After choosing to Sortie you'll be asked to choose a map, where you may fight multiple battles. Ship girls who enter a battle undamaged or lightly damaged may take major damage, but shouldn't sink. '''If you enter a battle with a ship at moderate damage or greater, they are at risk of sinking and being lost forever!'''

After choosing to Sortie you'll be asked to choose a map, which your fleet will explore at random. Depending on the map they may fight multiple battles (or none.) Ship girls who enter a battle undamaged or lightly damaged may take major damage, but shouldn't sink.

If you do not wipe out the enemy fleet during the day, after the first stage of the battle you will have the option to make a '''night attack''' with the buttom on the right. The critical chance of both your own ships and those of the enemy is greatly increased during a night attack. If you have taken heavy damage, you may instead wish to '''withdraw''' with the button on the right.

After the battle, you will receive a '''rank''' dependent on how badly you damaged the enemy fleet (the highest rank requires you to have destroyed all enemied completely while no damage.) You may find a new ship girl at this time. The maximum rarity of the ship girl you find seems to be dependent on your rank, so when looking for new ships, try to fight battles you can win easily.
