Once the condition is met, a ding sound will be heard once you have returned to port.

'''Step 2b:''' '''A Rank Node V Twice'''
'''Step 2b:''' '''A Rank Node V Twice (Hard)/ Once (Normal)'''
In this phase you will need use a Carrier Task Force make your way up to the northern part of the map to reach node V and face off against the [[Carrier Princess Kai]]. The following composition is the most recommended comp to use to reach node V efficently.

'''Step 3: Battle the Anti-Air Cruiser Princess'''
'''Step 3: Battle the Anti-Air Cruiser Princess'''
In this phase of the operation, you will be taking your fleet to engage the [[Anti-Air Cruiser Princess]], the battle against her will vary significantly upon difficulty but the trip to reach her will be notiably difficult regardless of what difficulty you pick as Node S presents a big threat to your fleet in general. Below we will look at the most recommended comp which will likely allow you to survive the map.
<tabber>
|-| Surface Task Force with Akashi/Akitsushima =
'''Recommended Fleet'''
* 3(F)BB(V), 2 CAV, [[Akashi|Akashi Kai]] or [[Akitsushima|Akitsushima Kai]]] + 1 CL, 3 DD, 2 DD/CLT/CA (3-4 Surface Radars depending on who you bring, see notes below)
'''Path'''
* '''A-B-D-I-K-X-S-W'''
* This method is the most preffered method of tackling this phase.
* If you bring Akashi, you will need 4 Surface Radars
* If you bring Akitsushima, you will need 3 Surface Radars
* Depending on your fleet and LBAS situation, you may need to bring 1-3 OASW.
* Your fleet will have to go through 1 Sub Node, 2 Surface Battles, 1 Night battle, before reaching the boss node.
* You need to bring at least one Seaplane fighter / Zuiun to get AS at the boss node.
* In the Night Battle node, your escort fleet will be having thier turn to attack. It's recommended to use Vanguard formation to attempt to bypass this node with little damage.
* Alternatively, if you're bringing an inroute support fleet, you can also opt for Line ahead, but it can be possibly risky.
* Node S will present an very difficult challenge as there will be Ne-class Kai present on the node which will present a theat to your fleet. Note that they are present even on the lowest difficult. The only main difference between them is if you get the 144 Armored version of 255 armored version depending on difficulty.
* Boss node itself can be relatively easy to handle on Casual to Medium, but for those prepare to do hard mode, expect this to be the most difficult and lengthy health bar drainings you'll have to do given the enemy fleets present on this node.
|-|Surface Task Force without Akashi or Akitsushima =
'''Recommended Fleet'''
* '''STF: 2 (F)BB , 3 CA(V), AV or XX + CL / 2 DD / 3 XX''' (AO Possible) (3 Surface Radars Needed) (Fast Fleet)
'''Path'''
* '''A-B-D-I-K-N-S-W'''
* '''WARNING: This composition is highly dangerous to consider on higher difficulties if you lack in either Akashi Kai or Akitsushima Kai! As you will be losing out on much needed fuel and ammo needed to effectively damage the boss. If possible, return to E-1 to look for Akitsushima or Akashi and remodel them. This should only be used as a last resort.)

The LBAS will will also need to be properly assigned to tackle the boss node so below the following set up is recomended.
<tabber>
|-| Node B =
'''LBAS 3'''
* 2-4 ASW Bombers
* This LBAS will be designated mainly for clearing your way through the subs in either node B or F.
* If using STF, set LBAS to B
* If using TCF, set LBAS to F
* If you lack in Toukai, you can consider developing [[Type 97 Torpedo Bomber]]s into [[Type 97 Torpedo Bomber (931 Air Group)]]s to fulfill your ASW needs.
* It is recommended to have at least 2 ASW bombers to make your run more successful, but you may need more ASW ships in your fleet to improve your survival chances depending on this node.
|-|Node W =
'''LBAS 1-3'''
* 4 Land Base Bombers / Torpedo Bomber (Distance of 7 required)
* This LBAS will be designated mainly for taking out most of the enemies at the boss node of W.
* It's recommended to have 2 of the LBAS sent here, while the 3rd one is on ASW in B. But if you lack in ASW planes, you can opt for Node P.
* '''Be Warned: The [[Anti-Air Cruiser Princess]] has the potential to de-rank your planes due to her AACI and high AA.'''
* If your playing on Hard Mode, you main objective with this LBAS will be to deliver as much damage to the main fleet along with taking out as many of the escorts ships as you can.

On most difficulties, getting to the boss will present the greater challenge due to Node S's [[Heavy Cruiser Ne-Class]] Kais that can potentially knock your fleet out, but if you remember to bring historical ships (Mainly [[Hiei]] and[[Kirishima]], you can also sink them relatively easily. But if you successfully pass them, you should be able to reach the boss without issue.
The Anti-Air Cruiser Princess will generally by tough on most difficulties, however on Hard mode, she starts off with 2 Battle Ship Water Demon Kais, 2 Ne-class Heavy Cruiser Kai (255 Armor version), and flagship tier Tsu-class, He-class Kai and various Na-class DDs.
Tackling this boss will require you to focus extensively on not sinking the boss, but trying to do as much damage as possible to it. Given that you will be up against 4 additional enemies that are all heavily armored, this may make things very difficut to overcome. Using a combination of historical ships along with with [[Nelson]], [[Hiei]] amd [[Kirishima]] can result in very leathal combination that can sometimes heavily damage, if not possibly sink some of the tougher enemies at times. Making it easier for your night battle fleet to take a shot at the princess.
The rest will boil down to how well you do in day battle along with wether or not your ships in the escort fleet aimr directly for the [[Anti-Air Cruiser Princess]] as you are likely to still have surviving ships present no matter what.
Historical ships like [[Yuudachi]], [[Ayanami]], [[Shigure]], [[Yukikaze]] and [[Fletcher]] are all especially vital for helping possibly score some serious damage if not possibly killing her during this phase. There is no way to know exactly who they will aim for, you can only '''hope''' that they target the boss at this point.
While the phase will be long on hard, other difficulties should be straight forward as long as you bring historicals much like on this difficulty. Once you get her to the final kill, carefully plan out if you want to do the debuff process to finish off the Princess as her armor will drasticlly increase. On Casual to Normal, it may be possible to consider by passing this debuff phase if you have enough historicals. However on hard, you may need the debuff just to successfully finish the boss off efficently. So if needed please see '''Step 4'''. Otherwise please move on to '''step 5'''.
