For this operation, you will be organizing a various combined fleet to conduct transport operations across the Iwojima and Chichishima Islands. You will need to plan your fleet according to handle the various fleet you will encounter until you face powerful boss fleets. Once that is done, you will ultimately going into an intense battle to face off against the [[Destroyer Forest Princess]] who will have very powerful fleets to uncounter both along the way and at the boss node itself. You will need to carefully plan how you will tackle these phases.

'''Introduction'''

'''Introduction'''

In this operation there will be lots of tasks you'll be needing to complete as you will need to work through a series of transport operation, unlocking paths and reaching other locations to do simlar things until you face off against the boss. Overall you will be challenged in both endurance and determinig which ships you can safely bring into various operations. So please ready all the above and carefully plan as before the EO's release there can be potential consequences especially from this map which shows to be one of the more difficult maps that may make you spend you historical in order to complete it.

Once again, the land base air raid has a high alttitude bomber mechanic implemented meaning that if you have some rocket interceptors, proceed to use up to 2. As the 110% modifier will allow it to clear out and minimize that damage you'd otherwise take from it. in the best case senario you'll only suffer small plane loss or no damage at all if done correctly. If you lack rocket interceptors, use whatever interceptor you have avalaible.

The [[Heavy Cruiser Summer Princess]] is a more difficult fleet to take down compared to the previous, but like before, a concentated Land Base attack on her node along with a carrier or carriers) with 931 Air Group planes is the most effective way to clear out most if not all the enemy fleets. The process is mostly identical to the last transport phase. Once you are able to successfully depete the TP gauge, the final boss gauge will appear and you can proceed to the unlocking segment.

[[Destroyer Forest Princess]] is a rather strong boss that comes with strong attacks a notably high AA and has the potential along with the rest of her crew to knock out land base bombers easily. Because of this, she can pose quite a threat to the performance of your land base bombers and carriers strength over time. You will need to prepeare accordingly as you progress through the fight. The main goal should be to knock out as many of the escorts as you can over the fight and leave the shelling phase to your carriers in hopes that you can severly damage or one shot all the major enemies out of the way to make killing the princess easier. In fact, it is possible to take down said princess with your carriers if you are fortunate enough. But otherwise a historical TCI ship can lay waste to her quickly making it easier to win. Be aware through that as of current the TCI ship roster is still under evaluation since most ships related to ship may be related to EO to persue at your own risk.
