Imperial Japanese Navy Technical Department

The nihongo|Imperial Japanese Navy Technical Department|艦政本部|kansei hombu|Short form: 艦本 "kampon" was the externally operating division of the Ministry of the Navy of Japan responsible for the administration of naval vessel construction. From 1923 onward, it took on the role of a research institution for the research and development of naval technologies and engineering. This included studying and investigating existing western naval technology, developing and overseeing Japan's domestic ship-building and arms industries, and training officers to become naval engineers and inspectors. The bureau was dismantled along with the naval ministry in November of 1945 after Japan surrendered to the Allies at the end of World War II.
