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}} [[Engine Improvement]]s: a {{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}}.

There are several effects of increasing ship girl speed:
+
Ship's speed can take the following values:
 +
* Slow (低速)
 +
* Fast (高速)
 +
* Fast+ (高速+)
 +
* Fastest (最速) (sometimes "Fast ++")

* Meeting routing requirements.
+
There are several effects of increasing ship speed:
−
** Slow ships can be sped up to fulfil certain branching requirements.
+
* Meeting routing requirements:
−
*** Note that this does not apply to ''ship type'' requirements. Eg a BB will not count as a FBB where FBBs are specifically required.
+
** Fleet speed affect certain [[Routing|map routing]].
−
** 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]].
+
*** 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).
−
* [[Combined Fleet]] composition.
+
*** 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]]).
−
** Slow battleships that are fast+ can be placed in the escort fleet.
+
* [[Combined Fleet#Combined Fleet Types|Combined Fleet composition]]:
−
* Evasion increase.
+
** BB/BBV that are '''fast+''' can be placed in the escort fleet of STF/TCF (only '''fast''' for the {{Class|Queen Elizabeth|Kai}}).
−
** Although this has been stated by the developers to occur, testing has not shown any significant increase in evasion.
+
* ''Evasion increase'':
−
* Because [[Coastal Defense Ships]] cannot equip {{Engine}} [[Engine Improvement]]s, they are the only ship type that '''cannot be sped up'''.
+
** 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''' 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.

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:
 
* {{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

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.
