	Imperial Japanese Navy Air Force in WWII
		The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Force was very conservative and, consequently, many of their operating practices and tactics in World War Two were those which they had adopted from the Royal Navy twenty years before.
		With the debut of the first Japanese aircraft carrier in the 1920s, the IJNAF was initially tied to the battleships as some sort of reconnaissance and attack element, but like the U.S. Navy, the IJN had real difficulty integrating them into their tactics.
		The Imperial Japanese Army Air Force fought with the IJNAF up until about mid-Summer, but then their remaining aircraft in the Home Islands were mostly grounded and kept in reserve against the expected invasion of the Home Islands.

		A strong navy would allow the United States to command the oceanic approaches to the continent and prevent European powers from threatening the United States or the Western Hemisphere and would also allow the United States to play a more forceful role in the Far East, keeping open the door of commercial opportunity.
