Fatigued ships will have lower accuracy and evasion. If girls are still fatigued upon returning from expeditions, the '''expedition will fail''' even with all other criteria fulfilled. − ====Sparkle==== − {{details|Tutorial: FAQ#My ship is sparkling.2Fglittering.21|l1=Sparkling/glittering!}} − The opposite of Fatigue. If a ship "sparkle", she will gain a boost in sorties.

===API link===
{{details|Tutorial: Proxy Connection#Play_without_VPN.2FProxy|l1=Play without VPN/Proxy}}
A method to play the game without having to access the official [http://www.dmm.com/ DMM] website.
===Docking===
{{details|Docking}}
This allows repairing damaged ships to full health by consuming steel and fuel. Using an {{IR}} instant repair (bucket) (高速修復材) will immediately finish it.
===Expedition===
{{details|Expedition}}
Expeditions are sorties where fleets 2, 3, and 4 can be sent, rewarding resources and certain items. This is the main way to farm resources in the game.
===Modernization===
{{details|Modernization}}
The process of using spare ships to increase the [[Stats]] (firepower, AA, torpedo, armor) of ships up to a certain point. Luck, ASW, and HP can also be increased in some very specific situations.
===Naval Exercise===
{{details|Exercises (PvP)}}
These are battles against other players' fleets. Opposing teams update in real-time, but there is no simultaneous play. This is the main way to level up girls.
*Opponent list refreshed at 03:00 and 15:00 JST.
===Crossing the T===
{{details|Day_Battle#Engagement|l1=Engagement}}
Classic naval strategy in which a line of warships cross in front of a line formation of enemy ships, allowing the crossing line to bring all their guns to bear while receiving fire from only the forward guns of the enemy.
Gameplay-wise:
*When the fleet crosses the enemy fleet ('''{{color|green|Green T}}'''), both sides receive a significant damage buff,
*When the enemy fleet crosses the fleet ('''{{color|red|Red T}}'''), both sides receive a significant damage debuff.
===Phases of Battle===
{{details|Combat#Combat_Stages|l1=Combat}}
*[[Day Battle]]
*#Reconnaissance
*#[[Land-Based Air Squadron]] attacks
*#[[Aerial Combat|Initial airstrikes]] (Jet Assault, opening bombing, air superiority)
*#[[Support Expedition|Support fleet]] attack
*#[[Battle Opening]] (OASW, Opening Torpedo Salvo)
*#Shelling/artillery phase (regular airstrike happens here)
*#Final Torpedo salvo
*[[Night Battle]] (with special cut-ins)
===Remodel===
{{details|Remodel}}
Often confused with Modernization, will usually result in *ship name*-Kai (改). also known as Upgrading.
===Morale===
{{details|Morale and Fatigue}}
Morale greatly affects Expeditions and Combat. A ship's Morale can range from 0 to 100, it decreases when doing sorties, and increases by 3 every 3 min up to 49 when doing nothing.
====Fatigue====
{{details|Tutorial: FAQ#Alright, I built my ship and kicked some butt, but I noticed the orange faces. What gives?}}
Orange or Red sad faces are displayed next to the ship icon if they are too fatigued. Rest them for 15 to 30 min to have them back at normal morale. Fatigued ships will have lower accuracy and evasion. If girls are still fatigued upon returning from expeditions, the '''expedition will fail''' even with all other criteria fulfilled.
====Sparkle====
{{details|Tutorial: FAQ#My ship is sparkling.2Fglittering.21|l1=Sparkling/glittering!}}
The opposite of Fatigue. If a ship "sparkle", she will gain a boost in sorties. Sparkling also plays a very important role in expeditions, where having multiple sparkled girls can increase significantly the "Great Succes" rate. See [[Help:Sparkling]] to learn how to sparkle ships.
===[[Medal]]s & [[Blueprint]]s===
{{details|Blueprint}}
Medals and Blueprints owned are displayed in the [[Inventory]].
{{Medal}} Medals are a multi-purpose item that can be exchanged for resources, consumables, or a "Remodel Blueprint". They are also needed for certain quests and improvements.
*They are obtained by clearing certain maps and quests and are common among event rewards.
{{BP}} Blueprints (BP) are items used exclusively to remodel ships, most better remodels requiring at least one Blueprint.
===Tracer-fire effect===
This occurs when a ship fires any equipped AA guns against planes. The flagship will always do this by default, even without any anti-air stat.
