8. Updates to the UI:
   • When forming a fleet in the submenu, the list of shipgirls will now display a summary of their damage state and sparkle state (where applicable).
   • The display has also been updated such that ships' levels in the list will be distinguishable by color. Different level ranges correspond to different colors.
   • The size of the fleet number (#1/2/3/4) displayed in the list of shipgirls has been reduced.
   • The fleet number will now also be displayed in the equipment menu when moving equipment from one ship to another.
   • Under the equipment menu, a total of 4 new categories has been added for equipment such as Radars and Transport Equipment. The 4 new categories are as follows:
     • Radars
     • Transport Equipment (Daihatsu, etc.)
     • Supply Equipment (Maritime Resupply Barrels, Battle Rations, etc.)
     • Large Aircraft (LBAS aircraft)

     • Other miscellaneous updates to the display / GUI.
     • Where the rewards for a quest are selectable (i.e. choose 1 out of 2 or 3 possible rewards), you can now confirm your selection using the button labeled 「選択確認」.
       • (Previously, clicking on an item would automatically select it as your chosen reward.)
9. Rainy Season CGs and other updates:
   • All previous Rainy Season CGs have been added back into the game.
   • Shiratsuyu, Fusou, Sazanami, and Kamoi have also received new CGs for this season.
   • New voice lines for Yamato have been added as well, related to what appears to be Hyuuga busily preparing for something.
10. Post-Patch Issues:
    • Shiratsuyu's new CG is displayed incorrectly.
    • The new item "New Model Gun Mount Improvement Material" 「新型砲熕兵装資材」 is listed incorrectly as 「新型砲墳兵装資材」 (radical for earth instead of fire).
    • Both of the above are currently being fixed.
