Wiki translation of the Imperial Japanese Naval Sailing School article cited in my post above.
I translated 海軍航海学校 as "Imperial Japanese Naval Sailing School;" however, a direct translation of 航海 is "Voyage". I don't know which is correct.

Only slightly polished by me

The Navy Sailing School is, of educational institutions to train the mastering of navigation, ship maneuvering skills, optic communication skills, astronomical observation skills, weather observation skills necessary to operate vessels in the Imperial Japanese Navy. To subject the Navy gunnery school or Navy Torpedo school graduates, were placed the infantry and Senior High School of Tokushu School Advanced Course.
