Ships with IPA of some kind implemented onto their pages:
*[[Hibiki|<span style="cursor:help;" title="[vʲˈernᵻj]">Верный</span>]]
*[[Prinz Eugen|<span style="cursor:help;" title="[ˈpʁɪnts ɔʏˈɡeːn]">Prinz Eugen</span>]]
*[[Z1|<span style="cursor:help;" title="[lebəʁɛçt ˈmaːs]">Leberecht Maass</span>]]
Of late, my attention has been drawn to people (Mostly over streams) butchering certain kanmusu names and foreign terms, which is completely understandable given the community's dominantly English-speaking/reading/writing background. However, this is even further enforced by the silly pronunciation used by many foreign ships. On account of this, I want to follow suit to many other English-based communities centered around foreign products/services/media by including IPA where possible.

:So, It might just be me, but we could just do an IPA symbol for each japanese syllable and the common romanization, along with explaining pronounciation rules and giving some particular examples (the Tone class comes to mind).

::<nowiki><span style="cursor:help;" title="[Fancy IPA Symbols]">Jun'you</span></nowiki> <-- The syntax I use for inserting IPA. IPA won't work with a 1:1 ratio of symbols to kana, unless you meant something else. I'm very curious about the template possibilities in implementing these. I definitely agree with providing the common romanization, the Japanese name, and then a third element, which in this case would be mouse-over IPA. As you might have seen, the new poop template follows a similar convention, only it discloses furigana instead of IPA. I don't think this is useful at all, given how we already have the romanization, but others may feel differently. I'll update a list of ships that have scroll-over IPA implemented (No Japanese ships yet) at the top of the page for reference if anyone is curious.
::I am really pondering making the IPA plain text, in a similar convention to Touhou Wiki (See http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Remilia_Scarlet), for Japanese ship names, though I'm still very much leaning towards the current idea.
