Note
  • In Kancolle, "coastal defense ships" are labeled as "DE" and "destroyers escort" as DD and not DE.
  • The term Kūbo (空母?) is a shorthand for Kōkū bokan (航空母艦?), which means "Aircraft Carrier".
  • In-game, the cards & encyclopedia have the ship class English Name, but some are rendered differently from above.
  • "Aircraft Carrying Submarine" instead of "Submarine Aircraft Carrier"
  • "Aircraft Cruiser" instead of "Aviation Cruiser"
  • "Seaplane Carrier" instead of "Seaplane Tender"
  • "Aircraft Carrier" instead of "Standard Aircraft Carrier"
  • "Aircraft Carrier" instead of "Armored Aircraft Carrier"
  • "Battleship" instead of "Fast Battleship"
  • There are no USN hull classification codes for:
  • Submarine Aircraft Carriers
  • Training Cruisers
  • Torpedo Cruisers
  • Aviation Cruisers
  • Armored Carriers
  • KanColle fans occasionally use CVB, which was for the largest aircraft carriers, such as Shinano.
  • Fast Battleships
  • Aviation Battleships
  • Landing Craft Carriers (Amphibious Assault Ship)

General

API link

For more information on this topic, see Play without VPN/Proxy.

A method to play the game without having to access the official DMM website.

Crossing the T

Classic naval strategy in which a line of warships cross in front of a line formation of enemy ships, allowing the crossing line to bring all their guns to bear while receiving fire from only the forward guns of the enemy. Gameplay-wise, when your fleet crosses the enemy fleet, both sides (counter-intuitively) gain a significant increase in firepower. When the opponent crosses your fleet, both sides receive a significant firepower debuff.

Docking

For more information on this topic, see Docking.

This allows your damaged ships to be repaired to full health by consuming steel and fuel. You can use an instant repair (高速修復材) to immediately finish.

Expedition

For more information on this topic, see Expedition.

This is where you send your fleets to complete expeditions, in exchange for resources and certain items. Certain ships and equipment can be obtained exclusively through expeditions.

Food supply ship Mamiya

Blinking button in the 'Organize' menu showing that Mamiya's food can be used.
For more information on this topic, see Morale/Fatigue.

This item removes any fatigue on your fleet. See here for the Wikipedia entry.

Modernization

For more information on this topic, see Modernization.

The process of using spare ships to increase the stats (firepower, AA, torpedo, armor) of ships up to a certain point. Luck can also be modernized with Maruyu, but she is difficult to obtain.

Naval Exercise

For more information on this topic, see Exercises (PvP).

These are battles against other players' fleets. Opposing teams update in real-time, but there is no simultaneous play.

  • New opponent list refreshed at 03:00 and 15:00 JST

Phases of Battle

For more information on this topic, see Combat.
  • Day Battle
    1. Reconnaissance (Stat boost, avoid being T-crossed)
    2. Initial airstrike (opening bombing, air superiority)
    3. Support fleet attack
    4. Opening/initial torpedo strike (see Type A Ko-hyoteki (甲標的甲型))
    5. Shelling/artillery phase (regular airstrike happens here)
    6. Torpedo salvo
  • Night Battle

Remodel

For more information on this topic, see Remodel.

Often confused with Modernization, will usually result in *ship name*-Kai (改). also known as Upgrading.

Fatigue

For more information on this topic, see Alright, I built my ship, kicked some ass and I noticed the orange faces. What gives?.

Orange/sad faces are displayed next to the ship icon if they are too fatigued. Rest them for 15 minutes or so if it happens. Fatigue will reduce by 3 every 3 minutes. Fatigued ships will have lower accuracy and evasion. If your ships are still fatigued upon returning from expedition, your expedition will end up failing even with all other criteria fulfilled.

Sparkle

For more information on this topic, see My ship is sparkling/glittering!.

The polar opposite of Fatigue. If one or more of your ships sparkle, they will gain evasion boost during sortie. The evasion boost stats are not shown in your ship stats directly. Or, if you choose to send a sparkling ship on an expedition, it will have a chance for 150% resource gain and a higher likelihood of returning with a special item (note that this requires the entire fleet to be consisting of sparkling ships).

Medal

For more information on this topic, see Blueprint.

Medals (勲章?) are a multi-purpose item that can be used to exchange for a small amount of resources or a remodel blueprint (改装設計図?).

  • 1 medal can be used to exchange for Fuel x300, Ammunition x300, Steel x300, Bauxite x300 and Instant repair x2.
  • 1 medal can also be used to exchange for Improvement Materials Item Icon Improvement Material.png x4.
  • 4 medals are needed to exchange for 1 x remodel blueprint.

Medals can be obtained by clearing certain maps. You can find the amount of medals owned by accessing the Item page(アイテム) at the top menu bar of the main screen. Remodel blueprint is needed to remodel certain ships.

Tracer-fire effect

This occurs when a ship fires any equipped machine guns to defend itself, reducing incoming damage from enemy bombers. Your flagship will always do this by default, even without any anti-air stat.

Equipment Icons

Color-coded Aircraft

  • Dive Bomber Red Plane: Carrier-based Dive Bomber. Have a strong shelling-phase attack, and prevent Installations from being attacked.

    • Large Flying Boat Flying Boats only participate in bombing if other planes are present, and are only able to be equipped by Akitsushima.
  • Seaplane Fighter Light Green Fighter Plane: are equipable by many seaplanes capable ships and act as regular Fighters.
  • RotorcraftLiaison Aircraft Autogyros, Helicopters, and ASW Planes are only useful against Submarines.
  • LBAS planes :

    • Reconnaissance Aircraft Yellow Plane: Boost accuracy and LOS greatly and act as range extenders.
    • Land-based Patrol Aircraft Bluish Plane: ASW specialized plane
    • Land-based Fighter Green Plane: Interceptor Fighter plane
    • Land-based Fighter Light Green Plane: Interceptor Fighter plane
    • Land-based Attack Aircraft large Green Plane: Landbased Bomber
    • Land-based Heavy Bomber very large Green Plane: Landbased Large Bomber

Color-coded Naval Guns

It is based on their roles, not ability.

  • Red Gun: Main Gun; Primarily used against ships, provide a slight AA bonus.
    • Small Caliber Main Gun Light Guns are Destroyer guns, and can be mounted on Destroyers or Light Cruisers.
    • Medium Caliber Main Gun Medium Guns Are Cruiser guns, and can be mounted on Light Cruisers, Heavy Cruisers, or Battleships (other than Fast Battleships).
    • Large Caliber Main Gun HeavyGuns are Battleship guns, and can only be mounted on Battleships. Depending on the Caliber of the gun, and the ship equipped, there can be either accuracy bonuses or severe mounting penalties.
  • Secondary GunYellow Gun: Secondary Gun; increase in accuracy and AA stats. They can be equipped by Light Cruisers, Heavy Cruisers, Battleships, and Aircraft Carriers.
  • Green Gun: High-angle dual-purpose guns or AA machine guns
  • High-Angle GunHigh-angle guns have the ability to effectively attack both aircraft and ships.
  • Anti-Aircraft GunAA machine guns specifically attack aircraft and always trigger tracer-fire effect.

Torpedoes

  • Torpedoes Torpedoes are able to be equipped on Destroyers, Cruisers, and Submarines.

Midget Submarine

Also known by their design code name Type A/C/D Ko-hyoteki (Torpedoes甲標的甲型) which literally means Target Type A/C/D, they are a submarine equipable on Torpedo Cruisers, Submarines, and Seaplane Tenders. Frequently used because of their ability to attack before the shelling phase by triggering a torpedo opening.

Other

  • RADAR RADARs provide increased accuracy, and also help against aircraft
  • Submarine Equipment Submarine Radars are exclusive to submarines and have a similar effect as regular radars.

IJN ship-naming conventions

  • Destroyers are named after natural phenomena, often snow (雪, "-yuki"), waves (波, "-nami"), rain (雨, "-ame", "-are"), wind (風, "-kaze"), clouds (雲, "-kumo" or "-gumo"), the moon (月, "-tsuki" or "-zuki") or tides (潮, "-shio").
  • Light Cruisers are named after rivers.
  • Heavy Cruisers are named after mountains.
    • Exceptions: The Mogami class were originally designed as Light Cruisers before being extensively modified into Heavy Cruisers (and later Aviation Cruisers), and so are named after rivers.  The Tone class also, being more lightly armed than the Takao or Myoukou classes, were also named after rivers.
  • Battleships are named after provinces.
    • Exceptions:  The Kongou class were originally designed as Battlecruisers, which were named after mountains before "heavy cruiser" became a separately defined class from simply "cruiser".
  • Aircraft Carriers all have the character for "dragon" (龍, "ryuu"), "phoenix" (鳳, "hou"), "crane" (鶴, "kaku") or "falcon" (鷹, "you") in them.  Light carriers tend to have "falcon" or "phoenix" names, where Fleet carriers tend to have "dragon" or "crane" names, but this is not strict.
    • Exceptions:  Akagi and Kaga were originally designed as a battlecruiser and a battleship, respectively, and follow those classes' naming conventions instead (Akagi is named after a mountain, Kaga is named after a province).  Chitose and Chiyoda were not originally aircraft carriers, their names are poetic words for "millenium".
    • While Taigei's name was changed to fit in with the standard Aircraft Carrier naming scheme ("Ryuuhou" means "Dragon Phoenix") when she was remodeled into an Aircraft Carrier, neither Chitose nor Chiyoda received the same treatment when they were remodeled.
  • Submarines are simply given operating numbers in the same manner as German U-boats, following a syllable of the word 'Iroha'.  All long-range submarines were designated 'I-' (such as all the submarines present in KanColle), where coastal subs began with 'Ro' and training submarines were 'Ha-'  In Kancolle, the submarine girls use the classical japanese number syllables (or just the number directly, in I-8's case) to make their numbers sound more name-like.
  • Submarine Tenders were a varied group of ships.  Several of these had the character for "whale" (鯨, "gei") in their names, but many did not.
    • Shouhou and Zuihou were originally designed as Submarine Tenders before being converted into Light Carriers.  Like Ryuuhou, their names were changed upon conversion, they were originally named Tsurugizaki and Takasaki.
  • Non-Navy Ships' names were often appended with "Maru" (丸) the character for 'circle'.  The reason for this tradition seems to have been lost to time, but may be related to the red circle being the symbol and flag of japan (the "hi-no-maru") or as a superstition, helping ships travel a circle of going out to sea and returning home.
    • The examples in KanColle are "Akitsumaru" (an Army ship) and both Hiyou and Junyou's names before they were converted to aircraft carriers: Izumo Maru and Kashiwara Maru.
    • The "maru" in "Maruyu" is a reference to this character, but does not actually appear in her name, which is a circle around the hiragana character 'yu'.
  • Akashi was named after the Akashi Strait, near Kobe.  Since she was the only repair ship built for the IJN, the naming conventions of her class are unclear.


The Abyssal fleet's 'classes' are the based on the Iroha, a classical Japanese alphabetical ordering.  That this is classical Japanese implies that the classes are externally ascribed to the Abyssal fleet ships, especially combined with the highly descriptive names for the bosses.

Trivia

！すでのな

2-4-11

Naka. 2-4-11 refers to the fuel/ammo/steel combination received from her scrap (if scrapping with her default equipment).

Beaver or YKKZ

A nickname for Yukikaze based on her appearance. Japanese fans call her 'Hamster' instead.

  • Wow! Congratulations!
  • Tea timeは大事にしないとネー

KTKM

Shorthand for Kitakami. Wordplay from Japanese netslang KTKR which is read as kita kore, literally 'it's here', sort of like 'woohoo I got it' or 'I've been waiting for this!'.

Melon-chan

Nickname for Yuubari due to her uniform color scheme and general resemblance to a melon as well as the City of Yuubari, on the namesake Yuubari River, which is well known for its melons.

Tenryuu Kindergarten

A common theme where Tenryuu and her destroyers escort was regularly used in expeditions due to Tenryuu's lower ammo cost (compared to other light cruisers). The official 4-koma also shows Tenryuu as being good at taking care of children (destroyers), hence the name.

Whale

Refer to Taigei and Jingei, both having the kanji "鯨" meaning whale in their name.

Zekamashi (ぜかまし)

Shimakaze's name read backward (in traditional Japanese, characters are read right-to-left). Found on one of the Rensouhou-chan's life buoys.
