View source for Template:Range Extension

[[Range]] {{Range}} determines which ships attack first. It is impossible to reduce the base range of a ship, but certain equipment can extend it.
*''Not to be confused with [[Land-Based Air Squadron#Combat_Radius|LBAS Range Extension]].''

*[[USN|USN DDs]], [[Dan Yang]], and [[Yukikaze Kai Ni]] are the only DDs able to reach:
**'''Long Range''', once equipped with an {{EquipmentLink|SG Radar (Initial Model)|SG Radar (Late Model)|text=SG Radar}},
**'''Very Long Range''', once equipped with both an {{EquipmentLink|SG Radar (Initial Model)|text=Initial}} and a {{EquipmentLink|SG Radar (Late Model)|text=Late}} SG radar.
*Using both a '''Very Long Range''' equipment and a {{Equipment/Link|Type 2 Reconnaissance Aircraft}} on [[Souryuu Kai Ni]], [[Hiryuu Kai Ni]], [[Ise Kai Ni]], or [[Hyuuga Kai Ni]], will set them at '''"Longest Range"'''.

Some ships have a different range than the rest of their type (often following a remodel):
