;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.
 +
**So far, the following types are fully interchangeable regarding [[Routing]], [[Expeditions]], and [[Quests]] requirement:
 +
***CV & CVB<ref>Some routing did differentiate CV & CVB in the past .</ref>,
 +
***SS & SSV.
 +
* Some ships have remodels shifting their type, their class, and/or their name, ''see [[#Ship Stats & Remodels|below]] for more details.

=Ship Availability=

 +
=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 [[Stats|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 [[SS#Trivia|submarine types]].

"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.

  • There are 306 ships (790 including all remodels) as of the 2024/10/18 update.

They come in various Types, Classes, Remodels, and degrees of Rarity, with each having various set of Stats and Mechanics.
