Ship Class

From Kancolle Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

"Ship classes" refers to the common practice of building multiple ships using a same or similar design. The design is then called a "class", and the class is often named after its 1st built or commissioned ship, or the initial design's code name. Ships built under the same class are then called "sister ships".

Class Changes

The following is a list of cases where the class of a ship changes upon remodeling.

  • This change can have an impact on mechanics asking for a specific class, such as Quests.
  • This can also affect the impacted ship's card, looking as if they were not remodeled, despite being already remodeled (see here).
