Combined Fleet 联合舰队


- For the "Carrier Striking Task Force", see Kido Butai.
The Combined Fleet(联合舰队 Rengō Kantai) was the main ocean-going component of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Until 1933, the Combined Fleet was not a permanent organization, but a temporary force formed for the duration of a conflict or major naval maneuvers from various units normally under separate commands in peacetime.
