First Pacific Fleet

The First Pacific Fleet was a major naval formation of the Imperial Japanese Navy, active from 1903 until World War II. It served as a key component of Japan’s maritime forces, responsible for defending vital sea areas and projecting power in the Pacific region. The fleet played a crucial role in Japan's military operations during wartime, eventually being involved in significant battles during World War II. After Japan's defeat, the fleet was disbanded, and its ships and personnel were either demobilized or integrated into modern naval forces.
