| {{ShipLink|Junyou|text=Jun'you}}, {{ShipLink|Hiyou}} || The best CVL at Kai stage - good stats, good plane capacity. The only demerit is that they're slow, which won't matter too much in these early stages except for World 2-5. They're identical at Kai, but Jun'you has a (very good) final remodel and Hiyou does not. Choose whichever suits your liking - you'll come back to the other one later.

| {{ShipLink|Chitose}}, {{ShipLink|Chiyoda}} || Remember those AV from earlier? They're the strongest of the fast Kai CVL, but they do not reach Kai until level '''35''' and their base CVL form is very weak. If you choose to go with one of them, level her as an AV while running World 2 maps and then perform both remodels back to back once she reaches level 35.

| {{ShipLink|Zuihou}} || Identical to Shouhou at Kai, but has a very strong Kai Ni. However, she is very rare and does not drop until late in the main game. If you see her at all, it will be as a side result of attempting to craft CV through Construction. Do not aim to craft her specifically.

Heavily armoured and with high daytime firepower, they're also very expensive to sortie and repair. They come in three flavours: Battleship (BB), Aviation Battleship (BBV), and Fast Battleship (FBB).

Unlike with CVL, their speed will not be important at this stage as it is not recommended to take Battleships to 2-5 anyways. Most standard maps will not let you bring many, so only train '''two''', with at least one being an Aviation Battleship for 1-5 farming.

In the end, you should have a small but well rounded fleet of 5DD, 2CL, 1~2 CA(V), 2 CV, 2 CVL, 1BBV, 1 (F)BB, 1 AV, 2 CLT. This combination of ships, if Kai and modernized, will allow you to tackle every main world map from 1-1 up to 5-2.

As you gain access to more equipment, maps, and events, CAV in their usage begin to branch out from CA. While their stats are typically lower on average, they gain access to equipment that CA don't - anti-installation rockets, Seaplane Bombers and Seaplane Fighters.

All CAV start out as CA and must be remodeled to Kai (Mogami-class) or Kai Ni (Tone-class) before they become CAV. I recommend getting at least '''two'''.

'''Warning:''' She requires the use of a Blueprint to remodel to Kai Ni. As blueprints are very short in supply during the early game and there are many high priority blueprint targets, do '''not''' remodel her to CAV unless something you are doing requires 2 CAV and you are unable to get your hands on Mikuma, Suzuya, or Kumano.

Not much to say here - other better AV are still out of reach, so you have to stick with your Chitose/Chiyoda. Having them at A remodel and modernized to max is good enough.

| {{Ship/Banner|Zuihou/Kai Ni|small=true}} || Zuihou is highly recommended due to a variety of reasons: She's explicitly needed to get the 2nd of the first two available Prototype Catapults, and she has a very powerful K2 with solid stats and slots (but a high remodel level). She is difficult to get however, and some target farming will be needed to hunt her down.

| {{Ship/Banner|Ryuujou/Kai Ni|small=true}} || Compared to Chitose and Chiyoda, she trades some overall aircraft capacity for a larger biggest slot and better firepower. However, her Kai is fairly weak and she does not reach Kai Ni until level 75. She's still solid, but Chitose and Chiyoda will give similar results for lower experience investment. Don't train her early unless you really don't like Chitose or Chiyoda for some reason.
