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

==Map Overview==
E-2 consists of 3 main phases and requires the use of Single Fleets, Striking Forces, and Combined Fleets.
* This map uses 2 locks:
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 2.png]] '''2nd Torpedo Squadron''' (reused in E-3) for the 1st starting point,
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 3.png]] '''Supporting Combined Fleet''' for the 2nd starting point.
* 2 [[LBAS]] are available on this map:
** Only 1 can be set on '''Sortie''', the other being limited to '''Defense'''. 
** After completing phase 2, the LBAS is relocated closer to the final boss.
** Be aware that [[Land-Based_Air_Squadron#High_Altitude_Air-Raid|High Altitude LBAS defense]] is required for the debuff. It is advised to check if the required AS values can be achieved with the planes available before starting the map on higher difficulties.
* '''[[Early Spring 2023 Event#New Mechanics|"Airstrike Supported Battle" nodes]]''' are present on {{MapRoute|B|darkorange|F2|darkorange|M|darkorange|P|darkorange}}
{{imbox|type=content|textstyle=color:red|text='''''This map is extremely hard to clear on all difficulties.<br>Please wait for information regarding compositions, historical bonuses, and friendly fleets across the event before starting it.'''''}}

</tabber>
* Several [[Night Cut-In]]s are required to clear the boss, especially on LD and in higher difficulties.
* Bringing an [[AACI]] capable ship is recommended to pass through the air node.
* Bringing an [[OASW]] capable ship is recommended to pass through the new node.
