Ship Type Classification

Ship type codes on the list and the rest of the wiki are based on NATO hull classification or modifications thereof.

  • Many of the types seen in this table are only visible through the in-game Library, and so are not counted in situations like quest/sorties/expeditions compositions
    • Some exceptions do exist and are explicitly noted.
  • Some of those types are not displayed within the game, but are counted within the code and so do count for some situations like quest/sorties/expeditions compositions.

  1. Not a proper NATO hull classification code, Super Dreadnought being informal and simply called BB.
  2. Historically, all battleships in the game are classified as super dreadnoughts but Gangut and Conte di Cavour.
  3. Used in some battleships' library description.
  4. Not a proper NATO hull classification code, the real code being CC, or for "Large Cruisers" being CB.
  5. Mostly referring to the Kongou-class.
  6. Abyssal only so far
Notes
  • Some Abyssals also have some other exclusive subtypes.
  • So far, the following types are fully interchangeable regarding Routing, Expeditions, and Quests requirement:
    • CV and CVB
    • SS and SSV

Types seen instead of the "real" ship type, notably on thier cards and in ship menus.

  • Those types have little gameplay effects compared to the main type.
  • The differences can often be resumed to special equipabilities.
