Yes I know, it use them as short version of Japanese or Japan.
And I know people of here are not use this words for offensive words.
But here is public space.
Not all the Japanese seeing this forum can understand english very well (includeing me lol)
and why using the words Jap.
If like these people see ,may be feel it using as offensive.

Let's use not "Jap" but "JPN" or "IJN" (Imeperial Japanese Navy).


Thank you.
I've seen similar requests on other (non "military") sites too, and while the abbreviation it is not generally intended in any derogatory manner, I'll do my best to avoid causing such offence.
