Range
is a stat that determines the Shooting Order during the First Shelling Phase and OASW.
- In those phases, both fleets will take turns shelling the opposing fleet, with the turn order defined by each ship's range
stat. It is possible to increase a ship's range with proper equipment.
- The shelling order is Longest > Very Long > Long > Medium > Short > None.
- If two or more ships tie for range, the order between them is random.
- Notes
- "Longest" range is only attainable on certain ships, using range extenders (see Range Extension).
- Unlike the other ranges, Longest does not have a proper in-game icon and so is just displayed as "Very Long".
- "None" range is mostly reserved for Abyssal Aircraft Carriers and Transport Ships.
Base Range
Some ships have a different range than the rest of their type (often following a remodel):

Range Extension
It is impossible to reduce the base Range of a ship, but certain equipment can extend it.
