- 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[1],
- SS & SSV.
- So far, the following types are fully interchangeable regarding Routing, Expeditions, and Quests requirement:
- Some ships have remodels shifting their type, their class, and/or their name, see below for more details.
- ↑ Some routing did differentiate CV & CVB in the past .
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 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.
