#It's time to '''Sortie/出撃'''. At this point you can sortie to the first map by clicking on the turret and plane icon and selecting the only available map. It's probably safest if you retreat after the first battle as your ship will not be strong enough if the navigational compass sends you to the boss stage (the route taken is random). To ensure this, select the right hand option (Retreat/撤退) after the battle is over.

* {{DoubleLine}} '''Double line''' (複縦陣) - Balanced formation that gives the highest accuracy in shelling, but less damage than line ahead. Torpedoes have moderate accuracy and damage.  Moderately weak against submarines. Available at 4 ships.

* {{Diamond}} '''Diamond''' (輪形陣) - Anti-air formation that decreases accuracy and damage. Strong against submarines, and very strong against aircraft. This formation also increases the chance that other ships will take damage instead of your flagship ([[Combat#Flagship Protection|flagship protection]]). Available at 5 ships.

Use Line ahead by default. Against submarine use Lineabreast and against air raid use Diamond.

If either (or both) of the above conditions is true, no matter how much damage the ship takes, the game will cap the damage dealt to her so she will always have 1HP left.

You are allowed to enter a new battle with ships which have lost sinking protection (i.e. in the {{color|red|'''heavily damaged (大破)'''}} state), but they will be at risk of sinking, and {{TextGlow|'''when a ship sinks you lose the ship forever'''|red|glow-size=2px}} alongside all equipments carried by it.

In further sorties a red gauge meter may shows up when starting a sortie. The amount of red bars inside gauge meter indicates that you will need to sink the flagship of the boss fleet for certain times to unlock the next zone or just clearing the map, instead of obtaining a victory. The gauge meter itself does not regenerate for all map. However the bar reset at the beginning of every mounth for all '''Extra Operation''' (X-5) and map of [[World 7]]

Click the '''Repair button (入渠)''' on the Main Screen. You will see your repair docks (two by default; more can be unlocked by purchasing the key from the cash shop.) Click a dock to see a list of your ships, by default ordered by the extent of damage taken. When you select a ship, you will see a screen similar to that on the right.

Every repair costs a large amount of steel and a smaller amount of fuel. By clicking the slider, you can also use an {{IR}} {{TextGlow|'''Bucket'''|black|text-colour=Lime|glow-size=1px}}(also know as Instant Repair Item), which looks like a green bucket with the word 修復 on it. These are more abundant than you might expect- it may be possible to run out of them if you use one on every single repair, but don't hesitate to use them on particularly long ones.

Click the button on the bottom right (入渠開始！！) to start the repair. Unlike when building ships, there's no need to 'claim' a repaired ship. Also, there is a bug that may be of interest to KanColle addicts; if less than one minute remains on a repair timer, it will be completed immediately upon switching screens.

You'll probably want to build some more ship girls to bring your first fleet up to its maximum of 6 (this is one of your quest objectives, actually.) Click the Factory (工廠) button on the main screen.

Please bear in mind that the result of ship construction is random. The actual rate to obtain a ship might be lower than the rate shown in the [[Construction]] page due to statistical errors. You can safely assume that the actual rate of obtaining a rare ship is far lower than the rate shown.

The slider will allow you to use a {{IC}}{{TextGlow|'''Instant Construction'''|gray|text-colour=Goldenrod|glow-size=1px}} (also know as torch or flamethrower. You are unlikely to run out of these unless you build ships nonstop. However, if attempting to build a specific type of ship, you may wish to begin the build first, compare the build time to those listed on [[Construction]] page to see what you're building, and then instantly complete the build if you so wish by clicking the button on the right of the dock.

'''解体/Scrapping''' ships will destroy a ship to give you a small portion of materials, and should be self-explanatory when performed in game. The amount of materials returned is meager enough that you should consider using unwanted ships for [[modernization]] instead. '''All equipment on a ship will be scrapped as well''' when you scrap a ship, so if you want to keep the equipment you may wish to remove it first.

'''開発/development''' is similar to building ships, but the result depends on the flagship of your main fleet as well as the materials used, and has a '''chance to fail completely''' which is rather high when not following a pre-tested formula. Upon a failure, you will lose all materials used except the development material.
