装甲空母 Armored Aircraft Carrier 装母 CVB Armored Aircraft Carriers can still attack with moderate hull damage.
軽空母 Light Aircraft Carrier 軽母 CVL Weaker than standard carriers, but capable of attacking submarines and are more permissive routing-wise.
Heavy Cruisers 重巡洋艦 Heavy Cruiser 重巡 CA Stronger in surface combat than light cruisers at the expense of ASW capacity.
航空巡洋艦 Aviation Cruiser 航巡 CAV* CA capable of using most Seaplanes, initiating fighter combat to enable artillery spotting, and with ASW capacities.
Light Cruisers 軽巡洋艦 Light Cruiser 軽巡 CL Very flexible. Utilizes Medium Guns, Torpedoes ASW, & artillery spotting.

Coastal Defense 海防艦 Coastal Defense Ships 海防 DE* ASW-focused ships, they can OASW at 60 ASW but are slow and weak.
Submarines 潜水艦 Submarine SS Limited to both torpedo phases & night battle. Only vulnerable to ASW.
潜水空母 Submarine Aircraft Carrier 潜母 SSV* Submarines that can equip Seaplanes.
Auxiliaries 水上機母艦 Seaplane Tender 水母 AV Seaplanes focussed ships, they can participate in all day attack stages given the correct setup.

工作艦 Repair Ship AR Akashi have special repair mechanics and is needed to improve equipment.

Notes:

  • * Abbreviations are derived rather than official
  • Battleships & Fast Battleships share the hull classification, BB.
  • Light Aircraft Carriers & Standard Aircraft Carriers are termed 正規空母, or Fleet Carriers, to distinguish them from Escort Carriers or other carrier types. This term sometimes refers only to Standard Aircraft Carriers.
Exceptions

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 (Kai) added in their name, which stands for Modified, Revised, Improved, or Altered in Japanese. For the 2nd remodel, (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.
