=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=
'''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").
*'''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.
|-|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.
= Birthdays of Ship Girls =
|-|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
