The Chinese Navy 1940's #4322906
Description
The Chinese Navy is the maritime branch of the Republic of China Armed Forces. The ROC Navy's primary mission is to defend ROC territories. The precursor to the modern ROC Navy was established as the Ministry of the Navy in the Provisional Government of the Republic of China in 1911 following the overthrow of the Qing dynasty. During the period of warlord-ism that scarred China in the 1920's and 1930's the ROCN remained loyal to the Kuomintang government of Sun Yat-sen instead of the warlord government in Beijing. During World War II, the ROCN concentrated mainly on riverine warfare as the poorly equipped ROCN was not a match to Imperial Japanese Navy over ocean or coast.
