Speed {{Speed}} represents the speed of a ship girl. Ship girls are either '''slow (低速)''' or '''fast (高速)''' by default. As of the [[Game_Updates/2017/January_10|10 Jan 2017 Update]], ship girl speed can be further increased to '''fast+ (高速+)''' or '''fastest (最速)''' by using a combination of {{Turbine}} {{EquipmentLink|Improved Kanhon Type Turbine|text=Turbine}} with one or more {{EquipmentLink|Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler|New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler|text=Boilers}}.

[[File:Yamatofast.png|thumb|right|By equipping a Turbine and an Engine it's possible to make Battleship like Yamato go from slow to fast. As shown here, using a [[Improved Steam Turbine]] (shown in the expansion slot) and an [[Enhanced Steam Boiler]] will result in Yamato going to '''Fast''' allowing her access to path branching she would otherwise not have access to when she was '''Slow'''.]]

Ship's speed can take the following values:
−
There are several effects of increasing ship girl speed:
+
* Slow (低速)
−
 
+
* Fast (高速)
−
* Meeting routing requirements.
+
* Fast+ (高速+)
−
** Slow ships can be sped up to fulfil certain branching requirements.
+
* Fastest (最速) (sometimes "Fast ++")
−
*** Note that this does not apply to ''ship type'' requirements. Eg a BB will not count as a FBB where FBBs are specifically required.
 
−
** Fast+ and fastest are required to fulfil routing requirements in some maps. Eg. [[World 3#3-2|3-2]] and [[World 4#4-5|4-5]].
 
−
* [[Combined Fleet]] composition.
 
−
** Slow battleships that are fast+ can be placed in the escort fleet.
 
−
* Evasion increase.
 
−
** Although this has been stated by the developers to occur, testing has not shown any significant increase in evasion.
 
−
* Because [[Coastal Defense Ships]] cannot equip {{Engine}}, they are the only ship type that '''cannot be sped up'''.

There are several effects of increasing ship speed:
 +
* Meeting routing requirements:
 +
** Fleet speed affect certain [[Routing|map routing]].
 +
*** Note that this does not apply to ''ship type'' requirements (e.g. a BB will not count as an FBB where FBBs are specifically required).
 +
*** Most map routings are only affected by slow/fast fleets, '''fast+''' and '''fastest''' being required for routing in very few maps (e.g. [[3-2]] and [[4-5]]).
 +
* [[Combined Fleet#Combined Fleet Types|Combined Fleet composition]]:
 +
** BB/BBV that are '''fast+''' can be placed in the escort fleet of STF/TCF (only '''fast''' for the {{Class|Queen Elizabeth|Kai}}).
 +
* ''Evasion increase'':
 +
** Devs claim ([https://twitter.com/KanColle_STAFF/status/818739607776804866]) that higher speed values increase evasion, however, no such bonus has ever been measured ([https://twitter.com/Xe_UCH/status/819164409025032195][http://ja.kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%AC%E3%83%83%E3%83%89:676]).

* Because [[Coastal Defense Ships]] (DE) cannot equip {{Engine}} [[Engine Improvement]]s, they are the only ship type that '''cannot be speed-up'''. The only exception is [[Inagi Kai Ni]].

It is '''highly recommended''' to have a [[Reinforcement Expansion]] on ships that are sped-up. Ships sped up without using a RE will have '''severely degraded combat efficiency''' in most cases.

It is '''highly recommended''' that you have a [[Reinforcement Expansion]] on ship girls that you wish to speed up. It can '''severely degrade''' their combat efficiency if you attempt to speed up ship girls without one.

So far, only 2 "boilers" exist in the game, and they are referred to as:
−
 
 
 
* {{Equipment/Link|Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler}} = +10 Boiler
 
* {{Equipment/Link|Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler}} = +10 Boiler
 
* {{Equipment/Link|New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler}} = +13 Boiler
 
* {{Equipment/Link|New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler}} = +13 Boiler

'''''All synergies listed below already include 1 {{Equipment/Link|Improved Kanhon Type Turbine}} because it is an absolute requirement for speed ups.'''''

'''''Unless stated otherwise, synergies listed below already include 1 {{Equipment/Link|Improved Kanhon Type Turbine}}, as it is a requirement for almost all speed-ups.'''''

Equipping a Turbine and a Boiler make fast DD like Shimakaze go to speeds beyond fast. Here, using a Turbine and a +13 Boiler results in Fastest speed.
Equipping a Turbine and a Boiler make a BB like Yamato go from slow to fast. Here, using a Turbine (in the RE) and an +10 Boiler results in Fast speed.

Speed Speed represents the speed of a ship. Ship are either slow (低速) or fast (高速) by default. Ship speed can be further increased to fast+ (高速+) or fastest (最速) by using Engine Improvement Engine Improvements, usually a combination of a TurbineImproved Kanhon Type Turbine with one or more BoilersEnhanced Kanhon Type Boiler
New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler.

Overview

Ship's speed can take the following values:

  • Slow (低速)
  • Fast (高速)
  • Fast+ (高速+)
  • Fastest (最速) (sometimes "Fast ++")

There are several effects of increasing ship speed:

  • Meeting routing requirements:
    • Fleet speed affect certain map routing.
      • Note that this does not apply to ship type requirements (e.g. a BB will not count as an FBB where FBBs are specifically required).
      • Most map routings are only affected by slow/fast fleets, fast+ and fastest being required for routing in very few maps (e.g. 3-2 and 4-5).
  • Combined Fleet composition:
  • Evasion increase:
    • Devs claim ([1]) that higher speed values increase evasion, however, no such bonus has ever been measured ([2][3]).
  • Because Coastal Defense Ships (DE) cannot equip Engine Improvement Engine Improvements, they are the only ship type that cannot be speed-up. The only exception is Inagi Kai Ni.

Speed Change Charts

It is highly recommended to have a Reinforcement Expansion on ships that are sped-up. Ships sped up without using a RE will have severely degraded combat efficiency in most cases.

So far, only 2 "boilers" exist in the game, and they are referred to as:

Unless stated otherwise, synergies listed below already include 1 Improved Kanhon Type TurbineImproved Kanhon Type Turbine, as it is a requirement for almost all speed-ups.
