The War Department Ships flag was flown by transports and other vessels operated by the Imperial Japanese Army. The army maintained a large fleet of its own, separate from the navy, to move troops and supplies overseas, and its ships carried a distinguishing flag to show that they were in military service. The fleet and its flags disappeared with the dissolution of the Japanese armed forces in 1945. The army also built its own landing craft carriers and, late in the Pacific War, transport submarines. Most of the fleet was sunk by Allied submarines and aircraft between 1942 and 1945.
