While the option has been present in the main menu since the game launched on April 23rd, 2013, no further details about it were released until the Fall 2017 [[KanColle Naval Review]]. During the Naval Review event, it was announced that the Friend Fleet system would be fully implemented once [[Phase 2]] of KanColle was rolled out in 2018. It has since been announced that [[Phase 2]] will be implemented via a three-step process, during the period between the 2018 Spring mini-event and the 2018 Summer event (plus possible delays). | While the option has been present in the main menu since the game launched on April 23rd, 2013, no further details about it were released until the Fall 2017 [[KanColle Naval Review]].
