Imperial Japanese Navy
We are based in Kure (Naval Base), Yokosuka (Naval Base and Aresenal), Sasebo (Naval District), Maizuru (Naval District), and Onimato (Naval District) wtih a fleet of surface and aerospace ships whose prefixes can be either "IJN" or "YIN", in addition we also have a fleet air arm that is present on both surface and aerospace ships.

Aerospace Fleet Formations
YIN's Aerospace Fleet Formation are made firstly with defence in mind, as a result, most formations are committed to defence rather then offence. In addition, there are also many non existent fleet formations that are only put together for special purposes.

Grand Fleet=

If the Grand Fleet formation for YIN aerospace units has been formed, you can rest assured that we're either running away or going all out in a attack. But basically, it means every aerospace ship has been put in this formation.

Amount: 0

Consists of:
 * 5 Kami Light Aerospace Fortresses;
 * 15 Amaburi Heavy Aerospace Cruisers ;
 * 25 KG-7 Areion Heavy Aerospace Frigates;
 * 50 (5) KG-6 Sureipunīru Light Aerospace Frigates;
 * 1 Kageryu MK II Command Vessel;


 * -|Combined Task Force=

A general, multi-purpose but larger then the usual Naval District Defence/Offence Unit that is usually formed for a dedicated offensive or special defines situations.

Amount: 0

Consists of:
 * 1-4 Kami Light Aerospace Fortresses;
 * 3-15 Amaburi Heavy Aerospace Cruisers;
 * 5-20 KG-7 Areion Heavy Aerospace Frigates;
 * 10-50 KG-6 Sureipunīru Light Aerospace Frigates;


 * -|Naval District Defence/Offensive Unit=

A dedicated aerospace fleet present with every naval district, it is usually employed in defence duties, however, if the situation arises, they could also be used for offence.

Amount: 5

Consists of:
 * 1 Kami Light Aerospace Fortresses
 * 3 Amaburi Heavy Aerospace Cruisers;
 * 5 KG-7 Aerion Heavy Aerospace Frigates;
 * 10 KG-6 Sureipunīru Light Aerospace Frigates;


 * -|City Defence Unit=

A concept that came out after CN's attacks on out cities with nukes, it was a question that if there were already flying ships on the scene beforehand, the nukes could have been shot down, and so City Defence Units were created.

Amount: 1(13)


 * 1KG-7 Aerion Heavy Aerospace Frigates;
 * 4 KG-6 Sureipunīru Light Aerospace Frigates;

Yamamoto Imperial Army
The Yamamoto Imperial Army (YIA), is the land striking/defensive force of Yamamoto Imperial Republic Japan. It is split up into 5 districts, each with it's own offensive and defensive divisions. Due to the fact that most of the funding goes to the navy, the YIA at this point is a little wonky.

Yamamoto Imperial Air Force
The Yamamoto Imperial Air Force (YIAF) is much more organized then the Army at this time, at least most of the time. Currently, the ground based air units are mostly modernized but stiff opposition with the naval based air units over modernization and all the changes that would have to be made to aircraft carriers and etc. This branch is divided into the standard Air Force and the Naval Air Force.

Ceremonial
These aircraft are ones used by Japanese forces during the Second World War and are used for airshows across the nation.
