[[Submarine Princess Kai]] will come accompanied by 2 other So-class subs and 3 surface ships consisting of a CL and 2 DDs. While the core focus is to take out the Submarine princess, effectively farming this map will require you to take advantage of taking her out quickly and early on. One of the most effective ways in doing this is to bring historical OASW ships to the boss as the bonus provided from them should be strong enough to effectively take out the Submarine Princess quickly. ASW support fleet to the boss can also help chip her down, so you can finish her off sooner. While it may be smart to have LBAS be all ASW focused, you can opt to split some of them to Land Base Bombers to try to wipe out some of the surface ships as well, to give your fleet an higher chance to S rank or kill the princess.

If for some reason you lack ASW bombers or Toukai, you may likely have to play on a lower difficulty of Medium or less.  On these difficulties, you will need less effort to succeed or you can opt to bring a full historical ASW team or wait until friend fleet arrives.

If you are unable to properly kill all ships at the boss, and usually have surface ships remaining, consider waiting until friend fleet arrives.

*The best route requires that all ships are '''fast''' so if you want to bring strong heavy hitters like [[Nagato]], [[Mutsu]], or [[Fusou]] in the fleet, you will need to speed mod them [[Improving Ship Speed]] and equip them with [[Reinfocement Expansions]].

Overall, your fleet will have to survive a gauntlet consisting of 2 [[New Submarine Princess]] fleets, along with some strong air battles, so bring someo good AACI ship like [[Hamakaze]] who be a viable option, while also using dealing with the nasty carrier battle near the boss node. While the pre-boss node consists of only 2 CVLs, they are armed with a relatively dangerous plane setup, so it is recommended to take out as soon as possible to allow for a better passing rate. Keep in mind, that if you remove any DDs along the trip, you will be forced into possible 3rd air battle which will have the worst air power to try to defend yourself against.

Because of the dangers you will face along the way, it's highly recommended to just use node support to survive the major battles. On lower difficulties, it might be possible to survive without it, but in most cases, you may want to prepare just in case.

The Battle with the Carrier Princess Kai is a very hard fight, as she will consists of a large group of carriers along with some CAs and BBs in the Main Fleet, and some CLs and DDs in the escort fleet.
