Case I: Oh shit! I scrapped/mod-fod my ship!
Let's start with the basic. So you just got a new ship that you really really love. However, since you didn't know about "heart-locking" (don't worry, I'll tell you later), one day, you went and "Oh shit" your ship by scrapping her. Now, you just lost your lvl 69 Iku. The past is the past. You can't get them back. But you can prevent it from happening in the future.

What is a "heart-locking" you might ask. A "heart-locking" is a game mechanic that prevents your ship from showing up in the modernization list and locks your ship from scrapping unless you unlock her. How to do it?



Note: The "Flagship Unlocked" thing ONLY applies to your 1st fleet Flagship.

Case II: Oh shit! I scrapped/mod-fod my Equipment!
Same thing as above. Remember to always lock your new equipment unless you are doing an "Upgrade" quest (please refer to the Quest page and look at the Brown quests:



Akashi Arsenal's FAQS: When Akashi asked for you to sacrifice one of your equipment to upgrade another equipment. Please note that Akashi doesn't give a shit. She will just pick it if you don't equipment-lock it even if that equipment is +8.

If you hang around Kancolle Community for more than a day, chances are somone probably told you to "NEVER EVER KUSO/SINK SHIP!". There's a good reason for that. The cost of every Kuso is a waste of money, time, resources and ship. Play safe, don't Kuso.
