Fleet Review - Kankanshiki

Japanese: 観艦式 - かんかんしき
Fleet Review - Kankanshiki
An event in which the head of state gathers his country's navy in one area to review it. It began in 1341 under King Edward III of England. Japan's first fleet review was held in 1868 off the coast of Tempozan, Osaka, with six ships totaling 2,450 tons of displacement, and in 1940 off the coast of Yokohama, with 98 ships and 527 aircraft. 17 such reviews were held before the start of World War II. After the war, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force also held a similar event, called a fleet review, with the Prime Minister acting as the reviewing officer and inspecting the Self-Defense Fleet.
