*The Carrier Task Force is advised due to the heavy carrier limitations on the Surface Task Force; supplementing your 2CVL or CV with BBV in the latter is manageable, however.

*The Carrier Task Force mitigates damage and tends to send you to Node D; in this case, branching to H is recommended as the southern route contains an extra node and [[Battleship Princess]].

**Ise class is not recommended for boosting air power due to their low firepower; those with few [[Reppuu]] and no Kai Ni Yamashiro or Fusou should strongly consider the Carrier Task Force.

*The Surface Task Force sends you to node F, giving you a choice between the [[Anchorage Water Demon]] (Middle) route with a chance to drop [[Roma]], or the northern route which is the best choice, containing a night battle node against a [[Battleship Princess]].

**The Surface Task Force is necessary for your final run on hard due to double [[Battleship Water Demon|Battleship Water Demons]] as it helps defend your escort fleet for night battle and swaps out a few carriers for battleships.
