Description: This article examines the role of submarines within the strategy of the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1917 until 1941. It argues that the common characterisation of Japan's naval strategy as outdated and erroneous in light of the First World War undervalues the development of Japan's submarine fleet, which was critical to the development of the navy throughout the interwar period. Indeed, few scholarly works actually deal with this significant component in the Japanese Navy, leaving a legacy that is often undercontextualised and misunderstood.
