Ah... sorry mate,
the Japanese man of war IS a battleship, the most famous being the Chitose; a world war two battleship.
The Portugese Man of war is a jellyfish:

Are you confusing Japanese with Portuguese Man of War which is a jellyfish.
In a list of jellyfish no Japanese one could be found, only Portuguese Man of War.
I think the Japanese Man of War is a battleship.

There's a jellyfish called a Portugese Man O War, but I've never heard of a Japanese Man O War. Hope this helps

The Portugese man of war jellyfish has little fish in it called man of war fish. The Japanese Man of War was a battleship named "Chitosa"

Well if you search you may find that its both, depending on how you search, I have found references to Japanesse Man of War as a armoured boat and Man of War Jellyfish.
So you both may be right.

The jellyfish is the Portuguese man of war. I haven't heard of a Japanese one.

You are correct! The Japanese Man-O-War is a jelly-fish and is closely related to the Portuguese Man-O-War. Both species are HIGHLY toxic and their sting is invariably deadly if not taken care of within the first 10 minutes of being stung.
