Ship Type Classification

Ship type codes on the list and the rest of the wiki are based on NATO hull classification or modifications thereof.

  • Many of the types seen in this table are only visible through the in-game Library, and so are not counted in situations like quest/sorties/expeditions compositions
    • Some exceptions do exist and are explicitly noted.
  • Some of those types are not displayed within the game, but are counted within the code and so do count for some situations like quest/sorties/expeditions compositions.

  2. ↑ Historically, all battleships in the game are classified as super dreadnoughts but Gangut and Conte di Cavour.
  3. ↑ Used in some battleships' library description.
  4. ↑ Not a proper NATO hull classification code, the real code being CC, or for "Large Cruisers" being CB.
  5. ↑ Mostly referring to the Kongou-class.
  6. ↑ Abyssal only so far
Notes
  • Some Abyssals also have some other exclusive subtypes.
  • So far, the following types are fully interchangeable regarding Routing, Expeditions, and Quests requirement:
    • CV and CVB
    • SS and SSV

Types seen instead of the "real" ship type, notably on thier cards and in ship menus.

  • Those types have little gameplay effects compared to the main type.
  • The differences can often be resumed to special equipabilities.

Letter Types

The characters 甲/乙/丙/丁 (Kō/Otsu/Hei/Tei), are usually translated in English as simply the letters "A/B/C/D". Many broad types/classes/designs were named with the addition of those letters to further distinguish specific roles or design principles.
