"The Manchukuo Imperial Navy (Chinese: \u6E80\u5DDE\u5E1D\u570B\u6D77\u8ECD M\u01CEnzh\u014Du D\u00ECgu\u00F3 H\u01CEij\u016Bn) was the navy of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. As Manchukuo was a largely land-locked state, the leadership of the Japanese Kwantung Army regarded the development of a navy to have a very low military priority, although it was politically desirable to create at least a nominal force as a symbol of the legitimacy of the new regime."@en .
