This page is a listing of a number of historical naval formations containing ships that appear in KanColle. Note that many of these formations had multiple 'generations', that ships were often part of multiple formations at a time, and that accurate historical records of these units are very difficult to ascertain. Multiple reorganizations occurred over the course of the war as losses took their toll.

The Carrier Divisions (''Koukuu 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 Koukuu Sentai"'' is shortened to 一航戦, ''"Ikkousen".  ''In most translations, this is written as abbreviating "First Carrier Division" to "CarDiv1."

==Torpedo Squadrons==
 
==Torpedo Squadrons==
 
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'

This page is a listing of a number of historical naval formations containing ships that appear in KanColle. Note that many of these formations had multiple 'generations', that ships were often part of multiple formations at a time, and that accurate historical records of these units are very difficult to ascertain. Multiple reorganizations occurred over the course of the war as losses took their toll.

For a complete listing of all IJN ships at the time of the Pearl Harbor attacks, please see the IJN Order of Battle.

Battle Squadrons

Battleship Yamato, at one point the Combined Fleet flagship.

In Japanese, there is no distinction drawn between Battleship and Cruiser divisions, they are simply called "squadrons" (sentai).

Japanese English Units
第一戦隊 First Battleship Division : BatDiv 1 Nagato (Flagship), Mutsu, Later: Yamato (Flagship), Musashi
第二戦隊 Second Battleship Division: BatDiv 2 Ise (Flagship), Hyuuga, Yamashiro, Fusou

Carrier Divisions

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".

English Name Japanese  Unit Members
First Carrier Division: CarDiv 1 第一航空戦隊 Akagi (Flagship), Kaga, Seventh Destroyer Division
Seventh Destroyer Division: DesDiv 7 第七駆逐隊 Ushio (Flagship), Akebono, Sazanami

Fourth Carrier Division: CarDiv 4 第四航空戦隊 Ryuujou, Later Ise and Hyuuga
Fifth Carrier Division: CarDiv 5 第五航空戦隊 Shoukaku, Zuikaku, Oboro (Escort)

Torpedo Squadrons

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'

English Name Japanese  Unit Members
First Torpedo Squadron: Desron 1 第一水雷戦隊 Abukuma (Flagship), Sixth Destroyer Division, Twenty-First Destroyer Division, Twenty-Seventh Destroyer Division, Seventeenth Destroyer Division

Sixty-First Destroyer Division: DesDiv 61 第六十一駆逐隊 Akizuki, Teruzuki, later Wakatsuki, Hatsuzuki, Suzutsuki.

Submarine Squadrons
