On the 23rd of April 2018 KanColle ended "Phase 1" of its development cycle and began to move into Phase 2, ditching the flash-based system KanColle has used up till then, due to the discontinuation of Flash, KanColle made the announcement that the game would end its run of Flash by its 5th Anniversary and will be migrated to HTML 5. All content and data have been migrated with the transfer.

The purpose of this page will be to cover the entirety of KanColle's Phase 1 development history regarding the Browser Version of KanColle from its beginning all the way to when the game ended its run on Flash.
