Library

Field Guide (図鑑表示) is a main menu function where information about ship girls and equipment can be viewed. It is better known as the Library, Gallery, or KancoDex. It is to be found under "Assets" for the English UI.

Note that some cards are still missing in both Libraries:

• Most missing ship cards will eventually be added at some point as new ships or new remodel cards.
• Some equipment cards were never introduced and may never be added, namely cards n° 321, 448, & 462. In addition, the card n° 337 corresponds to the Reppuu Kai Ni (CarDiv 1/Skilled), a never-released equipment.
