**You pretty much want to count on cut-in attacks (at boss), so only use remodeled subs if you're using this composition. Note that you need recon planes for this map, and as SS(V) only have 2 slots, you may want to just give both planes to the same girl. You will want as many submarines that are actually combat capable for this route, meaning that you really need I-401 and/or U-511 (Ro-500).

***For those who obtained both during the Spring 2017 event, the kai versions of I-13 & I-14 have 3 equipment slots. You can equip a recon plane in their first slot, leaving 2 slots available for torpedo equipment (and torpedo cut-ins).

*'''Taigei + 2 DD + 3 SS(V), Taigei + 1 CL + 4 SS(V)''' routes '''AFGHK'''

**The shortest route in terms of number of battles. Taigei can also equip recon planes to free up slots for your SS(V)s.

**The trade off is that any enemy ship still in lightly damage or better shape at the end of shelling phase will have fewer targets to launch their torpedoes at. Taigei (and escorts if any) also has to tank all the preboss ships that can't perform ASW i.e. the Wa-class Transport Elite, and far more dangerously, the Flag and/or Elite Ri-Class CA

**She'll also be targeted by closing torpedoes, which now have much fewer targets than normal. However, most of the formation pre-boss is echelon or diamond so the chance of getting hit by torpedoes is small.

*<u>Pattern 1 on node I has a chance to drop I-401 with S Victory</u>. If you want to farm her there, '''1 BB 3 CLT 1 CL 1 CV or 1 CL 3 CLT 2 CV both guarantee CFGI''' and are good enough to get S Rank.
