'''"Ship classes"''' refers to the common practice to build multiple ships using a same or similar design. The design is then called a "class", and the class is often named after the name of the 1st built ship of the class, or the initial design's code name. Ships built under the same class are then called "sister ships".

'''"Ship classes"''' refers to the common practice of building multiple ships using a same or similar design.

*In Kancolle, several "classes" are instead referred to by their "type" (e.g. the {{Class|Number 2}} is referred to as the {{Type|Type D Kaiboukan}}).
−
Categories use in-game sorting. Kancolle mostly sorts ship classes nationally and then by implementation date order. Hibiki and Yukikaze's foreign remodels don't count toward this.
+
*Some informal classes are also sometimes used, such as the "{{Type|Special Type Destroyers}}", or the ones listed ''[[#Library Only Classes|below]]''.

===Class Order===
−
(German)Kriegsmarine Vessels

The game order for classes is as follows:
−
(Italian)Regia Marina Vessels
+
{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed fixed-header"
−
(American)USN Vessels
+
!colspan=4|Class Ingame Order
−
(British)Royal Navy Vessels
+
|- class="fixed-header-1"
−
(French)Marine Nationale Vessels
+
!colspan=2|Groups
−
(Soviet)Soviet Vessels
+
!Rowspan=2|Class
−
Swedish Navy Vessels
+
!Rowspan=2|Notes
−
Royal Netherlands Navy Vessels
+
|- class="fixed-header-2"
−
Royal Australian Navy Vessels
+
!Nation
−
Card implementations use an art change criteria--><!--reformatted to one row per kanmusu unless there's no art changes for multiple kanmusu. It is inelegant for destroyers. Any alternatives?-->

The following is a list of cases where the class displayed in the game [[Library]] of a ship is different from the real ship's class.

The following is a list of cases where the class of a ship changes upon [[remodeling]].
−
*None of those cases has any gameplay effect.
+
*This change can have an impact on mechanics asking for a specific class, such as [[Quests]].
−
*Those cases are purely cosmetic, often reflecting IRL concepts, or being fully made-up.
+
*This can also affect the impacted ship's card, looking as if they were not remodeled, despite being already remodeled (''see [[Ship#Ship Rarity|here]]'').
