This page is a listing of a number of historical naval formations containing ships that appear in KanColle. Note that many of these formations had multiple 'generations', that ships were often part of multiple formations at a time, and that accurate historical records of these units are very difficult to ascertain. Multiple reorganizations occurred over the course of the war as losses took their toll.
In Japanese, there is no distinction drawn between Battleship and Cruiser divisions, they are simply called "battlegroups" (sentai).
