While ship speed is generally set speed based upon the type of ship you're using (or in some cases what ship it is). With the introduction of the '''January 10th, 2017 Turbine Boiler update''' ships are now able to improve the speed of which a they can now go by using a '''combination of a turbine and a boiler.'''

[[File:Shimakazefastest.png|thumb|right|Equipping a Turbine and a Boiler make fast DD like Shimakaze go to speeds beyond fast. Here, using a [[Turbine]] and a [[New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler|+13 Boiler]] results in '''Fastest''' speed.]]

[[File:Yamatofast.png|thumb|right|Equipping a Turbine and a Boiler make a BB like Yamato go from slow to fast. Here, using a [[Turbine]] (in the [[RE]]) and an [[Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler|+10 Boiler]] results in '''Fast''' speed.]]
  
−
The most basic example is that it can give slow ships (Like [[Yamato]] and [[Nagato]] the opportunity to go from '''Slow''' to '''Fast''' and this will allow them to become part of a "Fast Fleet" giving them access to branch pathing they would otherwise not have.
+
Speed {{Speed}} represents the speed of a ship. Ships are either '''slow''' or '''fast''' by default. Ship speed can be further increased to '''fast+''' or '''fastest''' 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}}.
  
−
But it can also allow with additional boilers on some ships and giving a Boiler + Turbine combo to go from '''Fast''' to '''Fast+''' and possibly '''Fastest'''
+
=Overview=
 +
Ship's speed can take the following values:
 +
* Slowest (最低速)
 +
* Slow (低速)
 +
* Fast (高速)
 +
* Fast+ (高速+)
 +
* Fastest (最速) (sometimes "Fast ++")
  
−
How the speed changes is reflected based upon the ship itself along with what boilers and turbines you use as more shall be explained below.
+
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 (e.g. [[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 the {{Class|Queen Elizabeth|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'''. The only exception is [[Inagi Kai Ni]].

==Using Turbines and Boilers to Improve a Kanmusu's Speed==

=Speed Change Charts=
−
A Kanmusu can improve her speed by using two of her equip slots to equip the two following equipment items:
+
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.
−
#'''Turbine'''
 
−
#*[[Improved Steam Turbine]]
 
−
#'''Boilers'''
 
−
#*[[Enhanced Steam Boiler]]
 
−
#*[[New High Pressure-Temperature Steam Boiler]]
 
  
−
By equipping a '''Turbine''' and a '''Boiler''', this allows for a kanmusu to be able to change her speed as noted previously. Allowing for ships to go from the following speeds:
+
So far, only 2 "boilers" exist in the game, and they are referred to as:
−
*'''Slow''' (slowest known speed in game)
+
* {{Equipment/Link|Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler}} = +10 Boiler
−
*'''Fast'''
+
* {{Equipment/Link|New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler}} = +13 Boiler
−
*'''Fast+'''
 
−
*'''Fastest''' (Fasted known speed in game)

===Current Noted Effects of Changing Ship's Speed===

'''''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.'''''

As of current, information regarding the effect of turbines and boilers when equipped to a Kanmusu vary depending on the ship you equip them to. While some classes may has similar outcomes, not all will have the same outcome depending on who the kanmusu and what you turbines and boilers you equip to her.

*Using a [[New High Pressure-Temperature Steam Boiler]] along with a turbine will give a boosted effect to your ship's speed that will improve the speed even further in comparison to a [[Enhanced Steam Boiler]].

!Exceptions

*Using multiple boilers with a turbine can result in additional changes to your ships speed possibly improving it further going to even Fast+ and Fastest.

−
*Improving a slow ship to a fast ship using a turbine and boiler combination will result in putting that ship in a fast fleet if all other ships in the fleet are fast giving the once previously slow ships, benefits of a fast fleet.

**By also improving a slow ship to a fast ship it allows for the ship to now benefit by taking branching paths which it would otherwise would not be allowed to travel.

*Ships that are put under '''Fast+''' or '''Fastest''' as of current will only get an evasion boost (from the boilers and turbines) but they will eventually have an additional influence on the outcome of pathing and branching in the future.

−
Listed below is a chart lists the speed effects of using the turbine and boiler combination in all possible known combinations (without the use of [[Reinforcement Expansion]]s). Because all ships require an [[Improved Steam Turbine]] as part of the speed boost requirement, it will not be listed but instead will include '''all possible boiler combinations used along with the turbine.''' The list will categorize speed combinations based upon '''slow all the way to fastest''' where they apply.

Equipping a Turbine and a Boiler make fast DD like Shimakaze go to speeds beyond fast. Here, using a Turbine and a +13 Boiler results in Fastest speed.
Equipping a Turbine and a Boiler make a BB like Yamato go from slow to fast. Here, using a Turbine (in the RE) and an +10 Boiler results in Fast speed.

Speed Speed represents the speed of a ship. Ships are either slow or fast by default. Ship speed can be further increased to fast+ or fastest by using Engine Improvement Engine Improvements, usually a combination of a TurbineImproved Kanhon Type Turbine with one or more BoilersEnhanced Kanhon Type Boiler
New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler.

Overview

Ship's speed can take the following values:

  • Slowest (最低速)
  • Slow (低速)
  • Fast (高速)
  • Fast+ (高速+)
  • Fastest (最速) (sometimes "Fast ++")

There are several effects of increasing ship speed:

  • Meeting routing requirements:
    • Fleet speed affect certain 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 (e.g. 3-2 and 4-5).
  • Combined Fleet composition:
  • Evasion increase:
    • Devs claim ([1]) that higher speed values increase evasion, however, no such bonus has ever been measured ([2][3]).
  • Because Coastal Defense Ships (DE) cannot equip   Engine Improvements, they are the only ship type that cannot be speed-up. The only exception is Inagi Kai Ni.

Speed Change Charts

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:

Unless stated otherwise, synergies listed below already include 1 Improved Kanhon Type Turbine , as it is a requirement for almost all speed-ups.
