'''"Ships"''', also referred as '''"kanmusus"''' ("ship girls" in Japanese), or simply "girls", are the core of the game. They each are anthropomorphic representations of real [[wikipedia:World War II|World War II]] warships, with some of their design and personality being derivated from real elements.
 +
*There are '''301 ships''' (without remodels & class changes) as of the {{GameUpdates|2024-03-03}} update.
 +
 +
They come in various [[#Ship Type Identification|Types]], [[Ship Class|Classes]], [[#Ship Stats & Remodels|Remodels]], and degrees of [[#Rarity|Rarity]], with each having various set of [[Stats]] and [[Mechanic]]s.
 +
*The majority of ships ingame comes from the "Imperial Japanese Navy" (IJN), with some other ships from either the "Imperial Japanese Army" (IJA), or other [[:Category:Ship Nationalities|nations]].

Notes:

;Notes
* [[Glossary#Class classification|* Abbreviations are derived rather than official]]
+
*Some ships have unic "type names", being derivated from other regular types. Those names usually do not have any effect gameplay-wise.
* Battleships & Fast Battleships share the hull classification, BB.
+
*Even so several types of ships are very similar (FBB/BB/BBV, CV/CVL, CA/CAV, & CL/CLT/CT), they nonetheless are different types than can not always be interchanged.  
* 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.
+
**So far, the following types are fully interchangeable regarding [[Routing]], [[Expeditions]], and [[Quests]] requirement:  
* There are 276 kanmusus (sans remodels & class changes) as of the [[Game Updates/2022/June 17th|17/06/2022 update]].
+
***CV & CVB<ref>Some routing did differentiate CV & CVB in the past .</ref>,
 
+
***SS & SSV.
;Exceptions
+
* Some ships have remodels shifting their type, their class, and/or their name, ''see [[#Ship Stats & Remodels|below]] for more details.
* [[:Category:Katori Class|Training Cruisers]] & [[:Category:Torpedo Cruisers|Torpedo Cruisers]] do not count as a [[List of light cruisers by upgraded maximum stats|Light Cruiser]] for [[Expedition|expeditions]] or [[Tutorial: FAQ#Why do I keep getting sent to the wrong place?|branching rules]] requirements.
+
<references/>
* Similarly, [[EliteCAV|Aviation Cruisers]] & [[EliteBBV|Aviation Battleships]] do not count as a [[List of heavy cruisers by upgraded maximum stats|Heavy Cruiser]] & [[List of battleships by upgraded maximum stats|Battleship]], respectively<sup>[[Tutorial: FAQ#Are Kitakami and Ooi first and second remodels considered as CLs for expedition and map requirement purposes?|[0]]]</sup>.
 
* Some ships like the [[:Category:Chitose Class|Chitose-class]] and [[Taigei]] have remodels shifting their ship class.

  • Some ships have unic "type names", being derivated from other regular types. Those names usually do not have any effect gameplay-wise.
  • Even so several types of ships are very similar (FBB/BB/BBV, CV/CVL, CA/CAV, & CL/CLT/CT), they nonetheless are different types than can not always be interchanged.
  • Some ships have remodels shifting their type, their class, and/or their name, see below for more details.
  1. Some routing did differentiate CV & CVB in the past .

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 (Kai) added in their name, which stands for Modified, Revised, Improved, or Altered in Japanese. For the 2nd remodel, (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.
  • In some situations, "改" (Kai) is called "改一" (Kai Ichi) for "Remodel 1". This is notably the cases for some submarine types.
