The Official WWII IJN Ship & Plane List

Since we've seen a surge of IJN ships on here recently (thanks to the amazing drawings of BB1987), here's a list of the major IJN ships that served (or would have served) in World War II. The planes listed are only those that saw front-line service.

All drawings can be found on the new main website. Completed, In Progress, Someone plans to do it, and a drawing exists, but a redrawing is planned. Anything else is fair game. The SB-scale IJA Aircraft chart can be found here, and the SB-scale IJN Aircraft chart here.
