The night war was the tactic that the Japanese
Navy was best at, and as a powerful means
for the inferior navy to win, they conducted
intense training for many years, the artistic
power and various equipment reached an
outstanding level in the world. Among them,
the big element was the effective use of the
search light. The pictures posted here are
scenes of irradiation in the night battle, and it
seems that it was a scene from the battleship
Mutsu except for the lower right page.

(part 2)
It was the Assault attack by the Underwater Mine Squadron
which makes the leading role of the Japanese Navy's night
warfare. Although the destructive power of the torpedo
squadron has further increased by the development of the
ninety three form oxygen torpedo, alertness of the US fleet
axle form has been strict due to the increase of 10,000 tons
heavy ship, and breakthrough of this has become a problem .
For this reason, various tactics and tactics were devised, and
immediately before the war, the night fighting by the large
fleet was confirmed with confidence.
