=Battle Opening Breakdown=
Battle Opening is one of the ''daytime combat'' intermediary phases, taking place immediately before the First shelling starts. In this phase, allied and enemy fleets launch attacks with the intent to disable or remove enemy targets before the combat proper starts. This grants either fleet substantial advantages by possibly disabling key ships on the opposing side.

In case neither fleets meet the requirements, the sub-phase will be skipped.

<onlyinclude>=Opening ASW Shelling (OASW)=
Commonly referred to as ''OASW (opening ASW)''. All eligible ships will perform a regular ASW Shelling attack, following range order in the same fashion as the First Shelling Phase. As these opening attacks happen before the Opening Torpedo Salvo, they may disable or even sink enemy submarines before they have a chance to attack.
