List ain't that hard but this game isn't the usual Rock beats scissor thing. Sometimes, you'll see a destroyer destroying a battleship instead of the other way around. I can give you their speciality instead.

DD: 2nd Cheapest, High Evasion, Can attack subs (equip ASW recommended), Branching and Escorts, strong in night battle. Fragile.

CL: The heavier hitter of the small ship group (e.g. DD), a bit lower evasion, Can attack subs (as above), Branching and Escorts, strong in night battle. A bit tougher than the DD.

CLT: The glass cannon, opening torpedo are mad strong against many if hit, became a beast during night battle. VERY FRAGILE.

CA: The jack of all trades, but master of none. Also strong in night battle.

CAV: Can launch planes too! Plane can assist in air fighter power.

BB: The master of heavy hitter, strong against pretty much any ship if they hit (if high armor, use armor penetration shells). Can activate 2nd shelling phase. Decent in night battle.

BBV: Can launch planes too! Plane can assist in air fighter power.

CV: Sky girls; your air fighter power, air superiority/supremecy depends on these girls. Strong opening strike if equip correctly. Worthless after being moderate damage (except Taihou). Worthless during night battle (cannot attack).

CVL: Cheaper version of above but can still perform well.

SS: Cheapest of all, can do opening torpedo attack, ALL DD, CL, CVL and CAV/BBV with bomber planes equipped are forced to attack them (even land-base sometimes). See the thread for E-5 or the leveling tutorial section for example of using sub.
