==Sorties==
[[File:KanColleSortie.png|thumb]]
When you click the Sortie button you'll see three options. (The latter two may not be unlocked if you are a newbie and haven't completed certain quests.)
From left to right, they are:
* '''Sortie''' - Send your fleet on a mission to fight enemies and find new ship girls. The main game mode.
* '''Practice''' - Fight mock battles against other players. Your ships won't need to be repaired afterwards but the rewards are reduced.
* '''Expedition''' - Send your fleet to search for materials. They won't take damage or engage in fights, but there is an ammo/fuel cost and some expeditions can take quite a long time.
After choosing to Sortie you'll be asked to choose a map, where you may fight multiple battles. Ship girls who enter a battle undamaged or lightly damaged may take major damage, but shouldn't sink. '''If you enter a battle with a ship at moderate damage or greater, they are at risk of sinking and being lost forever!'''
[[File:KanColleFormation.png|thumb]]
When you fight a battle you can choose a formation. The Japanese wikis contradict each other on the exact effects of these formations but here are general points of agreement.
* '''Line ahead''' - Offensive formation that greatly increases all damage and decreases armor. Weak against aircraft, especially weak to submarines.
* '''Double line''' - Balanced formation that slightly increases armor, evasion and all damage. Weak against submarines.
* '''Diamond''' - Defensive formation that greatly decreases gun damage while increasing accuracy. Strong against submarines, very strong against aircraft.
* '''Diagonal''' - This formation is the least well tested but it is thought to be a balanced defensive formation which is strong against submarines.
* '''Line abreast''' - Defensive formation that decreases all damage and increases accuracy, armor and evasion. Very strong against submarines.
When your fleet uses heavy ships and carriers it is recommended you choose a damage-boosting formation, while if your fleet uses light ships with torpedos and does most of its damage during the night you should choose a defensive formation. If you're unsure, double line is almost always a good choice.
[[File:KanColleNightAttack.png|thumb]]
If you do not wipe out the enemy fleet during the day, after the first stage of the battle you will have the option to make a '''night attack''' with the buttom on the right. The critical chance of both your own ships and those of the enemy is greatly increased during a night attack. If you have taken heavy damage, you may instead wish to '''withdraw''' with the button on the right.
''Confirmation needed- if your ships go into the day battle unharmed and then take heavy damage during it, can they sink during the night attack? -[[User:Soramawari|Soramawari]] ([[User talk:Soramawari|talk]])''
After the battle, you will receive a '''rank''' dependent on how badly you damaged the enemy fleet (the highest rank requires you to have destroyed all enemied completely while no damage.) You may find a new ship girl at this time. The maximum rarity of the ship girl you find seems to be dependent on your rank, so when looking for new ships, try to fight battles you can win easily.
[[File:KanColleSortieContinue.png|thumb]]
If the battle was considered a victory for your fleet (rank B or above, and you did not withdraw from the night battle) you can either '''continue''' with the button on the left, or end the sortie with the button on the right.
