Special Attacks/Colorado-class Touch

Colorado and Maryland are able to perform a special attack:

• A Colorado-class must be the flagship.
  • Secretary for combined fleets.
  • She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
• The 2nd and 3rd ships in the fleet must be FBB/BB/BBV.
  • They must not be heavily damaged (大破).

• There must be 6 or more surface ships in the fleet.
  • There must be no submarine in 6-ship fleets. In 7-ship fleets, only 1 submarine is allowed.
  • There must be no surface ship in the fleet sunk or evacuated via FCF
    during a sortie, making the remaining total < 6. Ships in the escort fleet are not counted.

• In single fleet, Echelon needs to be selected.
• In a combined fleet, Cruising Formation 2 needs to be selected.

If triggered:

• The flagship will do a 1st attack,
• The 2nd ship will do a 2nd attack,
• The 3rd ship will do a 3rd attack,
• Each attack targets a ship at random,
• If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.

"Big 7" refers here to Nagato Kai/Ni
, Mutsu Kai/Ni
, Nelson Kai, Rodney Kai^{[citation needed]}, Colorado/Kai
