See full page: Improving Ship Speed

Ship's speed can take the following values:

A ship is either slow or fast natively, the speed can be increased (from slow to fast to fast+ to fastest) using the engine synergy, by equipping a turbine (can be equipped in the expansion slot) and one or more boilers (Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler and 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.
- Note, however, that this doesn't change ship types, initially slow BB and BBV (ship types 9 and 10) can have fast speed, but still aren't FBB (ship type 8).
BB/BBV that are fast+ can be placed in the escort fleet of STF/TCF (only fast for Warspite Kai).
Devs claim that higher speed values increase evasion. However, its magnitude/scope/existence is still investigated by players (preliminary tests suggest that there is no significant increase in evasion^[1]^[2]).
