Category:Japanese Navy ship names

This category is for pages about names used more than once in any Japanese Navy (the Imperial Japanese Navy or the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force). Only shipindex pages should be included in this category. Individual ships (including those that are the only one to bear the name) should instead be categorised in Category:Ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy or Category:Ships of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force or the relevant subcategory for the type of vessel.
