3 Displays the warning "in detection range" when the undetected submarine is in the range of an activated Submarine SurveillanceDetect submarines underwater., Surveillance RadarWhile active, detects all enemy ships within the specified radius, disregarding obstacles such as smoke and terrain. or Hydroacoustic SearchWhile active, detects all enemy ships and torpedoes within the specified radius, without regard of obstacles such as smoke and terrain. consumable but is not detected because of its current depth.[5] The warning "in detection range" is displayed. Submarines are detected by Hydroacoustic Search at all depths but at maximum depth only within 2 km. Submarines are detected by Surveillance Radar only at the surface level. Submarines are detected by Submarine Surveillance at periscope and maximum depth.

Enlarged Propeller Shaft

4 Activated if less than 50% of the maximum dive capacity remains. When activated:
+18% speed at surface and periscope depth.
Does not work at maximum depth.


  1. Aircraft Carrier skills do not apply to hybrid ships such as Ise and Tone.
  2. 2.0 2.1 When activated, the continuous AA damage in the priority sector instantly gains 25% and rises to its default maximum plus 25%. Meanwhile, the weak side loses an additional 25%.
  3. Secondary target designation can be tricky at first. To make it more sure, with the Alternate Interface Mode set to Full (highly recommended on the Settings.Controls panel) <ctrl-left click> on the red damage bar just above the range number. A target icon will appear above the ship.
  4. 4.0 4.1 The standard main battery firing range or standard detectability range are those values shown in port. They are not changed by in-battle effects such as gun bloom, spotting aircraft, smoke, or weather.
  5. This means:
    • If the submarine gets the warning on the surface, it is in the range of an activated Submarine Surveillance.
    • If the submarine gets the warning at periscope depth, it is in the range of an activated Surveillance Radar.
    • If the submarine gets the warning at maximum depth, it is either in the range of an activated Surveillance Radar or Hydroacoustic Search (but more than 2 km away).
