Is the IJN of WW2 the most overrated navy in history?
>1st major naval engagement
>strategic loss
>2nd major naval engagement
>lose the entire carrier fleet
Mind you, the IJN had numerical superiority in all battles and overall until 1943.

The ships were pretty good, the tactics and planning not so much, not to mention the americans partially decrypted their code rather early in the war
All of the IJA was almost as bad as the Italian Royal Army.

That's nice, but I don't think the IJA qualifies as the most overrated navy.

Well of all the Axis Powers they were the only ones who have a good navy.
Also the Jap navy seems to be more advanced than it's European counterparts by that point. Isnt the Britshit navy still a fucking battleship force with only one aircraft carrier?

No, why would you think that? Have you literally never read a book? Are you incapable of googling? Please explain.
