Removing Ship Girls
There are two ways to remove a ship girl from your fleet:
- Select the ship girl you want to remove and press the Change (変更) button. Then select the Undo (はずす) at the top of your ship girl list. This option is at the top of every page in the browser version but only at the top of the first page in Android.
The 1st fleet flagship (secretary ship) cannot be removed and can only be swapped out.
- The second way is to select the "Remove All but Flagship" (随伴艦一括解除) option located at the top. This option will remove all ship girls but the flagship.
Adjusting Fleet Positions
You are able to click and drag ship girls around to adjust their position in the fleet. To do this, click on the ship girl's portrait and drag her to the desired position. She will swap places with the girl in that position.
You can also use this method to quickly remove girls from the fleet by clicking and dragging her portrait off the fleet slots.
Locking Ship Girls
You can lock ship girls to prevent them from being available for Modernization or Dismantling. To lock a ship girl, click the Change (変更) button to bring up the ship girl list and mouse over the empty space on the right of the list. A greyed out unlocked padlock will appear. Click on it to lock a ship girl.
Always remember to lock the ship girls you wish to keep.
Preset Fleets
Fleet presets allow to save fleet compositions and load them quickly. All players start with 3 preset fleets but can unlock more by purchasing a Dock Opening Key (1000 yen) from the Shop.
- A maximum of 19 Preset Fleets are currently available, this amount may be increased in future updates.
Recording Presets

- Ship girls in the docks can be deployed.
- If a ship girl in the preset is no longer part of the forces, "Decommissioned Ship" (除籍艦) will be displayed in her place.
