==Ship Bonuses==
{{:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/E-6/Historical_Ships}}

==Map Overview==
E6 has a total of 4 main phases. 2 [[Transport Operation]]s & 2 Boss Killing phases. 
* This map uses three locks:
** {{Shiplock|{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 9}} '''Western Advance Fleet'''
** {{Shiplock|{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 10}} '''West. Mission Decisive Battle Fleet'''
** {{Shiplock|{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 6}} '''Op. Torch Dispatch Fleet'''. This is a reused lock from E4
* There are 3 [[LBAS]] available to use throughout the map.

<div align="center" style="margin:20px"><span style="border:2px red solid;padding:10px">'''Ship locks affect routing on ALL difficulty !'''</span></div>

==Phase 0.5==
* There's only 1 requirement to unlock the initial TP Phase
{|class="wikitable" 
!       !! C
|-
| Hard  || S x2 
|-
| Medium|| S x2
|-
| Easy  || A+ x2
|-
| Casual|| A+ x2?
|}
* '''Single Fleet:''' 0-1(F)BB(V), 0-1CVL, 0-1CA(V), 0-1AV, 1CL, 3-4DD [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 9.png|30px]]
* '''Route:''' {{MapRoute|A|blue|B|red|C|red}}
** '''LBAS Ranges:'''
*** {{MapRoute|C|red}}: Range = 6, AD/AP: 57/113 on '''Hard'''
*** {{MapRoute|B|red}}: Range = 9, Sub Node
** 1 ASW LBAS may be sent to {{MapRoute|B|red}} to help deal with the submarines, while the other LBAS may be sent to {{MapRoute|C|red}}
*** The third LBAS in this Phase may be kept on Defense or otherwise inactive with the interception setup leftover from E5 to save on resources.

==Phase 1: Casablanca Transport Operation==
This is a [[Transport Operation]]
* '''Strike Force:''' 1CL, 3-4DD, 0-2CVL, 0-1BBV, 0-1AV, 0-1CA(V) [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 9.png|30px]]
* '''Route:''' {{MapRoute|A|blue|B|red|C|red|D|blue|D2|red|F|green|G|red}}
** Boss node {{MapRoute|G|red}} contains multiple Supply Depots and Artillery Imps.
** '''LBAS Ranges:''' 
*** {{MapRoute|G|red}}: Range = 5, AD/AP: 81/162
*** {{MapRoute|B|red}}: Range = 9, Sub Node

;Notes:
* Equipping 3-5 ships with [[Anti-Installation]] setups is recommended.
** As all variants of [[Landing Craft]] drain the same amount of TP, both the Damage and Transport requirement can be reached without much compromise.
* 1 ASW LBAS may be sent to {{MapRoute|B|red}} to help deal with the submarines, while the other LBAS may be sent to the boss node {{MapRoute|G|red}}.
** It is possible to keep the third LBAS in this Phase on Defense or otherwise inactive with the interception setup leftover from E5 to save on resources.

==Phase 1.5: Unlock Path to {{MapRoute|S|red}}==
There's only 1 requirement needed to unlock the 2nd TP Phase:

| Hard  || Reach 
|-
| Medium|| Reach
|-

* For the fleet used refer to Phase 1 as it is the same fleet but equipped for surface warfare.
* '''Route:''' {{MapRoute|A|blue|B|red|C|red|D|blue|D1|red|D3|blue}}
** Proceeding from {{MapRoute|D1|red}} with Taiha is safe as {{MapRoute|D3|blue}} is a non-combat node.

==Phase 2: Second Transport Operation==
<tabber>
|-|STF=
* STF: '''2-3(F)BB(V), (0-2CVL or 0-1CV(B)), 1-2CL, 0-1 AV, 0-3XX, + 1CL, 3-5DD, 0-2XX'''  [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 10.png|30px]] 
** Lock is shared with the final phase so ships planned for the final boss can be used here
** Very reliable fleet at the cost of lower TP per run.

|-|TCF=
* TCF: '''1-2 XX 0-1 AV , 4-6DD + 1-2CL, 3-5DD, 0-2CA(V)''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 10.png|30px]] 
** Light fleet in exchange for higher TP per run 
** Aims for A ranks at the boss.
** Node & Boss [[Support Expedition]]s are highly recommended
</tabber>

<big>'''Important:''' Compositions that include 2 or more AV route to {{MapRoute|P|red}} instead and tag the fleet with [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 6.png|30px]]. The same applies for fleets with less than 3DD</big>
* It is recommended to check planned fleets composition on [https://tsunkit.net/nav/#/| KCNav] first.

* Route: {{MapRoute|H|blue|I|red|L|blue|N|pink|O|red|Q|green|S|red}}
* '''LBAS Ranges''':
** {{MapRoute|S|red}}: Range = 5, AD/AP: 75/149 on '''Hard'''
** {{MapRoute|O|red}}: Range = 3, no air presence
** {{MapRoute|I|red}}: Range = 8, Sub Node

==Phase 2.5: Unlock Path to {{MapRoute|W|red}}==
There's only 1 requirement needed to unlock the first HP Gauge

* Route: {{MapRoute|H|blue|I|red|J|red|N|pink|O|red|P|red}}
** Repair Ships: [[Akitsushima Kai]], [[Akashi Kai]],
** To route to {{MapRoute|J|red}} have either:
*** '''1 AO and 1 AV''' (except [[Akitsushima]])
*** '''[[Akitsushima]] and 1 AV'''
*** '''[[Akashi]] and 1 AV''' (except [[Akitsushima]])
*** '''2 AV''' but not 2 [[Akitsushima]] and no [[Akashi]] or AO in the fleet
** Max 1 of [[Yamato]] or [[Musashi]].
* '''LBAS Ranges''':
** {{MapRoute|P|red}}: Range = 2, no air presence
** {{MapRoute|O|red}}: Range = 3, no air presence
** {{MapRoute|J|red}}: Range = 7, Sub Node
** {{MapRoute|I|red}}: Range = 8, Sub Node

==Phase 3: Permanently Destroy the Supply Depot Princess==
* For the fleet used refer to Phase 2.5 as it is the same fleet [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 6.png|30px]].
* Route: {{MapRoute|H|blue|I|red|J|red|N|pink|O|red|P|red|V|blue|W|red}} 
** Node [[Support Expedition]] is recommended on higher difficulties to help pass through {{MapRoute|P|red}} and {{MapRoute|O|red}}
** [[Anti-Installation]] equipment is required to kill the enemy escorts
* '''LBAS Ranges''':
** {{MapRoute|W|red}}: Range = 3, AD/AP: 71/142 (99/197 on LD)
** {{MapRoute|P|red}}: Range = 2, no air presence
** {{MapRoute|O|red}}: Range = 3, no air presence
** {{MapRoute|J|red}}: Range = 7, Sub Node
** {{MapRoute|I|red}}: Range = 8, Sub Node

Both the {{EnemyLink|Supply Depot Princess C Vacation Mode}} (SDH-C-vac) boss and the {{EnemyLink|Anchorage Water Demon Vacation Mode}} are "Installation-like warships" (see ''[[Combat/Anti-Installation#Installation-like warships|here]]'').
*They mostly behave like regular warships combat-wise, being notably not torpedo-immune anymore
*They take additional damage from anti-installation equipment, see [[Installation|here]],
*Unlike their regular counterparts they do not take any "pre-cap" damage from anti-installation equipment
**Therefore they cannot be nuked the same way
**Using TCI including a {{LandingCraft}}[[Landing Craft]] '''/''' {{Amphibious Tank}}[[Tank]] is recommended to take them down effectively, see below:

===How to defeat the "Supply Depot Princess C Vacation Mode"===
The {{EnemyLink|Supply Depot Princess C Vacation Mode}} are classified as [[Combat/Anti-Installation#Installation-like warships|Installation-like warships]] and not regular [[Installation]]s
*She can now be hit by any regular surface-type attacks, such as torpedo-based ones.
*Using anti-installation equipment like Landing Craft will inflict additional post-cap damage.
*During the day battle phase it is difficult to damage her with Landing Crafts only.
*During the night battle phase using Landing Crafts on ships equipped with a TCI or a DA is very effective. 
**For these ships it is important to have high firepower {{Firepower}} and high torpedo-power {{Torpedo}} for better night attack effectiveness.

*Torpedo Cut-Ins {{TorpedoWeapon}}{{TorpedoWeapon}}{{LandingCraft}}/{{TorpedoWeapon}}{{TorpedoWeapon}}{{Amphibious Tank}} can deal 1000 to 1500 damage to her. 
*Double Attacks of a 4-slot ships can deal 1000 to 2000 damage to her.
**[[Mogami Kai Ni Toku]] with {{RedGunMedium}}{{LandingCraft}}{{LandingCraft}}{{Amphibious Tank}}+{{GreenGunDP}} can deal 3000 to 4000 damage to her with her DA.

'''See ''[[Combat/Anti-Installation#Installation-like warships|here]]'' for the equipment bonus table.'''

On Hard the first step is to reduce the HP of SDH-C-vac to near 4000 until the day-closing torpedo phase. After that she can be sunk by those special night attacks.

==Phase 4: Final Battle against the Incomplete Battleship Princess==
* STF: '''2-3(F)BB(V), (0-2CVL or 0-1CV(B)), 0-2XX, 1CL + 1CL, 3-4DD, 1-2XX''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 10.png|30px]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|H|blue|I|red|L|blue|M|red|X|pink|Y|red|Z|red}}
** Max 1 of [[Yamato]] or [[Musashi]],
*** If included, DD ≥ 4
** Both [[Support Expedition]]s are highly recommended to help reach the boss and secure the kill on Last Dance
** 1-2 OASW or 1 ASW LBAS can help pass through {{MapRoute|I|red}}
** Fightersweeping {{MapRoute|Y|red}} can help with the pass rate at that node 
* '''LBAS Ranges''':
** {{MapRoute|Z|red}}: Range = 4, AD/AP: 83/165 (164/328 on LD) on '''Hard'''
** {{MapRoute|Y|red}}: Range = 4, AD/AP: 172/343 (176/352 on LD) on '''Hard'''
** {{MapRoute|I|red}}: Range = 8, Sub Node

As an [[Combat/Anti-Installation#Installation-like warships|Installation-like warship]], the {{Enemy/Link|Dock Princess}} take additional damage from anti-installation equipment:

Ships equipped with Panzer DLC enjoy a large bonus on this node, applied to all enemies present.
* Therefore it is advisable to equip the intended main damage dealers of the fleet with those landing craft, either in TCI or as part of a special attack.
* Only Bonuses originating from different types daihatsu stack
