| Zuihou || Identical to Shouhou at Kai, but has a very strong Kai Ni. However, she is very rare and does not drop until late in the main game. If you see her at all, it will be as a side result of attempting to craft CV through Construction. Do not aim to craft her specifically.

=== Battleships ===
Heavily armoured and with high daytime firepower, they're also very expensive to sortie and repair. They come in three flavours: Battleship (BB), Aviation Battleship (BBV), and Fast Battleship (FBB).
Unlike with CVL, their speed will not be important at this stage as it is not recommended to take Battleships to 2-5 anyways. Most standard maps will not let you bring many, so only train '''two''', with at least one being an Aviation Battleship for 1-5 farming.

! Ships !! Explanation
|-
| Kongou, Hiei, Kirishima, Haruna || Their performance at Kai is identical to one another. They drop in the boss nodes of all World 2 maps.
|-
| Nagato, Mutsu || Stronger at Kai than the Kongou sisters, but very rare, especially Nagato. They also have a noticeably higher resupply cost.

! Ships !! Explanation
|-
| Fusou, Yamashiro || The most common Battleship drops. They start off as BB, and remodel to BBV at Kai. They drop virtually everywhere from World 2 onwards.
|-
| Ise, Hyuuga || Better than Fusou and Yamashiro, but harder to get. Like Fusou and Yamashiro, they start as BB and remodel to BBV at only level 10. Drops in the boss nodes of 2-2 and onwards.

In the end, you should have a small but well rounded fleet of 5DD, 2CL, 1~2 CA(V), 2 CV, 2 CVL, 1BBV, 1 (F)BB, 1 AV. This combination of ships, if Kai and modernized, will allow you to tackle every main world map from 1-1 up to 5-2.
=== Ships you should collect ASAP, even if you're not leveling them ===
(this section needs a better name and better formatting, I'll fix it later)
Ships that are extremely important to collect ASAP due to them being required for the important quests that unlock your second, third, and fourth fleets. Getting them should be a high priority.
CL: Sendai, Naka, Jintsuu
CA: Myoukou, Haguro, Nachi, Ashigara
FBB: Kongou, Hiei, Kirishima, Haruna
