"Ships", also referred as "kanmusus" ("ship girls" in Japanese), or simply "girls", are the core of the game. They each are anthropomorphic representations of real World War II warships, with some of their design and personality being derivated from real elements.
- There are 301 ships (without remodels & class changes) as of the 2024-03-03 update.
They come in various Types, Classes, Remodels, and degrees of Rarity, with each having various set of Stats and Mechanics.
- 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.
The ways to acquire ships are:
- Construction (crafting),
- Large Ship Construction (LSC),
- Combat node Drops,
- Quests rewards.

- Notes
- Some ships have unic "type names", being derivated from other regular types. Those names usually do not have any effect gameplay-wise.
- Even so several types of ships are very similar (FBB/BB/BBV, CV/CVL, CA/CAV, & CL/CLT/CT), they nonetheless are different types than can not always be interchanged.
- So far, the following types are fully interchangeable regarding Routing, Expeditions, and Quests requirement:
- CV & CVB[1],
- SS & SSV.
- So far, the following types are fully interchangeable regarding Routing, Expeditions, and Quests requirement:
- 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.
- In some situations, "改" (Kai) is called "改一" (Kai Ichi) for "Remodel 1". This is notably the cases for some submarine types.
