Question

Could Japanese ships join the fighting at Narvik?

Short answer

No. The proposed Japanese declaration comes after the Norwegian campaign's conclusion, and deployment would take additional time.

Notes

The scenario's starting date rules out Japanese participation at Narvik. The fighting in Norway was already over before the proposed declaration on 25 June 1940. Japanese ships would then need further time to prepare and travel west.
