List of Commander Skills

Battleship skills  •  Cruiser skills  •  Destroyer skills  •  Aircraft Carrier skills   •  Submarine skills

While a commander is re-training (specializing to a new tech-tree ship), his skills will not function on that ship. They will function on premium and special ships.
Further, while he earns Commander XP, he does not earn 5% Elite Commander XP.

Base Skills

	Situational Awareness	Free.	An alert to the commander that the ship has been spotted by the enemy.	An indicator is displayed when your ship is detected by an enemy ship or aircraft.	Functions during commander re-training and on ships without a commander.
