E-1 is a 3.5 Phase Map with the 31st Squadron Lock Tag (Green) consisting of three HP Phases and a minimal Unlock. One base of Land Based Aerial Support (LBAS) is available to sortie on this Map. Due to the span of different combat types on this map (Surface, ASW, Anti-Installation) it is recommended to take ships that are good at multiple of these categories to avoid locking too many ships to this map.
* Additional Notes: There is no surface combat on route, only ASW and Anti-Air Combat
