Note

• The term Kūbo (空母, Kūbo^?) is a shorthand for Kōkū bokan (航空母艦, Kōkū bokan^?), which means "Aircraft Carrier".
• In-game, the cards & encyclopedia have the ship class English Name, but some are rendered differently from above.

• "Aircraft Carrying Submarine" instead of "Submarine Aircraft Carrier"
• "Aircraft Cruiser" instead of "Aviation Cruiser"
• "Seaplane Carrier" instead of "Seaplane Tender"
• "Aircraft Carrier" instead of "Standard Aircraft Carrier"
• "Aircraft Carrier" instead of "Armored Aircraft Carrier"
• "Battleship" instead of "Fast Battleship"

• There are no USN hull classification codes for:

• Submarine Aircraft Carriers
• Training Cruisers
• Torpedo Cruisers
• Aviation Cruisers
• Armored Carriers

• KanColle fans occasionally use CVB, which was for the largest aircraft carriers, such as Shinano.

• Fast Battleships
• Aviation Battleships
• Landing Craft Carriers (Amphibious Assault Ship)

Crossing the T

Classic naval strategy in which a line of warships cross in front of a line formation of enemy ships, allowing the crossing line to bring all their guns to bear while receiving fire from only the forward guns of the enemy. Gameplay wise, when your fleet crosses the enemy fleet, BOTH sides (counter-intuitively) gain a significant increase in damage dealt. When the opponent crosses your fleet, BOTH sides gain a significant damage decrease.

Docking

For more information on this topic, see Docking.

Allow your damaged ships to be repaired to full health. The repair, also known as "bath" requires steel and fuel, and will take "some" time to complete. You can use the Instant repair item/Bucket (高速修復材) to instantly complete the repair.

Expedition

For more information on this topic, see Expedition.

This is where you send your fleets to complete expeditions, in exchange for resources and certain items. For some ships and items, the only way to obtain them is by doing expedition. None of the expeditions involve combat, so you won't have to worry about losing any of your ships. You will, however, need to resupply their fuel tanks once the expedition is finished. Also, it is one of the main sources of income.

Food supply ship Mamiya

Blinking button in the 'Organize' menu showing that Mamiya's food can be used.

For more information on this topic, see Morale/Fatigue.

Removes any fatigue on your fleet. If you don't use it, it could function as a fatigue indicator, as it informs you of when a girl in your fleet has fatigue, even without the orange fatigue indication. See here for the Wikipedia entry.

Modernization

For more information on this topic, see Modernization.

Process of using unused ships to increase stats (Firepower, AA, Torpedo, Armor) of a single ship. Also known as Merging.

Naval Exercise

For more information on this topic, see Exercises (PvP).

PVP-like battle with no risk of repair and sinking, and only costs the player fuel, ammo and bauxite. Opponent teams update in real-time, but there is no simultaneous play.

• New opponent list refreshed at 03:00 and 15:00 JST

Phases of Battle

For more information on this topic, see Combat.

• Day Battle
  1. Reconnaissance (Stat boost, avoid being T-crossed)
  2. Initial airstrike (opening bombing, air superiority)
  3. Support fleet attack
  4. Opening/initial torpedo strike (see Type A Ko-hyoteki (甲標的甲型))
  5. Shelling/artillery phase (regular airstrike happens here)
  6. Torpedo salvo
• Night Battle

Remodel

For more information on this topic, see Remodel.

Often confused with Modernization, will usually result in *ship name*-Kai (改). also known as Upgrading.

Fatigue

For more information on this topic, see Alright, I built my ship, kicked some ass and I noticed the orange faces. What gives?.

Orange/sad faces are displayed next to the ship icon if they are too fatigued. Rest them for 15 minutes or so if it happens. Fatigue will reduce by 3 every 3 minutes. Fatigued ships will have lower accuracy and evasion. If your ships are still fatigued upon returning from expedition, your expedition will end up failing even with all other criteria fulfilled.

Sparkle

For more information on this topic, see My ship is sparkling/glittering!.

The polar opposite of Fatigue. If one or more of your ships sparkle, they will gain evasion boost during sortie. The evasion boost stats are not shown in your ship stats directly. Or, if you choose to send a sparkling ship on an expedition, it will have a chance for 150% resource gain and a higher likelihood of returning with a special item (note that this requires the entire fleet to be consisting of sparkling ships).

Medal

For more information on this topic, see How to exchange medals for rewards?.

Medals (勲章, Medals^?) are a multi-purpose item that can be used to exchange for a small amount of resources or a remodel blueprint (改装設計図, remodel blueprint^?).

• 1 medal can be used to exchange for x300, x300, x300, x300 and x2.
• 1 medal can also be used to exchange for Improvement Materials x4.
• 4 medals are needed to exchange for 1 x remodel blueprint.

Medals can be obtained by clearing certain maps. You can find the amount of medals owned by accessing the Item page(アイテム) at the top menu bar of the main screen. Remodel blueprint is needed to remodel certain ships.

Tracer-fire effect

This occurs when a ship fires any equipped machine guns to defend itself, reducing incoming damage from enemy bombers. Your flagship will always do this by default, even without any anti-air stat.

Equipment

Color-coded Aircraft

• Red Plane: Carrier-based Dive Bomber
• Blue Plane: Carrier-based Torpedo Bomber
• Green Plane: Carrier-based Fighter
• Yellow Plane: Carrier-based Recon Aircraft
• Light Green Plane: Seaplane Bomber and Reconnaissance Seaplane

Color-coded Naval Guns

It is based on their roles, not ability.

• Red Gun: Main Gun; Primarily used against ships, with a secondary role as AA.
• Yellow Gun: Secondary Gun; increase in accuracy and AA stats.
• Green Gun: High-angle dual-purpose guns or AA machine guns

• High-angle guns have the ability to effectively attack both aircraft and ships.
• AA machine guns specifically attack aircraft and always trigger tracer-fire effect.

Midget Submarine

Also known by its design code name Type A Ko-hyoteki (甲標的甲型) which literally means Target Type A, it's a submarine equipable on Torpedo Cruisers, Submarines, and Seaplane Tenders. Frequently used because of their ability to attack before the shelling phase.

Turbine

Turbine are equippable on any ship. Turbine increases the evasion stat causing enemies to miss more often.
