"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 World War II warships, with some of their design and personality being derivated from real elements.

Notes
  • 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.

Notes
  • Some ships are also rewarded in Quests.
  • Several ships are currently dropable for a limited time, see here.
  • Some ships may become buildable or droppable in future updates.

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 改 (Kai) added in their name, which stands for Modified, Revised, Improved, or Altered in Japanese. For the 2nd remodel, ニ (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.

Roma Aquila

Some of those names are not directly mentioned in the game, but are sometimes used by the Devs.

  • Shinshuu Maru also beared other names (R1, GL, MT, Ryujo Maru) for dissuasive reasons.

Rarity

In the game, ship cards will change depending on the rarity. The backgrounds, the top left "Ship Type", and the remodel petal are affected:

Notes
  • Card rarity does not perfectly match the real API rarity, which is irrelevant in all cases outside of ship Construction & Drops.
    • See here for the full list of ship cards ranked by card and API rarity.
    • When sinking a ship, the displayed background will be the one corresponding to its API rarity and not its actual card background.
