Speed {{Speed}} represents the speed of a ship. Ship are either '''slow (低速)''' or '''fast (高速)''' by default. As of the [[Game_Updates/2017/January_10|10 Jan 2017 Update]], ship speed can be further increased to '''fast+ (高速+)''' or '''fastest (最速)''' by using a combination of {{Turbine}} [[Engine Improvement]]s: 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}}.

There are several effects of increasing ship speed:

There are several effects of increasing ship speed:

* Meeting routing requirements:

* Meeting routing requirements:

** Fleet speed affect certain [[Combat/Map Mechanics and Nodes#Routing|map routing]].

** Fleet speed affect certain [[Routing|map routing]].

*** Note that this does not apply to ''ship type'' requirements (eg. a BB will not count as an FBB where FBBs are specifically required).

*** 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]]).

** BB/BBV that are '''fast+''' can be placed in the escort fleet of STF/TCF (only '''fast''' for [[Warspite Kai]]).

* ''Evasion increase''.

* ''Evasion increase'':

** Although this has been stated by the developers to occur, testing has not shown any significant increase in evasion.

** 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 sped up'''.

* 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'''.
