===Map Unlocking===
'''5-2''' is unlocked after clearing [[4-4]] HP bar and [[5-1]].

===Historical Routing===
{{/Historical_Ships}}

===Tips===
*You must sink the boss 4 times to clear the map.
*This map is based on the historical operation known as '''Operation MO'''. Ships that participated in this operation can be used here to obtain special routing on this map.
*Like [[5-1]], [[Standard Carrier Wo-Class]] Flagship also makes an appearance here, especially at pre-boss nodes.
**[[AACI]] is required to reach and kill the boss node consistently.
*The boss can be either a [[Standard Carrier Wo-Class|Wo Kai Flagship]] or an [[Aircraft Carrier Demon]].
**Sinking [[Aircraft Carrier Demon]] can be a bit harder than sinking Wo Kai Flagship, therefore, do prepare good equipment and girls for better success rate.

*As every World 5 map, [[Support Expedition]]s are available to help you clear the map, something often useful to clear harder quests.

===Recommended Fleets===
<tabber>
|-|Historical fleets=
*'''[[Shoukaku]], [[Zuikaku]], 2(F)BB/CA(V), 2DD''' (Fast)
*'''[[Yuubari]], 2CVL, 3CA(V)'''
*2CV(L/B), 2DD, 2CA(V) (Fast)
*Route = {{MapRoute|B|blue|C|pink|D|red|F|red|O|red}}
**LoS required: '''≥ 71''' (Cn2)
**Heavier fleets have a chance to off-route to Node {{MapRoute|I|pink}}, which will significantly deplete your planecount due to the nature of that node.

|-|Non-Historical fleets=
*2CV(B), 2FBB/CA(V), 2DD
*Route = {{MapRoute|B|blue|C|pink|E|red|F|red|O|red}}
**LoS required: '''≥ 71''' (Cn2)
**Will pass through Node {{MapRoute|E|red}} instead of {{MapRoute|D|red}} compared to historical fleets, which is way tougher.
</tabber>

===Resource Nodes===
{{MapRoute|G|green|J|green}} are "Normal Resource Nodes" rewarding respectively ammo {{Ammo}}, and bauxite {{Bauxite}}.
*''See [[Resource Node|here]] for more details.

====SS and Carrier Exp farming====
The 1st enemy node being an Air Node, it's possible to take advantage of how it works to level up any SS(V) as well as "carriers" '''risk-free'''.
*All SS(V) won't take any damage on Node {{MapRoute|C|pink}}, so any SS(V) fleet can level up risk-free on this node.
*If possessing one or more {{EquipmentLink|12cm 30-tube Rocket Launcher Kai Ni}}, it is possible to take advantage of the [[AARB]] mechanic to also level up CV(L), BBV, CAV, and AV.
**By equipping one RLK2 on carriers, passing a certain AA threshold, said carrier won't take any damage on the Air Node.
**Having more than 1 RLK2 on the same ship decreases the AA threshold, making it possible to level up weaker carriers.
*Once Node {{MapRoute|C|pink}} cleared , retreat to the base and repeat.
*There is a random chance to off route to Node {{MapRoute|A|violet}}, losing some resources, but this is negligible.
