After account setup, the player will be asked to choose a starter ship. There are 3 destroyers to choose from: The Sakura Empire (Japan) Ayanami, The Eagle Union (American) USS Laffey, and the (British) Royal Navy HMS Javelin. As your Starter, picking Ayanami is the best, since she has the biggest damage output out of the three. However, as your progress through the game, you’ll obtain the other 2.
