Ship locking is a mechanic that places a badge on the banners of all ships that go to a specific map. Ships that are tagged for one of these maps cannot be sortied to another map that also places a badge on ships. Badged ships may also be locked from maps that reject any badged ships, despite not applying a badge. This badge only affects ships in the fleet you are trying to sortie, as well as the secondary fleet if [[Combined Fleet]] is in effect. In most cases, one or more maps and/or difficulties will be exempted from badging, and will be available for any ship to sortie.   Ships are only prohibited from other maps with the ship-locking mechanic, and as such are still able to travel to any normal map or expedition. Going on event [[Expeditions#Support_Expeditions|Support Expeditions]] will not badge ships, however during the very first event featuring ship locks, ships that were badged for any map were unable to be utilized any event support expeditions.

Ship locking is a mechanic that places a badge on the banners of all ships deployed to a specific map and applying certain restrictions on deploying ships with badges.
 +
*Ships used in [[Expeditions#Support_Expeditions|event support expeditions]] do not obtain a badge.
 +
*Ships that are tagged for one of these maps cannot be sortied to another map that would apply a different badge.
 +
:*This applies to all ships in the fleet you're attempting to deploy (both fleets if it's a [[Combined Fleet]]).
 +
:*Since the [[Spring 2015 Event]], the easy difficulty ignores the sortie restriction for that map; the badges are still applied to ships that do not already have a badge, however.
 +
*Certain maps may also reject ships with certain (or all) badges, despite not applying one itself.
 +
:*Example of specific badge rejection: [[Summer 2015 Event#E-7|E-7 of Summer 2015 Event]] rejected ships with <span style="background-color:orange">'''ORANGE'''</span> tags.
 +
:*Example of all badge rejection: [[Summer 2014 Event#E-6|E-6 of Summer 2014 Event]] rejected all ships that has badges.
 +
*Duplicates of ships are considered different entities; tagging of one does not prevent the other from being deployed to a map that applies a different badge.
 +
*Ship locking does not prevent the ship from being deployed to expeditions or non-event maps.
 +
:*[[Summer 2014 Event]], however, disallowed any ships with a badge to go on [[Expeditions#Support_Expeditions|event support expeditions]].
