The Combined Fleet system was first introduced in the [[Summer 2014 Event|Summer Event of 2014]] specially for the Battle of Midway. It is made using two fleets such that during a sortie, a total of up to 12 ships are involved as opposed to the usual 6. The Combined Fleet system has again been used in the [[Fall 2014 Event|Autumn Event of 2014]], and the [[Winter 2015 Event|Winter Event of 2015]] but with revised mechanics. This page will keep up to date with the most relevant mechanics.

Combined Fleet (連合艦隊 ''rengou kantai'') (when available, ''i.e.'' events only as of now) can be formed by viewing the second fleet, and then dragging the "/2" icon over the "/1" icon (refer to picture on the right). The 1st fleet is the main fleet and, in general, comprises the heavy ships, while the second fleet is a lighter "escort" fleet, and comprises the lighter ships.

Each type of combined fleet has different composition requirements. In ''<u>some cases</u>'', you will be given the option to choose between which combined fleet you want to make. In other cases, you will be told which fleet to create for sortieing. When choosing between the two different types of combined fleets, besides fleet composition requirements, also do note that the combat order is different for each type, so do bear that in mind as well (see [[Combined Fleet#Combat_Phases|Combat Phases]]).

This is where there is a difference between the two types of combined fleets. The difference between the two is that for the ''Carrier Task Force, ''the <u>escort fleet</u> engages first, while for the ''Surface Task Force'', the <u>main fleet</u> engages first. Each phase in itself is similar to normal non-Combined Fleet combat. For a full run through on what each phase does, please see [[Combat#Combat Stages|Combat:Combat Stages]].

The [[Fleet Command Facility]] (stock equipment of [[Ooyodo|Ooyodo Kai]]) allows a destroyer in the second fleet of a combined fleet to escort a heavily damaged ship in the first fleet away from the sortie. This may find good use if you tend to encounter just one ship going red on the pre-boss node most of the time.
