• Some ships have a different ranges than the rest of their type (often following a remodel):
  • Yamato, Musashi, Littorio, and Roma are the only battleships being Very Long Range.
  • Ise Kai Ni and Hyuuga Kai Ni are the only battleships being Medium Range.
  • Zara and Pola are the only CA being Long Range.
  • Tenryuu-class Kai Ni, Kuma-class Kai Ni, Nagara-class Kai Ni, Yuubari Kai Ni/Toku/D, and Atlanta are the only CLs being Short Range.
  • Tashkent is the only DD being Medium Range.
  • Nisshin and Kamoi are the only AV being Medium Range.
  • Kamoi is the only AO being Medium Range.
  • Taigei is the only AS being Short Range.

• US DDs and Yukikaze Kai Ni are the only DDs that can reach Long Range, once equipped with an SG Radar.
• Using both a Very Long Range equipment and a Type 2 Reconnaissance Aircraft on Ise Kai Ni or Hyuuga Kai Ni, will set them at "Longest Range".
