Quick List
Ship Type Identification
Class | Abbreviation | Combat Notes | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
駆逐艦 | Destroyer | 駆逐 | DD | High evasion, low resource consumption, & ASW-capable, but lacks armor & firepower. |
軽巡洋艦 | Light Cruiser | 軽巡 | CL | Very flexible. Utilizes medium main guns, ASW, & artillery spotting. |
重雷装巡洋艦 | Torpedo Cruiser | 雷巡 | CLT* | Can equip Type A Ko-hyoteki to enable the opening torpedo attack. |
重巡洋艦 | Heavy Cruiser | 重巡 | CA | Stronger in surface combat than light cruisers at the expense of ASW. |
航空巡洋艦 | Aviation Cruiser | 航巡 | CAV* | A CA that is capable of initiating fighter combat to enable artillery spotting & ASW via seaplane bombers. |
戦艦 | Battleship | 戦 | BB | Utilizes high-caliber main guns, heavy armor, & the second shelling phase. Lacks ASW & torpedo attacks. |
Fast Battleship | The Kongou-class & Bismarck. Has faster repair times. | |||
航空戦艦 | Aviation Battleship | 航戦 | BBV* | Has ASW via seaplane bombers & can initiate fighter combat to enable artillery spotting. |
正規空母 | Standard Aircraft Carrier | 空母 | CV | Achieves air superiority by fighters. Cannot attack during night battle. Must equip with bombers to enable regular attacks. |
装甲空母 | Armored Aircraft Carrier | 装母 | CV | Taihou can still attack with moderate hull damage. |
軽空母 | Light Aircraft Carrier | 軽母 | CVL | Weaker than standard carriers, but capable of attacking submarines. |
水上機母艦 | Seaplane Tender | 水母 | AV | The Chitose-class' basic form. Can participate in all day attack stages given the correct setup. |
潜水艦 | Submarine | 潜 | SS | Limited to both torpedo phases & night battle. Only ships with ASW can attack them. |
潜水空母 | Submarine Aircraft Carrier | 潜母 | SSV* | Some submarines can equip seaplanes. |
揚陸艦 | Amphibious Assault Ship | 揚陸 | LHA* | Akitsu Maru comes with a Daihatsu, which increases resource gain from expeditions. |
工作艦 | Repair Ship | 工 | AR | Akashi can repair ships while idle. Explained on her page. |
潜水母艦 | Submarine Tender | 潜母艦 | AS | Taigei is weak, but enables superior pathing in 6-1. |
Notes
- Battleships & Fast Battleships share the hull classification, BB.
- Light Aircraft Carriers & Standard Aircraft Carriers are termed 正規空母, or Fleet Carriers, to distinguish them from Escort Carriers or other carrier types. This term sometimes refers only to Standard Aircraft Carriers.
- There are 151 kanmusu (sans remodels & class changes) as of the February 6th, 2015 Update.
Exceptions
- Training Cruisers & Torpedo Cruisers do not count as a Light Cruiser for expeditions or branching rules requirements.
- Similarly, Aviation Cruisers & Aviation Battleships do not count as a Heavy Cruiser & Battleship, respectively[0].
- The Chitose-class' carrier remodels shifts them from Seaplane Tenders to Light Aircraft Carriers.
- Taigei's remodel shifts her from a Submarine Tender to a Light Aircraft Carrier.
Ship Stats
- Firepower , Torpedo , Anti Air , Armor , & Luck can be upgraded by Modernization.
- Firepower , Torpedo , Anti Air , Armor , Anti-Submarine , Line of Sight , & Evasion will improve from leveling up.
- Marrying a ship will increase her HP , Luck , & level cap. The increase in level cap allows the ship to have higher Anti-Submarine , Evasion , & Line of Sight .
- Ship remodel
- 改 (Kai), in Japanese, stands for Modified, Revised, Improved, or Altered. It's used on all single remodelled ships.
- ニ (Ni), in Japanese, stands for the number 2 or Second. It's applied in combination with 改 to ships with a second remodel.
- Zwei, in German, stands for the number 2 or Second. It's applied alone to ships with a second remodel.
- Drei, in German, stands for the number 3 or Third. It's applied alone to ships with a third remodel.
- Although German kanmusu have a 改, they omit it with Zwei & Drei.
- Speculatively, the developers probably thought that it sounds or looks cool & German is 'exotic'[1].
- Although German kanmusu have a 改, they omit it with Zwei & Drei.
- Rarity
- Top-Left : Common
- Bottom-Right : Ultra-rare
- Based on Kanmusu Catalog, the ships' rarity classifications are the following: C>SC>R>SR>H>SH
Note that other than background color, the metallic symbol on the top left corner may also identify rarity.
