Looking for records of japanese warships during WWII?

Question

Just wondering if there is such records where these ships sank during the war.

Answer 1

Is this what you are looking for, it tells the name of the ship and it's fate, and also the date it was lost or however it met its end. Hope this helps.

Several ships given here have some hinagana syllabic signs -- such as -- written with their names. These are part of the dictionary rendering of the words, but the names themselves customarily are given in just characters, without hiragana -- although on Japanese warships the entire name was usually written in hiragana below the characters on the stern. The hiragana here can be recognized because no Chinese prounciation is given below it.

Answer 2

*sigh* a number of those comments are so unhappy and unproductive. you may understand that no longer all jap individuals are nationalist lunatics. THERE ARE jap historians and instructors who believe that jap infantrymen did dedicate those conflict crimes and that they are against educational censorship by employing their authorities. Germany is very sparkling with regard to the activities of the Holocaust and that they have got museums dedicate to the Holocaust. although i'm no longer asserting they jap authorities has to try this, yet are not they receiving extra warmth by employing beginning up this censorship? I propose, it rather is the 1st element that pops up in google for god sakes.
