Note
- Both Battleships and Fast Battleships shared the same hull classification, BB.
- Some carriers call themselves 正規空母, Fleet Carriers, to distinguish them from Escort Carriers (auxiliary) or other types of ships. Ship classes such as CV, CVL and CVB are fleet carrier. This term sometimes refers only to CVs.
- Currently there are 147 Ships in the game (Kai/ Kai Ni not included)
