun)''
The Imperial Japanese Navy, established in the [[Meiji period]], was the first modern/Western style national navy in Japanese history. Organized with the British Royal Navy as its model, the Imperial Japanese Navy possessed 28 modern warships in [[1894]], with a total displacement of 57,000 tons, a number of them constructed in England, plus 24 torpedo boats. Though initially headed by [[Katsu Kaishu|Katsu Kaishû]] (oft-regarded as the "father" or "grandfather" of the modern Japanese navy), many of the other top-ranking naval officials in the Meiji period were [[shizoku|former samurai]] of [[Satsuma han|Satsuma domain]].
Major military ports such as [[Kure]] and [[Sasebo]] were made able, from a very early point in the Meiji period, to house, arm, maintain, and repair modern warships.
