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

===Class Order===
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.
The game order for classes is as follows:
{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed fixed-header"
!colspan=4|Class Ingame Order
|- class="fixed-header-1"
!colspan=2|Groups
!Rowspan=2|Class
!Rowspan=2|Notes
|- class="fixed-header-2"
!Nation
!Type
|-
!Rowspan=78|IJN
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?-->
