=General=
===Docking===
===Docking===
{{details|Docking}}
{{details|Docking}}
This allows repairing damaged ships to full health by consuming steel and fuel. Using an {{IR}} instant repair (bucket) (高速修復材) will immediately finish it.
===Expedition===
===Expedition===
{{details|Expedition}}
{{details|Expedition}}
Expeditions are sorties where fleets 2, 3, and 4 can be sent, rewarding resources and certain items. This is the main way to farm resources in the game.
===Modernization===
===Modernization===
{{details|Modernization}}
{{details|Modernization}}
The process of using spare ships to increase the [[Stats]] (firepower, AA, torpedo, armor) of ships up to a certain point. Luck, ASW, and HP can also be increased in some very specific situations.
===Naval Exercise===
{{details|Exercises (PvP)}}
These are battles against other players' fleets. Opposing teams update in real-time, but there is no simultaneous play. This is the main way to level up girls.
*Opponent list refreshed at 03:00 and 15:00 JST.
===Crossing the T===
{{details|Day_Battle#Engagement|l1=Engagement}}
Classic naval strategy in which a line of warships cross in front of a line formation of enemy ships, allowing the crossing line to bring all their guns to bear while receiving fire from only the forward guns of the enemy.
Gameplay-wise:
*When the fleet crosses the enemy fleet ('''{{color|green|Green T}}'''), both sides receive a significant damage buff,
*New opponent list refreshed at 03:00 and 15:00 JST
*When the enemy fleet crosses the fleet ('''{{color|red|Red T}}'''), both sides receive a significant damage debuff.
===Phases of Battle===

===Remodel===
===Remodel===
{{details|Remodel}}
Often confused with Modernization, will usually result in *ship name*-Kai (改). also known as Upgrading.
Often confused with Modernization, will usually result in *ship name*-Kai (改). also known as Upgrading.
===Morale===
{{details|Morale and Fatigue}}
Morale greatly affects Expeditions and Combat. A ship's Morale can range from 0 to 100, it decreases when doing sorties, and increases by 3 every 3 min up to 49 when doing nothing.
====Fatigue====
{{details|Tutorial: FAQ#Alright, I built my ship and kicked some butt, but I noticed the orange faces. What gives?}}
Orange or Red sad faces are displayed next to the ship icon if they are too fatigued. Rest them for 15 to 30 min to have them back at normal morale. Fatigued ships will have lower accuracy and evasion. If girls are still fatigued upon returning from expeditions, the '''expedition will fail''' even with all other criteria fulfilled.
====Sparkle====
{{details|Tutorial: FAQ#My ship is sparkling.2Fglittering.21|l1=Sparkling/glittering!}}
The opposite of Fatigue. If a ship "sparkle", she will gain a boost in sorties. Sparkling also plays a very important role in expeditions, where having multiple sparkled girls can increase significantly the "Great Succes" rate. See [[Help:Sparkling]] to learn how to sparkle ships.
===[[Medal]]s & [[Blueprint]]s===
{{details|Blueprint}}
Medals and Blueprints owned are displayed in the [[Inventory]].
{{Medal}} Medals are a multi-purpose item that can be exchanged for resources, consumables, or a "Remodel Blueprint". They are also needed for certain quests and improvements.
{{details|Tutorial: FAQ#My ship is sparkling.2Fglittering.21|l1=My ship is sparkling/glittering!}}
*They are obtained by clearing certain maps and quests and are common among event rewards.
{{BP}} Blueprints (BP) are items used exclusively to remodel ships, most better remodels requiring at least one Blueprint.
===Tracer-fire effect===
===Tracer-fire effect===
This occurs when a ship fires any equipped machine guns to defend itself, reducing incoming damage from enemy bombers. Your flagship will always do this by default, even without any anti-air stat.
This occurs when a ship fires any equipped AA guns against planes. The flagship will always do this by default, even without any anti-air stat.

=Japanese Naming Conventions=
===Color-coded Aircraft===
===Ships===
<tabber>
|-|BB=
*{{Template:GreenPlane}}Green (Carrier-based) Plane: Air Superiority Fighter
'''Battleships''' were named after provinces.
*Exceptions: The {{Class|Kongou}} were originally battle cruisers, and so are named after mountains.
*{{Template:Seaplane}}Seaplane: Uncategorized, recon and bomber seaplane are lumped together in the seaplane icon with the same color (light-green).
|-|CV=
'''Aircraft Carriers''' were named after flying beasts, being the "dragon" (龍, "ryuu"), "phoenix" (鳳, "hou"), "crane" (鶴, "kaku"), or "falcon" (鷹, "you"). Light carriers tend to have "falcon" or "phoenix" names, where fleet carriers tend to have "dragon" or "crane" names, but this is not strict.
*Exceptions: [[Akagi]] and [[Kaga]] were originally designed as a battlecruiser and a battleship, respectively, and follow those classes' naming conventions instead (Akagi is named after a mountain, Kaga is named after a province). [[Chitose]] and [[Chiyoda]] were not originally aircraft carriers, their names are poetic words for "millennium", and they kept those names after being converted (a choice of their crew). Only [[Taigei]]'s name was changed to fit in with the standard carrier naming scheme ("Ryuuhou" means "Dragon Phoenix").
|-|CA=
'''Heavy/Battle Cruisers''' were named after Japanese mountains.
*Exceptions: The {{Class|Mogami}} class were originally designed as light cruisers before being reclassified into heavy cruisers (and later aviation cruisers), and so are named after rivers. The {{Class|Tone}}, being more lightly armed than the Takao or Myoukou classes, were also named after rivers.
|-|CL=
'''Light Cruisers''' were named after Japanese rivers.
|-|DD=
'''Destroyers ''' were named after natural phenomena/weather, often snow (雪, "-yuki"), waves (波, "-nami"), rain (雨, "-ame", "-are"), wind (風, "-kaze"), clouds (雲, "-kumo" or "-gumo"), tides (潮, "-shio"), or the moon (月, "-tsuki" or "-zuki").
|-|DE=
'''Kaiboukans''' were named after small Japanese islands.
|-|SS=
'''Submarines''' were simply given operating numbers in the same manner as German U-boats, following a syllable of the word 'Iroha'. All 1st Class submarines were designated 'I-' (such as all the submarines present in KanColle), where 2nd and 3rd Class submarines began with 'Ro' and training submarines were 'Ha-'.
*In Kancolle, the girls use the classical or modern Japanese number reading to make their nicknames (''see [[#"Official" nicknames|here]]'').
|-|AS=
'''Submarine Tenders''' were a varied group of ships. Several of these had the character for "whale" (鯨, "gei") in their names, but many did not.
*Shouhou and Zuihou were originally designed as Submarine Tenders before being converted into Light Carriers. Like Ryuuhou, their names were changed upon conversion, they were originally named Tsurugizaki and Takasaki.
|-|Aux=
Other ships (like AV/AO/AP) were named after various things, such as maritime locations (like straits), poetic ideas, ancient Japanese designations and concepts, or other Japanese locations like cities or sub-prefectures.
|-|Non-navy=
'''"Non-navy ship"''' names were often appended with "Maru" (丸) the character for "circle". The reason for this tradition seems to have been lost to time, but may be related to the red circle being the symbol and flag of Japan (the "hi-no-maru") or as a superstition, helping ships travel a circle of going out to sea and returning home.
*The examples in KanColle are [[Shinshuu Maru]], [[Akitsu Maru]], [[Kumano Maru]], and [[Yamashio Maru]] ([[IJA|Army ships]]) and [[Kasuga Maru]] and [[Yawata Maru]] (civilian ships). Both [[Hiyou]] and [[Junyou]] were also renamed as converted carriers, from Izumo Maru and Kashiwara Maru respectively.
*The "maru" in "[[Maruyu]]" is a reference to this character, but does not actually appear in her name, which is a circle around the hiragana character 'yu'.
|-|Abyssal=
The "[[Enemy/Common|common abyssal classes]]" are based on the [[wikipedia:Iroha|Iroha]], a classical Japanese alphabetical ordering. That this is classical Japanese implies that the classes are externally ascribed to the Abyssal fleet ships, especially combined with the highly descriptive names for the bosses.
</tabber>
In modern days, some of those naming conventions are still in use in Japan, but applied to modern ship types.
===Tanks===
Tanks were given composed names using the following rules:
<tabber>
|-|1st Part=
*1st name part, the type of tank:
**Light: Ke
**Medium: Chi
**Heavy: O
**Gun (Tank Destroyer): Ho
|-|2nd Part=
*2nd name part, the number of the tank within its type:
**1: I or Yi
**2: Ro
**3: Ha
**4: Ni
**5: Ho
**6: He
**7: To
**8: Chi
**9: Ri
**10: Nu
**11: Ru
**12: O or Wo
|-|Example=
Using the medium tanks as an example:
*Chi-I (Medium First): None (most likely Experimental Type 1 Tank)
*Chi-Ro (Medium Second): Type 89 I-Go
*Chi-Ha (Medium Third): Type 97 Chi-Ha
*Chi-Ni (Medium Fourth): Type 97 Chi-Ni (never got out of prototype status)
*Chi-Ho (Medium Fifth) Type 98 Chi-Ho (never got out of prototype status)
*Chi-He (Medium Sixth): Type 1 Chi-He
*Chi-To (Medium Seventh): Type 4 Chi-To
*Chi-Ri (Medium Ninth): Type 5 Chi-Ri
*Chi-Nu (Medium Tenth): Type 3 Chi-Nu
