(I think I typed the reason for this edit in a previous edit but forgot to actually edit the section LOL. TL;DR the recommended ways here are inaccurate and insufficient and searchlight usage should be on a case-by-case basis instead of used in the same way every time.)

|A few ways to use it:
 
*Equip on ship in the '''flagship''' position.
 
**Pros: The flagship will always open fire first (unless already heavily damaged), therefore it does not matter if it further takes damage. Useful if it's the last battle of the sortie.
 
**Cons: The other ships can still cover for the flagship where applicable.
 
*Equip on ship in the '''second''' position.
 
**Pros: This setup does not suffer from the flagship cover aspect, and ship in the second slot still opens fire early.
 
**Cons: May give the opponent 2 turns in a row if their flagship disables the searchlight carrier.
 
*Equip on ship in the '''last''' position.
 
**Pros: Allows ships that can't be relied on for night battle output to be useful in some ways, as the output doesn't matter if it doesn't get to them.
 
**Cons: Likely to lose output in situations where every little bit counts (such as event maps).
