And the 22nd DesDiv is finally complete.

There´s a shitton of destroyers left though...

AND THATS JUST OF ONE NATION. THE US NAVY HAS HUNDREDS OF THEM.

Fletcher-class alone already has 175... Granted Fletcher is an exception, as in that most DD class doesn't have that many ships.

I think they will only implement one or two of each foreign DD class. As there is no way to present them all. And the Japanese must be the main force of KC

If you can only pick two Fletchers, they would be, of course, Nicholas and O'Bannon. Built side by side, both Presidential Unit Citations, both in a dead heat for most decorated of WWII, and two of the three destroyers to escort Big Mo into Tokyo Bay, and both decommissioned together on the same day in 1970. If you were to pick one it would be Johnston.

What, no love for little ol' Willie D?

Though I would also expect USS Johnston to make it into Kancolle one way or another, just to see how the Center Force would react when they come face to face with what ultimately was the thin red line standing between them and total annihilation for the US Landing Force.

Aw yeah finally done with all that untranslated part

Would USS Stewart (DD-224) count as foreign or Japanese? She was refloated by the Japanese and turned into PB-102.

I imagined she'd be treated the same way as Ro-chan.

Naturalized foreigner.

Wickes/Clemson: 111 + 156 = 267

Wickes class: 111
Clemson class: 156
Benson class: 30
Gleaves class: 66
Fletcher class: 175
Allen M. Sumner class: 58
Gearing class: 98

These are all classes of destroyers used by the USN or their allies during WWII. The US did like to go big on the classes it thought were good.

Oh yes, the Clemson. Slip my mind.

Actually, there are several classes you guys are missing:

In order (only ships actually serving in WW2):

Sampson class - 6 ships
Caldwell class - 6 ships
Wickes class - 111 ships
Clemson class - 156 ships (Last of the flush-decks - note smaller classes come next.)
Farragut class - 8 ships
Porter class - 8 ships
Mahan class - 18 ships
Gridley class - 4 ships
Bagley class - 8 ships
Somers class - 5 ships
Benham class - 10 ships
Sims class - 12 ships
Benson class - 30 ships
Gleaves class - 66 ships
Fletcher class - 175 ships
Sumner class - 58 ships
Gearing class - 98 ships

And Germany has over 1 thousand U-boats : )). If KanColle try to intro all of WW2 warships, they will cost several decades with this rate.

Now that Uranami is coming to Kancolle, looks like the DesDiv19 is going to get an update soon.

Easy, make them all carbon copies of U, with minor procedurally-generated differences!

My vote would be for Edwards (DD-663) and Leary (DD-664). Both had distinguished wartime careers and took part in the slaughter of Nishimura's fleet at Surigao Strait (part of the division that struck the deathblow to Yamashiro), then joined the JMSDF postwar as JDS Ariake and Yugure, serving until the 1970s.
