Brief introduction of warship March

Warship March (English: Warship March; Japanese Hiragana: ぐんかんこぅしんきょく), also known as "Ship March", is a March composed by Seto Fujiji 1. Warship March is generally called "Warship マーチ" in Japan. In the 30th year of Meiji (1897), this song was added to "This City (のちちち, a warship)" written by Toriyama, and was later compiled into a March and published. This song is a representative March in Japan. It is also the official March of the old Japanese navy and now Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, and will be played in various activities such as launching ceremony of ships.
