Ship Commanders can learn a number of useful skills. They're arranged in rows of increasing cost. At least one skill must be learned in each row prior. So, before learning a skill from the 4th row, the Commander must already have learned a skill in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rows. Learning multiple skills in the same row is also permitted, but it will greatly increase the time it takes to reach skills on the higher rows.

Many skills are only useful to certain classes. The game leaves it up to the player to tell the difference, since skills from a different class could potentially become useful if the Commander was transferred to a different ship. However, considering the amount of time it takes to train a highly skilled Commander, it's best to specialize them in a specific class anyway. One often requested feature is for skills that are not relevant to the current ship be displayed in a different shade or color.

While the commander is retraining to a new ship, skill effect is reduced to half amount and skill with binary effect is disabled.

List of Endurance Skills

Icon	Skill Name	Skill Point Cost	Description	Effect	Editor's Notes
	Priority Target	1	Notification of how many enemy ships are targeting this ship.	Situational Awareness indicator will show the number of opponents currently aiming at you with main battery guns.
	Preventative Maintenance	1	Reduces the risk of ship modules becoming incapacitated.	-50% to the risk of incapacitation of modules.
	High Alert	2	Reduces reload time of Damage Control Party.	-10% to reload time of the Damage Control Party consumable.
	Jack of All Trades	2	Reduces reload time of consumables.	-5% to reload time of all consumables.	Stacks with other consumable reload time modifiers such as the High Alert skill or November Foxtrot signal.
	Fire Prevention	3	Reduces the risk of fire and number of fires that a ship can suffer simultaneously.	-7% to the risk of fire. Ship can have a maximum of 3 fires burning at once.	For more information on how fire chance is calculated, visit the Fire page.
	Basics of Survivability	3	Accelerates repairs to modules, firefighting, and recovery from flooding.	-15% to time of repair, firefighting, and recovery from flooding.	Reduction applies only to passive repairs, firefighting, and flood control.
	Manual Fire Control for Secondary Armament	4	Secondary guns only open fire on targets designated by the player. The firing efficiency is significantly increased.	-15% to the maximum dispersion of shells for the secondary armament of Tier I-VI ships. -60% to the maximum dispersion of shells for the secondary armament of Tier VII-X ships.	This doesn't mean manual aim. It improves the accuracy of the secondary battery by decreasing their dispersion, but requires the player to manually select a target by holding down CTRL and left-clicking on it. With this skill, the secondaries will not fire at all without manual target selection.
	Survivability Expert	4	Increases a ship's HP.	+400 HP for each ship tier.	Example: a Tier V ship would gain 2000 additional hit points.

List of Attack Skills

Icon	Skill Name	Skill Point Cost	Description	Effect	Editor's Notes
	Expert Loader	1	Accelerates shell type switching if all main battery guns are loaded.	-50% to reload time when the shell type is switched.	Guns must be fully loaded for this to take effect.
	Aircraft Servicing Expert	1	Increases servicing speed and HP for carrier-based aircraft.	+5% to HP of carrier-based aircraft. -10% to servicing time of carrier-based aircraft.
	Expert Marksman	2	Increases traverse speed of the guns.	+2.5 deg/s to the traverse speed of guns with a caliber of up to 139 mm. +0.7 deg/s to the traverse speed of guns with a caliber above 139 mm.
	Torpedo Acceleration	2	Increases the speed of torpedoes launched from both ships and aircraft while reducing torpedo range.	+5 knots to torpedo speed. -20% to torpedo range.	Applies to all types of torpedoes (i.e. both ship-launched and air-dropped).
	Torpedo Armament Expertise	3	Reduces reload time of torpedo tubes and servicing time of torpedo bombers.	-10% to reloading time of torpedo tubes. -20% to servicing time of torpedo bombers.	Stacks with other torpedo and aircraft servicing reducers, such as Torpedo Tubes Modification 3, Flight Control Modification 1, or Aircraft Servicing Expert.
	Emergency Takeoff	3	Allows carriers to launch and recover aircraft while on fire.	+100% to aircraft servicing time while aircraft carrier is on fire.
	Inertia Fuse for HE Shells	4		+25% to the armor penetration capacity of HE shells. -6% to chance of fire on target caused by HE shells.
	Air Supremacy	4	Changes number of aircraft in squadrons.	+1 fighter per squadron. +1 bomber per squadron.	Increases the number of aircraft in each fighter and dive bomber squadron by 1. Does not affect torpedo bomber squadrons. The number of reserve aircraft is not increased.

List of Support Skills

Icon	Skill Name	Skill Point Cost	Description	Effect	Editor's Notes
	Direction Center for Catapult Aircraft	1		+1 catapult aircraft. -20% to the speed of catapult aircraft.
	Dogfighting Expert	1	Increases the attack power of fighters while in combat against higher-tier aircraft. The greater the difference between tiers, the greater the increase.	10% to combat performance of fighters for each tier of difference between them. +10% to fighters ammunition.	The skill calculates improvement based on aircraft tier, which may not correspondent to ship tier. Skill provides no benefit if enemy fighters are equal or lower tier.
	Smoke Screen Expert	2		+20% to the radius of smoke screens.
	Expert Rear Gunner	2	Increases efficiency of self-defense armament for aircraft with rear gunners.	+10% to average damage per second of self-defense armament for aircraft with rear gunners.	Applicable to dive bombers and torpedo bombers only.
	Basic Firing Training	3	Improves performance of main guns with a caliber up to and including 139mm and secondary guns.	-10% to reload time of main battery guns with a caliber up to and including 139mm and all secondary battery guns. +20% to average damage per second of AA defense.
	Superintendent	3	Increases capacity of consumables.	+1 additional charge to all consumables mounted on a ship.
	Advanced Firing Training	4	Extends firing range of main guns with a caliber up to and including 139mm and all secondary battery guns. Also increases range of all AA guns.	+20% to firing range of main battery guns with a caliber up to 139mm and all secondary battery guns. +20% to AA defense firing range.
	Manual Fire Control for AA Armament	4	Significantly improves the efficiency of large-caliber AA guns firing at priority targets designated by the player.	+100% to average damage per second of AA guns with a caliber exceeding 85mm against a designated target.	This doesn't mean manual aim. It improves the damage per second of AA guns larger than 85 mm, but requires the player to manually select a target by holding down CTRL and left-clicking on it. With this skill, AA larger than 85 mm will not fire at all without manual target selection. AA of 85 mm or less will operate normally, and without this accuracy bonus. In practice, this means the player controls the dual-purpose guns.

List of Versatility Skills
