===Tips===
This map is simple as long as you remember that all maps in World 2 have routing restrictions on the maximum number of CV(L)s. With a limited number of these, your path to the boss is guaranteed.


===Recommended Fleets===
<tabber>
|-|Light fleet=
*'''1CL, 1AV, 4DD''' (fast)
*Route: {{MapRoute|C|red|E|green|H|red}}
**This is the shortest route possible to clear this map with only 2 battles.
**The comp is very light and does not have any carrier air strike power. It can be helpful to use ships such as [[Nisshin]] and [[Yura]], as they can launch opening torpedoes as well as carry seaplane fighters.
**Replacing the AV with another DD is also possible, though this comes at the cost of airpower and runs the risk of encountering an extra battle by routing {{MapRoute|C|red|D|red|H|red}} instead. It is still a viable alternative though, especially if using strong destroyers.
|-|Heavy fleet=
*1(F)BB, 1CV, 1AV, 1CL, 2DD
*Route {{MapRoute|C|red|E|green|D|red|H|red}}
**Good for ensuring you can get an Instant Construction {{IC}} while playing through and reach the boss node each run.
</tabber>

===Steel and Transport Farming===
*'''3CV/CVL, 3XX''' routes {{MapRoute|C|red|B|green|A|red}}
**Good for killing 2 Transports per run and gathering a small amount of steel.
***But [[2-2]] is probably better for farming transports, as it does not include an enemy CVL and is therefore less likely to damage your fleet during the opening air combat phase.
**Bringing additional {{EquipmentLink|Drum Canister (Transport Use)|text=Drums}}, {{EquipmentLink|Daihatsu Landing Craft|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft|text=Landing Crafts}}, and {{EquipmentLink|Special Type 2 Amphibious Tank|text=Tanks}} will help you farm additional steel.
