Changing Fleet Composition
Assigning or Swapping Ship Girls
To assign or swap a ship girl in your fleet, you simply need to click the Change (変更) button. This will bring up a list of all the ship girls you possess. You can change how the girls are sorted by clicking on the blue button in the top right and cycling through the following options:
- Level - Sorts from highest to lowest level.
- Ship Type- Sorts by ship type and ID.
- You can filter the ship types shown by using the tabs along the top of the ship girl list. This option is only available for the browser version.
- New - Sorts by newest to oldest.
- Damaged - Sorts by most to least damaged. Undamaged girls are sorted by level.
Once you have made your selection, click on her entry to bring up her stat card. You can then click Change (変更) on her card to confirm your selection.
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 allows you to save fleet compositions and load them quickly. All players start with 3 preset fleets but can unlock more by purchasing a Dock Key (1000 yen) at the Item Shop. You can currently have a total of 15 Preset Fleets.
Recording Presets
Composition Recording can be done by selecting the Composition Record (編成記録) tab located in the bottom left corner of the Composition menu.
You will be presented with a list of your preset fleets and any empty slots. Simply click the blue Record (記録) button to save your current fleet. To delete a preset, click the red Delete (削除) button.
You can also unlock more fleet preset slots from this menu. Locked slots will be displayed at the bottom of the list. If you have Dock Keys in your inventory, you can click the Unlock button to increase the number of fleet presets.
Important Notes
- The fleet name will be recorded as well. Anytime you deploy this fleet, the name will change to the recorded one.
- Equipment is not recorded. Ship girls will be deployed with whatever equipment they currently have on them.
- You cannot record a fleet currently on expedition.
Deploying Presets
Composition Deployment can be done by selecting the Deploy Composition (編成展開) tab located in the bottom left corner of the Composition menu.
You will be presented with a list of all your saved preset fleets. Simply click the blue Deploy (展開) button to load the selected fleet. You can also click the red Delete (削除) button to delete a preset from this menu.
Important Notes
- If you attempt to deploy a preset with girls currently in another fleet, you will get a warning. You can still choose to "Deploy All Except Those Assigned to Another Fleet" (別艦隊配属艦を除いて編成展開), which will only deploy eligible ships in the preset.
- The fleet name will be overwritten with the saved name.
- You can deploy ship girls that are in the docks.
- If a ship girl in the preset is no longer part of your forces, "Decommissioned Ship" (除籍艦) will be displayed in her place.
- You can still load the preset sans the missing girl.
Gifts
Gifts (給) are used to restore the morale of your fleet using items called Mamiya (間宮) and Irako (伊良湖). The number beside the button shows the total number of Mamiya and Irako you possess. Please see Fatigue and Morale for more details on how morale affects ship girls.
Clicking on the button brings up a menu with the following options:
- Use Mamiya - Uses 1 Mamiya to restore a ship girl's morale to 49 if between 40-49 or 40 if under 40. There is a random chance of having some ships get 50 morale.
- Use Irako - Uses 1 Irako to give the flagship and 0-3 consort ships a +25 morale boost. The bonus morale to
- Use Mamiya and Irako - Uses 1 Mamiya and Irako to gives all ships a +16 morale boost with a chance of bonus morale for Destroyers.

Fleet Name
To change the name of your fleet, just type a new name into the text box and clicking the "Edit" (編集) button. This only works if playing on the DMM website or the Android app.
Keep in mind that the fleet's name is also saved when being used for preset compositions as well.
The name of your fleet is merely cosmetic but can be viewed by all players that challenge you in PVP or in Ranking.
