This Phase is largely a repeat of Phase 1 (including Fleet compositions), the Transport Node is found at U and the Transport Boss at Node X. The Transport Boss in this Phase is largely consisting of PT-Imps, so taking means to deal with them is highly recommended. In comparison to Phase 1 there is an additional Airstrike in Form of Node P. The Surface Task Force may opt to use a Fleet Carrier (CV) instead of a CVL in this Phase.

==Phase 3: Unlock the Boss Node and Shortcut==
+
+
To unlock the Boss Node, you need to obtain Air Superiority on LBAS Raid defence twice (on Hard). Set up your LBAS accordingly and sortie your fleet until you trigger the Raid.
+
+
To unlock the Shortcut from T->Z you need to do the following:
+
+
* S-Rank Node Q:
+
** You are required to use a '''Transport Combined Fleet''' as outlined in Phase 1 for this step as a STF will no longer route there.
+
** Replace Transport Equipment for Combat Equipment
+
+
* S-Rank Node D
+
** Routes B-D. Use a '''Carrier Task Force''' and load up on ASW equipment
+
+
* S-Rank Node R
+
** Routes R. Use a '''Surface Task Force''' and load up on ASW equipment
