Removed redirect to Combat/Day Battle#First Shelling Phase
'''Range''' {{Range}} is a stat that determines the ship attack order during the [[Combat/Day Battle#First Shelling Phase|First Shelling Phase]] and [[OASW]].
*In those phases, both fleets will take turns shelling the opposing fleet, with the turn order defined by each ship's range {{range}} stat. It is possible to increase a ship's range with proper equipment.
*The shelling order is '''Longest''' > '''Very Long''' > '''Long''' > '''Medium''' > '''Short''' > '''None'''.
**If two or more ships tie for range, the order between them is random.
;Notes
*"Longest" range is only attainable on certain ships, using range extenders (see [[#Range Extension|Range Extension]]).
**Unlike the other ranges, Longest does not have a proper in-game icon and so is just displayed as "Very Long".
*"None" range is mostly reserved for Abyssal Aircraft Carriers and Transport Ships.
=Base Range=
Some ships have a different range than the rest of their type (often following a remodel):

=Range Extension=
{{Range Extension}}
*[[USN|USN DDs]], [[Dan Yang]], and [[Yukikaze Kai Ni]] are the only DDs able to reach:
**'''Long Range''', once equipped with an {{EquipmentLink|SG Radar (Initial Model)|SG Radar (Late Model)|text=SG Radar}},
**'''Very Long Range''', once equipped with both an {{EquipmentLink|SG Radar (Initial Model)|text=Initial}} and a {{EquipmentLink|SG Radar (Late Model)|text=Late}} SG radar.
*Using both a '''Very Long Range''' equipment and a {{Equipment/Link|Type 2 Reconnaissance Aircraft}} on [[Souryuu Kai Ni]], [[Hiryuu Kai Ni]], [[Ise Kai Ni]], or [[Hyuuga Kai Ni]], will set them at '''"Longest Range"'''.
