Speed {{Speed}} represents the speed of a ship girl. Ship girls are either '''slow (低速)''' or '''fast (高速)''' by default. As of the [[Game_Updates/2017/January_10|10 Jan 2017 Update]], ship girl speed can be further increased to '''fast+ (高速+)''' or '''fastest (最速)''' by using a combination of {{Turbine}} {{EquipmentLink|Improved Kanhon Type Turbine|text=Turbine}} with one or more {{EquipmentLink|Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler|New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler|text=Boilers}}.

Speed {{Speed}} represents the speed of a ship. Ship are either '''slow (低速)''' or '''fast (高速)''' by default. Ship speed can be further increased to '''fast+ (高速+)''' or '''fastest (最速)''' by using {{Turbine}} [[Engine Improvement]]s, usually a combination of a {{EquipmentLink|Improved Kanhon Type Turbine|text=Turbine}} with one or more {{EquipmentLink|Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler|New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler|text=Boilers}}.

Ship's speed can take the following values:
* Slow (低速)
* Fast (高速)
* Fast+ (高速+)
* Fastest (最速) (sometimes "Fast ++")
*** Note that this does not apply to ''ship type'' requirements. Eg a BB will not count as a FBB where FBBs are specifically required.
* [[Combined Fleet]] composition.
There are several effects of increasing ship speed:
* Meeting routing requirements:
** Fleet speed affect certain [[Routing|map routing]].
*** Note that this does not apply to ''ship type'' requirements (e.g. a BB will not count as an FBB where FBBs are specifically required).
*** Most map routings are only affected by slow/fast fleets, '''fast+''' and '''fastest''' being required for routing in very few maps (eg. [[3-2]] and [[4-5]]).
* [[Combined Fleet#Combined Fleet Types|Combined Fleet composition]]:
** BB/BBV that are '''fast+''' can be placed in the escort fleet of STF/TCF (only '''fast''' for [[Warspite Kai]]).
* ''Evasion increase'':
** Devs claim ([https://twitter.com/KanColle_STAFF/status/818739607776804866]) that higher speed values increase evasion, however, no such bonus has ever been measured ([https://twitter.com/Xe_UCH/status/819164409025032195][http://ja.kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%AC%E3%83%83%E3%83%89:676]).
* Because [[Coastal Defense Ships]] (DE) cannot equip {{Engine}} [[Engine Improvement]]s, they are the only ship type that '''cannot be speed-up'''.

It is '''highly recommended''' to have a [[Reinforcement Expansion]] on ships that are sped-up. Ships sped up without using a RE will have '''severely degraded combat efficiency''' in most cases.
So far, only 2 "boilers" exist in the game, and they are referred to as:
* {{Equipment/Link|Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler}} = +10 Boiler
* {{Equipment/Link|Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler}} = +10 Boiler
* {{Equipment/Link|New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler}} = +13 Boiler
* {{Equipment/Link|New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler}} = +13 Boiler
'''''All synergies listed below already include 1 {{Equipment/Link|Improved Kanhon Type Turbine}} because it is an absolute requirement for speed ups.'''''
'''''Unless stated otherwise, synergies listed below already include 1 {{Equipment/Link|Improved Kanhon Type Turbine}}, as it is a requirement for almost all speed-ups.'''''
