>battleships

This is a battleship:



This is NOT a battleship:



For that matter, this isn't a battleship either:



Neither is this:



For those who don't know their IJN warships beyond KanColle: First ship is the battleship Nagato, second ship is the Shiratsuyu-class destroyer Yamakaze (sister ship of the recently introduced Umikaze and Kawakaze), third ship is the aircraft carrier Kaga (though it did start off life as a Tosa-class battleship before being converted to an aircraft carrier), fourth ship is the seaplane carrier Mizuho. "Battleship" is a very specific term that refers to a very specific type of warship. None of the ships in this latest update qualify for that descriptor.

It's actually really easy to play the game. Just follow the instructions on the KanColle wiki page and it shows you how to set up an account in no time at all. Obviously it's completely in Japanese but once again with help from the wiki, it doesn't take too long to understand what each button does.

Well, I see a bunch of lolicon pandering destroyers, but I'm not seeing any battleships.

Ok I saw on the wiki that it was Japan only, I'll take a better look at setting up an account then.

I like Hayasui and Teruzuki's design, I don't see those two hairstyle's very often in anime/manga.

urgh, the heck is this?
the "battleship" is a type of warship, not a correct term to use in this article

should just use warship, or kanmusu/kantai musume(ship girls) if want to put Kancolle related word
