<span style="color:red";>'''Warning:'''</span> Friendly ships will be sunk intentionally using this strategy.
* This is done by putting fodder destroyers that were intended for modernization/scrapping in the '''escort''' in order to tank all the torpedo attacks.
* This strategy is not meant for players who do not want to sink ships for whatever moral reasons.
===Option 1: Surface Task Force===
Composition: '''3(F)BB(V) 1CV(B) 2XX + 1CL 5DD fodders'''
* Route: {{MapRoute|2||J2|red|L|pink|M|red|O|red}}
* '''XX''' cannot be (F)BB(V) or CV(L/B).
* Damage output from the fleet is limited. Instead, the main source of damage comes boss support and LBAS.
* This option is purely intended for chipping, so it is very unlikely that a clear will occur on harder difficulties.
===Option 2: Carrier Task Force===
Composition: '''4CV(B) 2XX + 1CL 5DD fodders ~Fast~'''
* Route: {{MapRoute|2||J2|red|L|pink|M|red|O|red}}
* '''XX''' can be anything, but ships that can contribute to air power is recommended.
* Similarly to option 1, but with the huge difference that this is actually capable of killing the boss.
* The effectiveness of this strategy heavily depends on the amount of historical aircraft available.
** This also means that using carriers isn't feasible if the player lacks the historical aircraft.
* This is the recommended strategy in order to defeat the boss if the player has the required aircraft. Using a traditional fleet is simply not as effective on '''Hard'''.

===Option 1===
Composition: '''3CV(B) 1CVL 2XX + 1CL 3DD 2XX Fast'''
* Route: {{MapRoute|3||P|pink|R|red|S|pink|U|purple|V|blue|X|red|Z3|red}}
* XX can't be a (F)BB(V) or CV(L/B).
* A carrier fleet that fully makes use of the historical bonuses that are provided by foreign aircraft in order deal high amount of damage during daytime.
* The use of CTF allows for more air power, but they are also in a disadvantage when fighting the fleet at {{MapRoute|X|red}}
** This issue more relevant now that node {{MapRoute|X|red}} is not the final destination. Keep in mind that a STF does not suffer from this problem.
* This option is heavily reliant on foreign aircraft that provides the relevant bonuses. This option is thus not recommended if the player lacks the aircraft to outfit multiple carriers with the historical bonuses.
===Option 2===
Composition: '''3CV(B) 1CVL 2XX + 1CL 3DD 2FBB Fast'''
* Route: {{MapRoute|3||P|pink|R|red|S|pink|U|purple|V|blue|X|red|Y|pink|Z3|red}}
* Similar to option 1, but now better equipped to deal with node X at the cost of going through an extra air node.
* This option is heavily reliant on foreign aircraft that provides the relevant bonuses. This option is thus not recommended if the player lacks the aircraft to outfit multiple carriers with the historical bonuses.
