Changing Fleet Composition
Assigning or Swapping Girls
To assign or swap a girl in a fleet, there is the Change (変更) button. This will bring up a list of all the girls possessed, including duplicates.
- It is possible to change how the girls are sorted, by clicking on the blue button in the top right and cycling through the following options:
- Level - Sorts from highest to lowest level. Ships of the same level are then ordered by "type" (see below).
- Ship Type- Sorts by ship type and class.
- New - Sorts by newest to oldest.
- Damaged - Sorts by most to least damaged (in %). Undamaged girls are sorted by "type".
- It is possible to filter the ships by types, by using the tabs along the top of the girl list. This option is only available for the browser version. See here to get an idea on how types are sorted per tab.
- Clicking ◀ on the right will select/deselect all tabs.
- Clicking on the small circle on the left will toggle between IJN and USN Ship Hull classifications.
Once the selection is made, clicking on her entry will bring up her stat card. The Change (変更) button on her card must be clicked to confirm the selection.
Removing Girls
There are 3 ways to remove a girl from a fleet:
- Select the girl to remove and press the Change (変更) button. Then select the Undo (はずす) at the top of the ship list. This option is at the top of every page in the browser version but only at the top of the first page in Android.
- The Secretary (1st fleet's flagship) cannot be removed and can only be swapped.
- Select the "Remove All but Flagship" (随伴艦一括解除) option located at the top. This option will remove all girls but the flagship.
- Drag and drop a girl out of any of the fleet slots.
Adjusting Fleet Positions
It is possible to click and drag girls around to adjust their position in the fleet. To do this, click on the girl's portrait and drag her to the desired position. She will swap places with the girl in that position.
Locking Girls
It is possible to "heart lock" girls to prevent them from being available for Modernization or Dismantling. To lock a girl, click the Change (変更) button to bring up the girl list and mouse over the empty space on the right of the list. A greyed out unlocked heart-shaped padlock will appear. Click on it to lock a girl. Redo this process to unlock a girl.
Always remember to lock the girls that are intended to be kept, to avoid any potential mistake.
Preset Fleets
Fleet presets allow to save fleet compositions and load them quickly. All players start with 3 preset fleets but can unlock more by using Dock Opening Keys.
- A maximum of 19 Preset Fleets are currently available, this amount may be increased in future updates.
Recording Presets
Composition Recording can be done by selecting the Composition Record (編成記録) tab located in the bottom left corner of the Composition menu.
A list of the preset fleets and any empty slots are presented. Simply click the blue Record (記録) button to save the current fleet. To delete a preset, click the red Delete (削除) button.
- The "current fleet" can be any of the 4 ones, but ones already sent in expeditions.
- The fleet name will be recorded as well. When deploying this fleet, the name will change to the recorded one.
- Equipment is not recorded. Girls will be deployed with whatever equipment they currently have on them.
More fleet preset slots can be unlocked from this menu. Locked slots will be displayed at the bottom of the list. If a Dock Keys is in the inventory, it is possible to click the Unlock button to increase the number of fleet presets.
Deploying Presets
Composition Deployment can be done by selecting the Deploy Composition (編成展開) tab located in the bottom left corner of the Composition menu.
The list of all the saved preset fleets is presented. Simply click the blue Deploy (展開) button to load the selected fleet.
Important Notes
- When attempting to deploy a preset with girls currently in other fleets, a warning will be displayed. It is still possible to choose to "Deploy All Except Those Assigned to Another Fleet" (別艦隊配属艦を除いて編成展開), which will only deploy eligible ships in the preset.
- The current fleet name will be overwritten with the saved name.
- Girls in the docks can be deployed.
- If a girl in the preset is no longer part of the forces, "Decommissioned Ship" (除籍艦) will be displayed in her place.
- The preset sans the missing girl can still be loaded.
Gifts
Gifts (給) are used to restore the morale of a fleet using items called Mamiya (間宮) 
and Irako (伊良湖) 
. The number beside the button shows the total number of Mamiya and Irako possessed.
- Please see Gifting for more details on how morale affects girls.
Clicking on the button brings up a menu with the following options:
- Use Mamiya - Uses 1 Mamiya to restore a girl's morale to 49 if between 40-49 or 40 if under 40. There is a random chance of having some ships get 50 morale.
- Use Irako - Uses 1 Irako to give the flagship and 0-3 consort ships a +25 morale boost. The bonus morale to
- Use Mamiya and Irako - Uses 1 Mamiya and Irako to gives all ships a +16 morale boost with a chance of bonus morale for Destroyers.
Note that although Mamiya and Irako are available through quests, they are still in short supply. It is recommended to resort to other means to restore morale and sparkle first.
Fleet Name
To change the name of the fleet, just type a new name into the text box and clicking the "Edit" (編集) button.
- Do note that using a 3rd party viewer/app may result in the menu being difficult to type in. If it is the case, either use the said viewer/app's own system, or simply paste a pre-copied text directly.
Keep in mind that the fleet's name is also saved when being used for preset compositions as well.
The name of the fleet is only useful to distinguish different fleets in the selection menu.
The 1st fleet's name can be viewed by all players:
