* 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]].

* Similarly, [[EliteCAV|Aviation Cruisers]] & [[EliteBBV|Aviation Battleships]] do not count as a [[List of heavy cruisers by upgraded maximum stats|Heavy Cruiser]] & [[List of battleships by upgraded maximum stats|Battleship]], respectively<sup>[[Tutorial: FAQ#Are Kitakami and Ooi first and second remodels considered as CLs for expedition and map requirement purposes?|[0]]]</sup>.
