Aircraft Carriers | 正規空母 | Standard Aircraft Carrier | 空母 | CV | Achieves air superiority by Fighters. Cannot attack during night battle without the right equipment. Must equip Dive Bombers and/or Torpedo Bombers to enable regular attacks. |
装甲空母 | Armored Aircraft Carrier | 装母 | CVB | Armored Aircraft Carriers can still attack with moderate hull damage. | |
軽空母 | Light Aircraft Carrier | 軽母 | CVL | Weaker than standard carriers, but capable of attacking submarines and are more permissive routing-wise. | |
Heavy Cruisers | 重巡洋艦 | Heavy Cruiser | 重巡 | CA | Stronger in surface combat than light cruisers at the expense of ASW capacity. |
航空巡洋艦 | Aviation Cruiser | 航巡 | CAV* | CA capable of using most Seaplanes, initiating fighter combat to enable artillery spotting, and with ASW capacities. | |
Light Cruisers | 軽巡洋艦 | Light Cruiser | 軽巡 | CL | Very flexible. Utilizes Medium Guns, Torpedoes ASW, & artillery spotting. |
重雷装巡洋艦 | Torpedo Cruiser | 雷巡 | CLT* | Have the strongest night attack power in the game. Can equip midget submarines to enable opening torpedo attacks. | |

Destroyers | 駆逐艦 | Destroyer | 駆逐 | DD | Versatile ships with high torpedo, ASW, and evasion stats, do the detriment of armor and firepower, while having low resource consumption and the most permissive routings. They shine best in night battles with their special Cut-ins. |

Submarines | 潜水艦 | Submarine | 潜 | SS | Limited to both torpedo phases & night battle. Only vulnerable to ASW. |

Notes:
- *Abbreviations are derived rather than official, and some sub
- Some ships have additional unique types, but with no impact on types' mechanic behaviors
- See here for a complete classifications list.
- Battleships & Fast Battleships share the hull classification, BB.
- 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.
- Exceptions
- Training Cruisers & Torpedo Cruisers do not count as a Light Cruiser for expeditions or branching rules requirements.
- Similarly, Aviation Cruisers & Aviation Battleships do not count as a Heavy Cruiser & Battleship respectively.
- Some ships like the Chitose-class and Taigei have remodels shifting their ship type, and sometimes even their class and their name.
Ship Stats & Remodels
Each ship have a given set of stats, affecting its combat behaviors. Those stats can be modified via Modernization, Leveling (including Marriage), Remodeling, or by simply equipping said ship.
- See here for more details.
Most ships remodels have 改 (Kai) added in their name, which stands for Modified, Revised, Improved, or Altered in Japanese. For the 2nd remodel, ニ (Ni), 2 or Second in Japanese can be added.
- Some ships can also have variations depending on their nationality, for special remodels, or may even be renamed after a remodel.
- This naming scheme can also be found on some equipment.
