"Ship classes" refers to the common practice of building multiple ships using a same or similar design. The design is then called a "class", and the class is often named after its 1st built or commissioned ship, or the initial design's code name. Ships built under the same class are then called "sister ships".

In Kancolle, several "classes" are instead referred to by their "type" (e.g. the Number 2-class is referred to as the Type D Kaiboukan).
Some informal classes are also sometimes used, such as the "Special Type Destroyers", or the ones listed bellow.

Ship Classes

Coastal Defense Ship (DE)

Shimushu-class

Etorofu-class

Mikura-class

Hiburi-class

Ukuru-class

Type D Kaiboukan

Library Only Classes

The following is a list of cases where the class displayed in the game Library of a ship is different from the real ship's class.

None of those cases has any gameplay effect.
Those cases are purely cosmetic, often reflecting IRL concepts, or being fully made-up.

Library Only Classes	Ships
Kai Yamato-class	Yamato Kai Ni, Yamato Kai Ni Juu
Kai Ise-class	Ise Kai Ni, Hyuuga Kai Ni
Kai Kongou-class	Kongou Kai Ni C, Hiei Kai Ni C, Haruna Kai Ni B, Haruna Kai Ni C, Kirishima Kai Ni C

Daihatsu-class landing craft (and derivatives),
Toku Daihatsu-class landing craft (and derivatives),
Soukoutei-class armored boat,
Minisub Type A Kō-hyōteki-class midget submarine,
