Class classification

All of ship class codes on the list are based on USN Hull Classification Codes.

Terms In-game Code Japanese Name English Name
Kanji Romaji
DD 駆逐 駆逐艦 Kuchikukan Destroyer
SS 潜水艦 Sensuikan Submarine
SSV 潜母 潜水空母 Sensuikūbo Submarine Aircraft Carrier
CL 軽巡 軽巡洋艦 Kei Jun'yōkan Light Cruiser
CLT 雷巡 重雷装巡洋艦 Jūraisō Jun'yōkan Torpedo Cruiser
CA 重巡 重巡洋艦 Jū Jun'yōkan Heavy Cruiser
CAV 航巡 航空巡洋艦 Kōkū Jun'yōkan Aviation Cruiser
AV 水母 水上機母艦 Suijōkibokan Seaplane Tender
CVB/CV/CVL - 正規空母 Sei'ki kūbo Fleet Carrier
CVL 軽母 軽空母 Kei kūbo Light Aircraft Carrier
CV 航空母艦 Kōkū bokan Standard Aircraft Carrier
CV 装母 装甲空母 Sōkō kūbo Armored Aircraft Carrier
BB 戦艦 Senkan Battleship
BB 高速戦艦 Kōsoku Senkan Fast Battleship
BBV 航戦 航空戦艦 Kōkū Senkan Aviation Battleship
LHA 揚陸 ドック型揚陸艦 Dokkugata Yōrikukan Amphibious Assault Ship
AR 工作艦 Kōsakukan Repair Ship
AS 潜母艦 潜水母艦 Sensui bokan Submarine Tender

Note:

  • Fast battleships share the same hull classification with slow Battleships.
  • Terms "Kūbo" (空母) is a shorthand for "Kōkū bokan" (航空母艦), which means "Aircraft Carrier".
  • There is actually no hull classification code for armored carriers, but Kancolle-fans keep using CVB which actually was for big aircraft carriers like Shinano.

General

API link

Method to play the game without having to access the official DMM website. See Play without VPN/Proxy for detailed information.


Crossing the T

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 your fleet crosses the enemy fleet, BOTH sides (counter-intuitively) gain a significant increase in damage dealt. When the opponent crosses your fleet, BOTH sides gain a signficiant damage decrease.


Docking

Allow your damaged ships to be repaired to full health. The repair, also known as "bath" requires steel and fuel, and will take "some" time to complete. You can use the Instant repair item/Bucket (高速修復材) to instantly complete the repair.

Expedition

 This is where you send your fleets to complete expeditions, in exchange for resources and certain items. For some ships and items, the only way to obtain them is by doing expedition. None of the expeditions involve combat, so you won't have to worry about losing any of your ships. You will, however, need to resupply their fuel tanks once the expedition is finished. Also, it is one of the main sources of income.


Food supply ship Mamiya

Blinking button in the 'Organize' menu showing that Mamiya's food can be used.

Removes any fatigue on your fleet. If you don't use it, it could function as a fatigue indicator, as it informs you of when a girl in your fleet has fatigue, even without the orange fatigue indiciation. See here for the Wikipedia entry.

Modernization

Process of using unused ships to increase stats (Firepower, AA, Torpedo, Armor) of a single ship. Also known as Merging.


Naval Exercise

PVP-like battle with no risk of repair and sinking, and only costs the player fuel, ammo and bauxite. Opponent teams update in real-time, but there is no simultaneous play.

  • New opponent list refreshed at 03:00 and 15:00 JST


Phases of Battle

  • Day Battle
    1. Reconnaissance (Stat boost, avoid being T-crossed)
    2. Initial airstrike (opening bombing, air superiority)
    3. Support fleet attack
    4. Opening/initial torpedo strike (see Type A Ko-hyoteki (甲標的甲型))
    5. Shelling/artillery phase (regular airstrike happens here)
    6. Torpedo salvo
  • Night Battle


Remodel

Often confused with Modernization, will usually result in *ship name*-Kai (改). also known as Upgrading.


Fatigue

 Orange/sad faces are displayed next to the ship icon if they are too fatigued. Rest them for 15 minutes or so if it happens. Fatigue will reduce by 3 every 3 minutes.

Fatigued ships will have lower accuracy and evasion.

If your ships are still fatigued upon returning from expedition, your expedition will end up failing even with all other criteria fullfilled.


Sparkle

The polar opposite of Fatigue. If one or more of your ships sparkle, they will gain evasion boost during sortie. The evasion boost stats are not shown in your ship stats directly. Or, if you choose to send a sparkling ship on an expedition, it will have a chance for 150% resource gain and a higher likelihood of returning with a special item (note that this requires the entire fleet to be consisting of sparkling ships).

Medal

Medal(勲章), is a multi-purpose item that can be used to exchange for a small amount of resources or a remodel blueprint(改装設計図).

  • 1 medal can be used to exchange for Fuel x354, Ammunition x354, Steel x354, Bauxite x354 and Instant repair x2.
  • 4 medals are needed to exchange for 1 x remodel blueprint.

Medals can be obtained by clearing certain maps. You can find the amount of medals owned by accessing the Item page(アイテム) at the top menu bar of the main screen. Remodel blueprint is needed to remodel certain ships.

How to exchange medals for rewards?

Tracer-fire effect

This occurs when a ship fires any equipped machine guns to defend itself, reducing incoming damage from enemy bombers. Your flagship will always do this by default, even without any anti-air stat.

Equipment

Color-coded Aircraft

  • SeaplaneLight Green Plane: Seaplane Bomber and Reconnaissance  Seaplane

Color-coded Naval Guns

It is based on their roles, not ability.

  • Medium Caliber Main GunRed Gun: Main Gun; Primarily used against ships, with a secondary role as AA.
  • Secondary GunYellow Gun: Secondary Gun; increase in accuracy and AA stats.
  • Green Gun: High-angle dual-purpose guns or AA machine guns
    • High-Angle GunHigh-angle guns have the ability to effectively attack both aircraft and ships.
    • Anti-Aircraft GunAA machine guns specifically attack aircraft and always trigger tracer-fire effect.

Midget Submarine

Also known by it's design code name Type A Kou-hyoteki (Torpedoes甲標的甲型) which literally means Target Type A, it's a submarine equipable on Torpedo Cruiser (e.g. Kitakami), Submarine, and Seaplane Tender. Frequently used because of their ability to attack before the shelling phase.

Turbine

TurbineEngine Improvement are equippable on any ship. Turbine increases the evasion stat causing enemies have higher miss rate.


Trivia

!すでのな

One of Inazuma's lines written "backwards", in traditional Japanese format. Also appears as a wall scroll in the furniture page.


2-4-11

BURNING LOVE

Notable line from Kongou, a Kongou-class battleship built by Vickers Shipbuilding Company. Loves tea and fond of using English words due to her being built in England. Other examples:

  • 提督ゥ~、You've Got Mail! Love letterは許さないからネ!
  • Wow! Congratulations!
  • Tea timeは大事にしないとネー

KTKM

Shorthand for Kitakami. Wordplay from Japanese netslang KTKR which is read as kita kore, literally 'it's here', sort of like 'woohoo I got it' or 'I've been waiting for this!'.

Melon-chan

Nickname for Yuubari due to her uniform color scheme and general resemblance to a melon as well as the city of Yuubari, on the namesake Yuubari river, which is well known for its melons.

Rensouhou-chan (連装砲ちゃん)

A Danbo-like robot which appears with Shimakaze. Amatsukaze, having a more formal character, calls hers Rensouhou-kun instead.


RJ/Airport

Light Carrier Ryūjō which has a second flight deck very flat chest. Don't complain about it, the chart agrees.


Tenryuu Kindergarten

A common theme where Tenryuu and her destroyers escort was regularly used in expeditions due to her low fuel and ammo cost. The official 4-koma also showed Tenryuu as being good at taking care of children (destroyers), hence the name.

Zekamashi (ぜかまし)

Shimakaze's name read backward (in traditional Japanese, characters are read right-to-left). Found on one of the Rensouhou-chan's life buoy.
