− | Initially, a ship is either slow or fast, the speed can be increased (from slow to fast to fast+ to fastest) using the engine synergy, by equipping a {{Equipment/Link|Improved Kanhon Type Turbine|text=turbine}} (can be equipped in the {{Item/Link|Reinforcement Expansion|text=expansion slot}}) and one or more boilers ({{Equipment/Link|Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler}} and {{Equipment/Link|New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler}}) on a ship.

| + | * As some branching rules are affected by speed, speeding up a fleet can make it follow a different routing. |
− | * Increase in speed, slow ships will be fast and will count as fast for branching rules. It is also assumed that fast+ and fastest will have their own branching rules in the future.
