The priority of the ships depend on the following factors:

The priority of the ships depend on the following factors:

* Relative strength. e.g. Yukikaze Kai Ni has even higher FP than some old heavy cruisers.

* '''Relative strength'''. e.g. Yukikaze Kai Ni has even higher FP than some old heavy cruisers.

* Versatility. Ships(especially CL and DD) have one or more specific roles: High luck that can dispatch the boss easier, ASW, AACI, anti-installation, opening torp, seaplane fighter, and more. Some ships such as Yukikaze, Kasumi or Yahagi Kai are versatile and have multiple functionality; some ships such as Atlanta is almost only for a specific ability but do the job very well; some ships such as Yura is jack in all but master of none.

* Quests. Quests are the main source of powerful equipments for the beginners(such as Murata squadron and Oscar 65 squadron). The quest system of Kancolle is a DAG(directed acyclic graph). This means you need to level up not only the quest ships, but also the ships of the prerequisite quests. Some ships are very weak but they're required by an quest, which is the common ancestor of many important quests. In order to prevent scraping quest ships, it's recommended to buy ship slots soon after your account registration. If you're willing to scrap some ship that is your first, see the quest page first and press F3 to see if there is some quest related to her.

* Historical bonus. Kancolle events are likely to be related with historical battles in the WWII. In the most cases "historical ships" have buff on damage and accuracy, which is the key to slay the boss. Apparently the ships which survive longer in the pacific war (such as Yukikaze and Kasumi) are more likely to have historical bonus.
