View source for Elite Torpedo Squadron Command Facility

{{EquipmentInfoKai}}

==Introduction==
洋上最前線において水雷戦隊を指揮する戦隊司令部です。<br>司令部施設を開設できる艦に設営可能です。<br>戦闘能力が高まると共に、同司令部を旗艦に設営した水雷戦隊は、水雷戦隊編成で行動している際に、戦闘で大きな損害を受けた僚艦を単艦で戦場から離脱させる水雷戦隊「単艦退避」も実施可能です。

''A command facility used for directing torpedo squadrons on the front lines.<br>It can be set up on any ship capable of equipping command facilities.<br>In addition to the increase in combat ability, you can use the "Single-Ship Evacuation" ability on heavily damaged escort ships when this is equipped on the flagship of a torpedo squadron.

==Mechanics==
<onlyinclude>The [[Elite Torpedo Squadron Command Facility]] (ETSCF or just TCF sometimes), is used to [[Evacuation|evacuate]] {{color|red|'''Heavily Damaged (大破)'''}} ships mid-sortie instead of retreating.
*It works for some '''"light"''' Single Fleets and [[Striking Force Fleet]]s.
*This can help increase your pass rate to the boss node.

;Requirements for using ETSCF are
* {{IconText|{{CommandFacility}}|ETSCF}} equipped on the flagship,
* At least one ship is heavily damaged,
** Cannot be the flagship.
* The fleet is either a Single Fleet or a [[Striking Force Fleet]], composed of either:
** '''CL''' flagship, 1-6 '''DD''', 0-3 '''CLT''', ''no other ship types''
** '''DD''' flagship, 0-6 '''DD''', 0-3 '''CLT''', ''no '''CL''' '', ''no other ship types''
If a ship can be evacuated, after the battle a prompt will ask to choose to evacuate "退避" or not evacuate "退避せず" the damaged ship from the fleet for the remainder of the sortie.
*The damaged ship to evacuate will be shown.
*It is not possible to choose which ship to evacuate when multiple ships are damaged.
*The selection is based on '''fleet order''', the ships higher in the order coming first.

;Notes
* '''Only one''' ship can be evacuated per battle. 
** If more than one ship are heavily damaged, retreat should be considered instead.
* Evacuated ships will:
** '''Lose all of their [[morale]], all their remaining fuel and ammo'''.
** Not count towards ships lost for determining victory conditions.
** Count towards routing requirements.
*** It is possible to fail routing requirements like LoS checks.
* The damage the ship suffered '''may become worse during the evacuation''', but '''she will never sink'''.
The ETSCF can be put in the [[Reinforcement Expansion|RE]] of most IJN CL(T) as well as some IJN DD, making it an attractive asset when using lighter fleets, such as on [[3-5]].</onlyinclude>
