** Player fleet and enemy fleet always alternate taking turns shelling, even if one fleet has more ships of higher range than the other fleet.
*** For example: If every ship in player fleet is Long range and every ship in enemy fleet is Short range, they will still take turns "Player -> Enemy -> Player -> Enemy...".
** Player fleet always goes first, even if enemy fleet has a higher range ship.
** The order is determined at the beginning of shelling phase. If a ship is sunk or disabled before their turn comes up, it is skipped, and the other side may shell again.

*As [[Abyssal]]s also follow those conditions, SS/V can be used as "Submarine Tanks" (Sub-tanking) on some maps to deviate attacks from the fleet to the submarine.

** They do not prioritize submarines.

When attacking a fleet with the [[Submarine Touch]], the usual [[Targeting]] rules apply.
*The torpedoes fired target ships independently,
*When facing a [[Combined Fleet]], if any ship is present in the escort fleet on day battle, then all torpedoes will be fired to the escort fleet.
