Revision as of 15:57, 14 July 2024

Ship type codes on the list and the rest of the wiki are based on NATO hull classification or modifications thereof.

Many of the types seen in this table are only visible through the in-game Library, and so are not counted in situations like quest/sorties/expeditions compositions
- Some exceptions do exist and are explicitly noted.
Some of those types are not displayed within the game, but are counted within the code and so do count for some situations like quest/sorties/expeditions compositions.

Notes

Some Abyssals also have some other exclusive sub-types.
So far, the following types are fully interchangeable regarding Routing, Expeditions, and Quests requirement:
- CV and CVB
- SS and SSV

Special Sub-Types

Types seen instead of the "real" ship type.

Those types have little gameplay effects compared to the main type.
The differences can often be resumed to special equipabilities.
