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

==Map Overview==
E3 is a Combined fleet three-phase map consisting of three boss phases.
* 2 [[LBAS]] are available to sortie on this map.
** Unlike other maps, no LBAS air-raid will occur.

* This map uses 4 locks:
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 4.png|40px]] '''Task Force''' (from E-2),
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 5.png|40px]] '''6th Fleet''' (from E-2),
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 6.png|40px]] '''3rd Fleet Advance Force''',
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 7.png|40px]] '''Vanguard Fleet'''.

*'''[[Node|"Airstrike Supported Battle" nodes]]''' are present on {{MapRoute|E|darkorange|J|darkorange|L|darkorange|T|darkorange|X|darkorange}}
*Node {{MapRoute|Z|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.

<tabber>
|-|Node O=
Refer to [[#Phase 1: Boss 1]]'s fleet for composition and routing.
* STF/CTF [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 4.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A|blue|B|red|D|red|F|pink|O|red}}
** LBAS range: 7

|-|Node P & N=
Refer to [[#Phase 2: Boss 2]]'s fleet for composition and routing.
* Striking Force [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 6.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|2||H|red|I|red|M|blue|P|red}}
** LBAS range: 11
* Route: {{MapRoute|2||H|red|I|red|M|blue|N|red}}
** LBAS range: 12
</tabber>

*As the LBAS range is extremely high, the use of [[Land-Based Air Squadron#Combat_Radius|LBAS Range Extension]] with the {{LFB}} {{EquipmentLink|Type 2 Large Flying Boat|text=Taitei}} is required, else, the LBAS should be used on pre-boss nodes.

==Phase 1: Boss 1==
<tabber>
|-|Light Fleet=
* STF/CTF: '''2 (F)BB(V), 2 CVL, 1 CA(V), 1 CL + 0-1 CA(V), 1 CLT, 1 CL, 3-4 DD''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 4.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A|blue|B|red|D|red|F|pink|O|red|O3|red}}
** If '''Slow''', fleet must contain 4 DDs to avoid an extra Air Raid at {{MapRoute|C|pink}}

|-|Heavy Fleet=
* CTF: '''2 (F)BB(V), 2 CV(B), 1 CVL, 1 CL + 1 CVE, 1 CLT, 1 CL, 3 DD''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 4.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A|blue|B|red|C|pink|D|red|F|pink|O|red|O3|red}}
** This comp pass through 1 extra node, but this is little to no inconvenience, as it brings very high air power, helping to reach AS on every node.

</tabber>
* Los check: 75 (Cn3 hard)
* LBAS range: 8
*AP/AS:
** 225/504 (pre-LD Hard)
** 378/849 (LD Hard)

* It is recommended to bring a strong [[AACI]] to face the boss and on route air nodes.
* 1 or 2 ship should be on [[OASW]] to better pass the 1st node.
*The last preboss node, {{MapRoute|O|red}}, is a relatively tough node to pass through, and might require sending an [[LBAS]], or utilizing a node support expedition.
* Boss Support Expedition will help with the kill on Last Dance. 
*Utilizing a [[Special Attack]] is recommended. 
** E-4 Phase 1 also recommends [[Special Attack]]s, so plan accordingly.

==Phase 2: Boss 2==
<tabber>
|-|Green Tag=
* Striking Force: '''2 FBB, 1 CV(B/L), 1 CA(V)/CLT, 1 CL, 2 DD, Fast''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 6.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|2||H|red|I|red|M|blue|P|red|R|red|S|pink|U|red}}

|-|Grey Tag=
* Striking Force: '''1-2 FBB, 1 CV(B/L), 0-1 CA(V)/CLT, 1 CL, 3-4 DD, Fast''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 7.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|3||I|red|M|blue|P|red|R|red|S|pink|U|red}}

</tabber>
*LoS check: 70 (Cn3 Hard)
* LBAS range: 12
**As the LBAS range is extremely high, the use of [[Land-Based Air Squadron#Combat_Radius|LBAS Range Extension]] with the {{LFB}} {{EquipmentLink|Type 2 Large Flying Boat|text=Taitei}} is required, else, the LBAS should be used on pre-boss nodes.
AP/AS= 125/279 (Hard)
*Bringing [[AACI]] is recomanded.
*Having ASW can help pass through node {{MapRoute|I|red}}.
*Using the [[Special Attacks#Kongou-class_Touch|''Kongou''-class Special Attack]] is recommended if available.

==Phase 3: Boss 3==
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.
*The new [[Atoll Aircraft Carrier Anchorage Princess]] is not an "[[Installation]]".

* Striking Force: '''1 AS, 3-5 SS(V), 0-1 CA(V)/CL, 0-1 DD''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 5.png|40px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|4||V|blue|W|red|Y|red|Y2|red|Z|red}}
* LBAS range: 10
* AP/AS= 71/159 (Hard)
* There is no LoS check.
* The use of both boss and node support expedition is recommended to survive the pre-boss nodes and clear the boss escort fleet.
** If node support is being utilized, make sure to set the fleet for Line Ahead and not Vanguard for support to kill off the enemy on the node. 
* 2 LBAS should be send on pre-bosses, and 2 on the boss.
* The use of the {{Smoke}} [[Smoke]] is discouraged as it does not protect the subs.
* Using the {{IconText|{{CommandFacility}}|SFFCF}} {{Equipment/Link|Striking Force Fleet Command Facility|text=SFFCF}} can be solution to increase the pass rate, but will make killing the boss way harder.
* No ASW is needed in this phase.
* This fleet can utilize the "Submarine Touch", a {{Submarine Touch}}

*One [[PT boat]] is present in the boss comp:
{{Anti-PT Imp Setups}}

Using the Ka-Tsu tanks attacks is mandatory in higher difficulties:

{{:Ka-Tsu}}
When using it, it is better to have pairs of Ka-Tsu on the historical ships, and normal [[Night Cut-in]]s for the other ones.

==Phase 3.5: Debuff==
Once LD has been reached, the following steps have to be performed to debuff the boss

* Route: {{MapRoute|1||A|blue|B|red|C|pink|D|red|F|pink|O|red|O2|pink|O3|red}}
