There are 282 kanmusus (without remodels & class changes) as of the 09/11/2022 update. They come in various Types, Classes, Remodels, and degrees of Rarity.

  • The majority of ships ingame comes from the "Imperial Japanese Navy" (IJN), with some other ships from either the "Imperial Japanese Army" (IJA), or other nations.

Notes
  • Some ships have additional unique types, but with no impact on types' mechanic behaviors.
    • See here for a complete classifications list.
  • Battleships & Fast Battleships share the hull classification 戦/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 most often refers only to Standard Aircraft Carriers.
  • Even so several types of ships are very similar (CL/CLT/CT, CA/CAV, FBB/BB/BBV, & CV/CVL), they nonetheless are different types than can not always be interchanged, notably regarding branching rules, most Quests, or some Expeditions.
    • So far, both CV & CVB as well as SS & SSV are fully interchangeable.
  • Some ships have remodels shifting their type, their class, and/or their name, see below for more details.

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.
