==Historical Bonuses==
{{/Historical_Bonuses}}

==Map Overview==
E2 is a striking force/combined fleet two-phase map consisting of two boss phases. 
* 2 [[LBAS]] are available to sortie on this map

* This map uses 3 locks:
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 4.png|40px]] '''Task Force''' (combined fleet, reused in E-3),
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 2.png|40px]] '''2nd Fleet''' (striking force, from E-1),
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 5.png|40px]] '''6th Fleet''' (striking force, reused in E-3).

*Node {{MapRoute|Y|Red}} is an "atoll node", where the new {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}}' opening can be deployed.

==Phase 0.5: Gimmick==
The following steps have to be performed to unlock the next phase.
* The [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 2.png|40px]] tag is used in this phase.

* Striking Force: '''0-2 CVL, 0-2 CA/AV, 1 CL, 3-5 DD, Fast''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 2.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A|red|B|blue|C|pink|D|red|D2|red}}
* This composition can clear both node requirements in 1 sortie. 
* LBAS range: 
** {{MapRoute|D2|red}} range is 7,
** {{MapRoute|C|pink}} range is 4. 
* There is an LoS check to reach node D2, being:
** 14 (Cn1 ?), 40 (Cn2 ?), 65 (Cn3 ?), 90 (Cn4 ?) Hard

* Striking Force: '''0-1 CVL, 0-2 CA/AV, 1 CL, 3-5 DD, Fast''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 2.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A|red|B|blue|E|pink|G|red|H|red|I|red}}
* LBAS range: 6
* AD/AP = 80/159 on '''HARD'''

|-|Node J=
* Striking Force: '''2 CVL, 0-2 CA/AV, 1 CL, 3-4 DD''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 2.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A|red|B|blue|E|pink|G|red|H|red|J|red}}
* The fleet must contain '''2 CVL minimum''' to route to {{MapRoute|J|red}},
** Otherwise, must use a '''slow''' fleet to route. 
* LBAS range: 7
* AD/AP = 80/159 on '''HARD'''
</tabber>

* It is recommended to send LBAS to the respective nodes to secure the S rank.

==Phase 1: Sink the Aircraft Carrier Princess==
<tabber>
|-|STF=
* STF: '''2(F)BB(V), 2 CVL, 0-1 CA(V), 1-2 CL + 1 CL, 0-1 CA(V), 0-1 CLT, 3-5 DD [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 4.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|2||L|blue|D|red|N|red|P|pink|R|red}}

|-|CTF=
* CTF: '''2(F)BB(V), 2 CV(B), 0-1 CA(V), 1-2 CL + 1 CL, 0-1 CA(V), 0-1 CLT, 3-5 DD FAST'''[[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 4.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|2||L|blue|M|red|J|red|P|pink|R|red}}
* To take the shortest route, the fleet must be '''FAST''' and contain 5 DD for {{MapRoute|J|red}} -> {{MapRoute|P|pink}}.
** '''SLOW''' fleet will route to {{MapRoute|N|red}} instead.
* Otherwise, the fleet will take the longer route through {{MapRoute|J|red}}, {{MapRoute|N|red}}, {{MapRoute|O|red}}, and {{MapRoute|P|pink}}.

</tabber>

* LBAS range to {{MapRoute|R|red}} is 9
** AD/AP = 138/275 on '''HARD'''
* Sending a boss support expedition is highly recommended to secure the kill, especially on LD.

==Phase 2: Boss 2==
The boss node is an "atoll node", meaning that it is possible to deploy the new {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}}' opening.
* Striking Force: '''1 AS, 3-6 SS(V), 0-1 CL, 0-1 DD''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 5.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|3||S|blue|T|pink|U|pink|V|red|X|red|Y|red}}
* A minimum of 3 SS(V)? is required to route to the boss
* LBAS Range: 10
** AD/AP = 70/140 on LD for '''Hard'''
* Sending both node and boss support expeditions is recommended to help the submarines survive the pre-bosses nodes and kill the boss. 
* If opted for the CL or DD within the fleet, one of them should be able to perform [[AACI]] to pass through {{MapRoute|T|pink}} and {{MapRoute|U|pink}}

* This fleet can utilize the "Submarine Touch", a {{Submarine Touch}}

{{:Ka-Tsu}}

==Phase 2.5: Debuff==
Once LD has been reached, the following steps have to be performed to debuff the boss
*The debuff is optional in most cases.
