==Ship Bonuses==

{{:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/E-3/Historical_Ships}}

==Map Overview==
* This map uses two locks:
** [[File:Winter2022EventTag4.png]] "Combined Fleet" is used for Surface Task Force and Carrier Task Force.
** [[File:Winter2022EventTag3.png]] "Transport Unit" is used for Transport Combined Fleet once the transport phase is open.
*2 [[LBAS]]s are available to sortie, a third base is only able to be used in defense.
**Air raids will occur on this map.

==Phase 1: Defeat the Enemy Carrier Task Force at {{MapRoute|L|red}}==
* STF = '''2(F)BB(V), 1CV, 2CA(V), 1CL + 0-2CLT, 0-1CA(V), 1CL, 2-4DD [[File:Winter2022EventTag4.png]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1|grey|A|blue|D|red|F|blue|I|red|J|red|L|red}}
** LBAS: 137/274 AD/AP on Hard Mode (7 Range). It is recommended to send both bases to {{MapRoute|L|red}}.
** Strong AACI as well as some ASW is recommended to be taken on a support ship (Fletcher/Akizuki-Class).
** Offloading Fighter Power to SPF-Muling CAV to enable stronger daytime shelling by the (F)BB(V) as well as CV is recommended especially for last dance.

==Phase 2: Deplete the TP Gauge at {{MapRoute|S|red}}==
* TCF = '''1AV, 4DD, 1XX + 1CL, 1-2XX, 3-4DD [[File:Winter2022EventTag3.png]]
** Main fleet XX can be CL, CAV, or DD;  escort fleet XX can be CL, CA(V), or DD.
* Route: {{MapRoute|1|grey|A|blue|B|pink|C|red|M|red|P|green|S|red}}
** LoS (Cn1) = 20.0 (on '''Hard''')
** LBAS: 72/161 AP/AS on Hard Mode (6 Range). It is recommended to send both bases to {{MapRoute|S|red}}. One base with high accuracy Bombers could be sent to {{MapRoute|M|red}} (3 Range) to help increase the pass rate.
** One or two strong ASW ships are recommended for {{MapRoute|C|red}}.
** One AACI is recommended for {{MapRoute|B|red}}.
** Due to the boss node containing up to two Ne-Class Kai it is recommended to forgo trying to S-Rank the boss and load out the Escort Fleet for more reliable A-Ranks instead.

==Phase 2.5: Unlock the Final Boss at {{MapRoute|Z|red}}==
* There are up to 5 requirements to unlock Yokohama Wharf Princess at {{MapRoute|Z|red}} for Phase 3:

** Fleet will fight a carrier fleet.

==Phase 3: Defeat Yokohama Wharf Princess at {{MapRoute|Z|red}}==

<tabber>
|-|Carrier Task Force=
* '''2(F)BB, 3-4CV(L/B), 0-1CA(V), 0-1SS(V) + 1-2CLT, 0-1CA(V), 0-1FBB, 1CL, 2-3DD [[File:Winter2022EventTag4.png]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1|grey|A|blue|B|pink|C|red|R|red|V|blue|V2|red|Z|red}}
** LBAS: 133/266 AD/AP on Hard (Range 8). It is recommended to send both bases to the Boss.
** This fleet has very high firepower against the boss, but has several shortcomings:
*** Carrier Task Force Shelling order may lead to problems on-route with nodes {{MapRoute|R|red}} and {{MapRoute|V2|red}} as the escort engages first. Sending an LBAS Base to {{MapRoute|V2|red}} might help alleviate that problem.
*** Node {{MapRoute|R|red}} has a torpedo squadron fleet that will be forced on vanguard in last-dance.
*** High AA at the Boss and the Route may lead to deplaning of slots.
*** A submarine may be used to tank enemy fire on the route and at the boss. This is not recommended on Last Dance and if you want to use special attacks.
*** The same AACI/ASW DD as used in Phase 1 may be recycled here.

|-|Surface Task Force=
* '''2(F)BB, 2CVL, 2CA(V) + 1-2CLT, 0-1CA(V), 1CL, 2-3DD [[File:Winter2022EventTag4.png]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|1|grey|A|blue|B|pink|C|red|T|red|U|pink|X|red|Z|red}}
** LBAS: 133/266 AD/AP on Hard (Range 8). It is recommended to send both bases to the Boss.
** This fleet will have lower opening power than the Carrier Task Fleet due to decreased air presence.
</tabber>

==Debuff Phase==
*'''It is highly recommended to debuff the boss.
* There are up to 5 requirements needed to debuff the boss once she reaches Last Dance.
