The Tone class also, being more lightly armed than the Takao or Myoukou classes, were also named after rivers. − *'''Battleships '''are named after provinces. − **Exceptions: The [[Kongou]] class were originally designed as Battlecruisers, which were named after mountains before "heavy cruiser" became a separately defined class from simply "cruiser". − *'''Aircraft Carriers''' all have the character for "dragon" (<span style="text-align:center;">龍, </span>"ryuu"), "phoenix" (<span style="text-align:center;">鳳</span>, "hou"), "crane" (<span style="text-align:center;white-space:nowrap;">鶴</span>, "kaku") or "falcon" (<span style="text-align:center;">鷹</span>, "you") in them. 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 "millenium". − **While [[Taigei]]'s name was changed to fit in with the standard Aircraft Carrier naming scheme ("Ryuuhou" means "Dragon Phoenix") when she was remodeled into an Aircraft Carrier, neither Chitose nor Chiyoda received the same treatment when they were remodeled. − *'''Submarines '''are simply given operating numbers in the same manner as German U-boats, following a syllable of the word 'Iroha'. All long-range submarines were designated 'I-' (such as all the submarines present in KanColle), where coastal subs began with 'Ro' and training submarines were 'Ha-' In Kancolle, the submarine girls use the classical japanese number syllables (or just the number directly, in [[I-8]]'s case) to make their numbers sound more name-like. − *'''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. − *'''<nowiki>Non-Navy Ships'</nowiki>''' 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 "[[Akitsumaru]]" (an Army ship) and both [[Hiyou]] and [[Junyou]]'s names before they were converted to aircraft carriers: Izumo Maru and Kashiwara Maru. − **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'. − *[[Akashi]] was named after the Akashi Strait, near Kobe. Since she was the only repair ship built for the IJN, the naming conventions of her class are unclear. + + − The Abyssal fleet's 'classes' are the 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.+ + + + + + + − + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + − + − + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + − ! # ||[[:Category:Mutsuki Class|Mutsuki-class]]||Date Launched+ − + + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − ! # ||[[:Category:Fubuki Class|Fubuki-class]]||Date Launched+ + + − + − + − + − + − + − + − ! # ||[[:Category:Ayanami Class|Ayanami-class]]||Date Launched+ − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − ! # ||[[:Category:Hatsuharu Class|Hatsuharu-class]]||Date Launched+ − + + + − + − + − + − ! # ||[[:Category:Shiratsuyu Class|Shiratsuyu-class]]||Date Launched+ − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − ! # ||[[:Category:Asashio Class|Asashio-class]]||Date Launched+ − + − + − + − + − + + + − + − + − + − ! # ||[[:Category:Kagero Class|Kagerou-class]]||Date Launched+ + + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − + − ! # ||[[:Category:Yuugumo Class|Yuugumo-class]]||Date Launched+ − + − + − + − + − + − + − ! # ||Others||Date Launched+ − + − + − + − + − + Line 492:

===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,
*When the enemy fleet crosses the fleet ('''{{color|red|Red T}}'''), both sides receive a significant damage debuff.

===Remodel===
===Remodel===
Often confused with Modernization, will usually result in *ship name*-Kai (改). also known as Upgrading.

===Fatigue===
===Morale===
{{details|Tutorial: FAQ#Alright, I built my ship, kicked some ass and I noticed the orange faces. What gives?|l1=Alright, I built my ship, kicked some ass and I noticed the orange faces. What gives?}}
{{details|Morale and Fatigue}}
Orange/sad faces are displayed next to the ship icon if they are too fatigued. Rest them for 15 minutes or so if it happens. Fatigue will reduce by 3 every 3 minutes. Fatigued ships will have lower accuracy and evasion. If your ships are still fatigued upon returning from expedition, your '''expedition will end up failing even with all other criteria fulfilled.'''
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.
===Sparkle===
===[[Medal]]s & [[Blueprint]]s===
{{details|Tutorial: FAQ#My ship is sparkling.2Fglittering.21|l1=My ship is sparkling/glittering!}}
{{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|Blueprint}}
*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.
*1 medal can also be used to exchange for '''Improvement Materials [[File:Improvement_Materials.png|20x20px]] x4.'''
===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=
===Ships===
<tabber>
|-|BB=
'''Battleships''' were named after provinces.
*Exceptions: The {{Class|Kongou}} were originally battle cruisers, and so are named after mountains.
|-|CV=
|-|Aircrafts=
'''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").
*{{Template:RedPlane}} Red Plane: Carrier-based [[List of Dive Bombers by stats|Dive Bomber]]. Have a strong shelling-phase attack, and prevent Installations from being attacked.
|-|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.
*{{Template:JetFighterBomber2}}{{Template:JetFighterBomber1}} Yellow Jets planes : Carrier-based [[Jets]]. They provide air superiority, have a shelling-phase attack and also carry an initial "Jet Assault"
|-|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]]'').
*{{Template:Land Based Attack Aircraft Blue}} Bluish Plane: ASW specialized plane
|-|Main armement=
|-|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.
*{{Template:YellowGun}}Yellow Gun: Secondary Gun; increase in accuracy and AA stats. They can be equipped by Light Cruisers, Heavy Cruisers, Battleships, and Aircraft Carriers.
====Torpedoes====
|-|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.
*{{Template:Sonar}} SONAR provides both an accuracy bonus and a bonus to ASW.
*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.
* Combining some ASW equipment gives [[Template:Equipment/ASW Synergy|ASW Damage Synergy]]
*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'.
|-|Other=
|-|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>
</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
== Birthdays of Ship Girls ==
|-|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
