| The Carrier Divisions (''Kōkū sentai'') were part of a different fleet system than the Battlegroups and Torpedo Squadrons, though they often had Destroyer Divisions attached to them to act as escorts. The Japanese names of the Carrier divisions are often shortened by the shipgirls, for instance 第一航空戦隊, "''Dai-ichi Kōkū Sentai"'' is shortened to 一航戦, ''"Ikkōsen"''. In most translations, this is written as abbreviating "First Carrier Division" to "CarDiv1". | | The Carrier Divisions (''Kōkū sentai'') were part of a different fleet system than the Battlegroups and Torpedo Squadrons, though they often had Destroyer Divisions attached to them to act as escorts.

| Torpedo Squadrons (''Suirai sentai'') and their sub-components, Destroyer Divisions (''Kuchikutai''), were created as part of the Japanese plan to slowly wear down American forces as they came across the Pacific with superior night-fighting and long-range torpedo bombardment tactics. They were led by a single Light Cruiser flagship supervising a number of Destroyer Divisions. Destroyer Divisions who have no members implemented in KanColle are not mentioned. Some sources translate 'Torpedo Squadron' as 'Destroyer Squadron', it is this that is abbreviated to 'Desron' | | Torpedo Squadrons (''Suirai sentai'') and their sub-components, Destroyer Divisions (''Kuchikutai''), were created as part of the Japanese plan to slowly wear down American forces as they came across the Pacific with superior night-fighting and long-range torpedo bombardment tactics.
