History


The predecessor of the Etajima base was the branch officer training system of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy. The Naval Academy moved to Etajima from Tsukiji, Tokyo in 1888. The current academy was re-established in 1956.


Before World War II, the Britannia Royal Naval College and United States Naval Academy were called the “worldwide 3[clarification needed] large service academies”.[citation needed] Many of the facilities of the Naval Academy are used by the 1st Technical School and the Officer Candidate School.
