However, when the ship's morale is low, her affection may not increase after a battle. In addition, affection will greatly decrease if the ship is sunk in combat. After marrying a ship, their affection gauge will increase from a maximum of 100 to 200.

Affection Stat Bonuses
The higher affection levels also provide bonuses to basic stats, which are: HP, Shelling, Armor, Torpedo, Torpedo Defense, Strike Damage, Anti-Air.

Morale
In addition to having an effect on the affection system, morale is also expended to provide various bonuses to base buildings. All ships start from full morale (150 points)

Checking Ship Morale
Ship morale can be checked inside each base facility, and summarized in the base overview.





Recovering Morale
There are three ways to recover morale. Morale will slowly recover automatically over time if the ship is not assigned to a facility. Assigning the ship to the dormitory will also recover its morale. Putting a ship in the baths will also recover its morale. Some ships have base skills that increase the recovery speed of the dormitory (e.g. Oakland, Saratoga, Zuikaku).
