* Light Aircraft Carriers & Standard Aircraft Carriers are termed 正規空母, or Fleet Carriers, to distinguish them from Escort Carriers or other carrier types. This term sometimes refers only to Standard Aircraft Carriers.
* There are 265 kanmusu (sans remodels & class changes) as of the [[Game Updates/2021/December 10th|10/12/2021 update]].
