'''"Ship classes"''' refers to the common practice of building multiple ships using a same or similar design. The design is then called a "class", and the class is often named after its 1st built or commissioned ship, or the initial design's code name. Ships built under the same class are then called "sister ships".
 +
*In Kancolle, several "classes" are instead referred to by their "type" (e.g. the {{Class|Number 2}} is referred to as the {{Type|Type D Kaiboukan}}).
 +
*Some informal classes are also sometimes used, such as the "{{Type|Special Type Destroyers}}", or the ones listed ''[[#Library Only Classes|bellow]]''.
  
 +
<!--
 +
Categories use in-game sorting. Kancolle mostly sorts ship classes nationally and then by implementation date order. Hibiki and Yukikaze's foreign remodels don't count toward this.

*This change can have an impact on mechanics asking for a specific class, such as [[Quests]].

*This can also affect the impacted ship's card, looking as if they were not remodeled, despite being already remodeled (''see [[Ship#Rarity|here]]'').

"Ship classes" refers to the common practice of building multiple ships using a same or similar design. The design is then called a "class", and the class is often named after its 1st built or commissioned ship, or the initial design's code name. Ships built under the same class are then called "sister ships".

Class Changes

The following is a list of cases where the class of a ship changes upon remodeling.

  • This change can have an impact on mechanics asking for a specific class, such as Quests.
  • This can also affect the impacted ship's card, looking as if they were not remodeled, despite being already remodeled (see here).
Base Classes Ships Remodeled Classes Ships
Kasuga Maru-class Kasuga Maru [math]\displaystyle{ \rightarrow }[/math] Taiyou-class Taiyou
Yawata Maru Unyou
Taigei-class Taigei Ryuuhou-class Ryuuhou
Type IXC U-boat U-511 Kai Ro-series Submarine Ro-500

Library Only Classes

The following is a list of cases where the class displayed in the game Library of a ship is different from the real ship's class.

  • None of those cases has any gameplay effect.
  • Those cases are purely cosmetic, often reflecting IRL concepts, or being fully made-up.
