1:25:00/125

Takao-class (Takao, Atago, Maya, Chokai)

Building time of Takao-class CAs. Since Takao-class are the most common ships you get while constructing, 1:25:00 is actually very annoying.

Any admirals who showing off ships will be banned for 1:25 by admins manually.

Also, 125 is a curse of this game in some people's opinion:

• 1:25:00, refers to above
• Code 125 is connection error
• On 25^th January 2015, 50 Steels incident happened.
• On 5PM 12^th February 2015, All characters at Bismarck server were rollbacked.
• There were 125 crews on William D. Porter who is the most unlucky ship in WWII.
• 2015, how many bad things happened?

After World War I, they were the only seven Super-Dreadnought Battleships permitted after the passing of the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty, hence why they got the name "Big Seven."

More commonly, Big Seven refers to their skill "BIG SEVEN" after Modification.

BSM(Persian cat)

Bismarck

Coincidentally, Bismarck's Chinese name contains three characters which starts with B S M as well.

In game, a part of Bismarck's hair somewhat resembles cat's ear. Also, the starting letter of Persian cat in Chinese is also BSM, therefore she is commonly referred to as cat.

Dalao

Pro Admirals/Players.

Chinese players usually call pros "dalao".

Dark Alchemy

Dark Alchemy refers to the action of exploiting lv1 dd's to obtain resources. The procedure is approximately the following:

Send one lv1 dd to 1-1 to get 2nd dd to drop. After the 2nd ship is obtained, first ship is dismembered for scarce resources. Then the second ship is sent back to 1-1 to get a third ship, and after the third ship is obtained the second is dismembered. Cycle goes on.

Some players use scripts to repeat this cycle numerous times to obtain resources(technically this is cheating, but the use of scripts and programs are difficult to detect). This is frown upon by most players, and developers added a daily 500 drop limit to combat this action.

Dead End

The way that can't go the BOSS point in battles

F

Fifty Steels

Vanguard

She was able to be constructed during the event (25 Jan. to 27 Jan.) but the lowest steel limit is 650 instead of 600, which led to lots of players failing to build Vanguard. This event caused a great loss of resources and Vanguard is called "the Fifty Steels" by Chinese players since the event.

Fish/Gold Fish

Prior to obtaining a Modification, Akagi was notoriously infamous for sharing an uncanny resemblance to Kantai Collection's Akagi. After obtaining a Modification, the official artist for Warship Girl's Akagi noted that players from this point forward should not think of Akagi as being a clone of KC's Akagi, but rather to think of Akagi Mod as a "fox spirit," referring to her new design.

Fubuki Squad

Also referred to as the "Bucky Squad."

An all-Destoyer fleet that uses Fubuki (Flagship), Shirayuki, and four other Special-type (Akatsuki-class, Ayanami-class, or Fubuki-class) Destroyers.

G

Generalist

Shipgirls that are good in almost every single situation and can be considered standard for most, if not all, fleet compositions.

L

Lady Lex/Waifu

Lexington

Historical nickname for the ship appropriated by players. The second part came about due to the fact that she is the first easily obtainable end-game ship (thus the first obtained end-game ship for most player), she is usually the first ship to get 100 affection and therefore the first ship most players are married to. According to data released at 2015 July 18, of the 572,111 married ships in game, 238,415 was Lex. Second and third highest being Rodney at 124,681 and Renown at 84,195.

Obviously Lexington is everyone's waifu.

A term referring to those with low level ships and less adequate equipment due to lack of dedication and/or in grinding their warship girls.

Lessex

The name combines her name "Lexington" with her class "Essex."

This is to avoid confusion with the American Lexington-class Aircraft Carrier Lexington (designated CV-2).

Nickname for Helena, one of the most popular choice for escorting DDs and CVs in game. Did she earn the name because of her abnormally large..I mean, her abnormally high firepower?

Marina / Marina Akizuki

• Constructing at a specific time increases the probability of getting rarely ships
• Appointing a specific ship as flagship increases the probability of letting RNGesus send your fleet to where you want
• Using high-luck ships increases the probability of getting EBS in Expedition.
• Watching Star wars increases the probability of passing DEC15 Ex-5 and getting USS Enterprise, eating potatoes as fishing for O'Bannon increases the probability of getting her. Or something like that.
• Illustrators can get whatever they want in the game by drawing it.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel

Northotaku

Tirpitz

She was called so by Norwegians (Lonely Queen of the North, "Den ensomme Nordens Dronning").

Aside from being powerful, Tirpitz also has the highest HP to steel ratio in terms of repairing. Therefore most players rarely use her for actual battles (especially after other high speed BB's are introduced into the game and she is no longer one of the only few high speed BB's), and she seems to always be sitting in dock. Plus, if you zoom in on her drawing, she has a manga on her thigh, thus she is commonly referred to as "Otaku of the North", or "Northotaku" for short.

Illustrators I think you're smart enough the get this one

S

S/L

THIS IS THE ONLY LEGAL CHEAT METHOD YOU CAN USE IN THE GAME.

Also know as Save/Load Method.(which usually use in galgame) which is a method by using re-login to reach some point or to restart the PVP battle when you nearly lose. Here is the step:

1.When you have reach a unwanted node or resource node, or you feel badly in PVP battle, or you click the "Go Ahead(前进)" button by mistake, QUIT THE GAME IMMEDIATELY( BEFORE THE NEXT BATTLE STARTS).

2.Re-login to the game.

After that, you will reach the main page. If you quit the game before the battle. Congratulations, you have successfully use the method, and you have avoid the battle which originally you have to get in. It is important that you quit the game before the battle starts, because when the battle starts, the result will come out and you have fail to use this method.(expect for PVP battle)

If you quit the game after you have reached a resources node, you will still obtain the resources at the resources node you gained.

By repeating this method several times, you can get into any node you like at the start without any extra battles, also you can restart when you fail to reach a point which is by random navigation.(If you keep going in the wrong node, wash your face and S/L again.)

If you quit the game in the middle of PVP battle(expect that you are already in the night battle), the battle will not count as finished, and you can challenge again.(If you still keep losing, wash your face and S/L again)

Sister Sara / Sis-in-Law

Saratoga

Historical nickname for the ship appropriated by players. Some admirals love Sara more than Lex. If you married Lex, Saratoga is sister in law, it is also a common nickname for Saratoga because there are so many admirals decided to marry Lexington, or...both?

Actually Saratoga was earlier to laid down and launched then Lex, but still Lex becomes Saratoga elder sister...

Shipgirls that have a very specific or very limited use, and are in general not seen much outside of that use or role.

T

Tallboy

The nickname for the American (Light / Fleet) Aircraft Carrier Ranger.

The nickname comes from the "Tallboy Bomb" equipment from the Operation Valkyria event, which increases the effectiveness of Dive Bombers for Aircraft Carriers. Since Ranger Mod's skill increases the effectiveness of Dive Bombers and Ranger's fourth slot carrying aircraft carrying capacity is quite low, it is common to see most Ranger Mods using a Tallboy in that fourth slot in order to increase her effectiveness even further.

Teachers Union

Using the Chinese Light Cruiser Ning Hai, British Light Aircraft Carrier Argus, and American Light Aircraft Carrier Langley in the same fleet.

The three shipgirls are called "teachers" because their Skills increase the amount of EXP a ship in the same fleet gains after a battle.

Traitor

The nicknames for the American Aircraft Carrier Essex and the British Light Aircraft Carrier Chaser.

Due to their crimson-red eyes, snow-white hair, pale skin, and minimal clothing damage when moderately or severely damage in-combat, the two shipgirls are jokingly referred to as Abyssal Spies.

Tuna

The nickname for the American Submarine Albacore.

Since Albacore is named after the Albacore, a fish that is part of the Tuna family of fish, Albacore has given the nickname "Tuna."

Although Archerfish, another American Submarine, is not part of the same class as Albacore, or even part of the Tuna family, she is still sometimes also referred to as being a part of the "Tuna Sisters" due to having a very similar visual design to Albacore.
