Winter 2022 Event also known under the title of Annoucement! Operation Sho-Go 3 Alert!, is a "medium-scale event" that is set to be launched in Feburary 22, 2022
The exact scale of this event is 3 Main Operations and an unknown amount of Extra Operations.
The main operation area will take as a defense operation starting from Nansei Island Area, then taking place along the transport route in Aparri, then finally finishing in Kyushuu, Japan.
The exact contents of the Extra Operations are unknown.
For additional information regarding event-related subjects and content, please refer to Mechanics.
Historical Background
The following operation is based on a hypothetical operation that did not take place in Japan, but was however planned as one of four defense operation plans Japan had to defend thier area. Below is some details regarding the Defense Operation Plan:
Operation Sho-Go 3
Sho-Go 3 was the specialized defense operation that planned to defend Japan along with areas of Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Ogasawara Islands.
Operation Sho-Go 3 never got activated since the Americans chose to attack from Okinawa from the Philippines (Sho-Go 1) making this event partially a hypothetical operation.
Do note however, that certain key ships were planned for the defense operation plan and some routes will hold importance due to actual campaigns and locations of interest which will be listed below in the Related historical Campaign section.

Mechanics
Participation requirements
- Must have a 75% sortie win ratio.
- Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships.
- Must have 20 free equipment slots.
Special Mechanics
- The difficulty system returns: it is possible to choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium), Operation C (丙, Easy) or Operation D (丁, Casual).
- Choosing Hard or Normal requires a certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
- When switching from any "lower" difficulty to any "higher" difficulty, the map will fully be reset.
- When switching from any "higher" difficulty to any "lower" difficulty, the map will stay in the very same state it was previously, with only +25% of TP/HP being reset on the current phase's TP/HP bar.
- Beginning with the second map, difficulty progression rules apply.
- In order to play a map on Hard difficulty, the prior map must have been completed on either Normal or Hard.
- e.g., to do E-2 on hard, E-1 must be completed on normal or hard.
- To simulate simultaneity of battles in different locations, Fleet Tags conditions & deployment restrictions are employed.
- Ships not already color-tagged will be tagged with the color associated with a map or map's phase when deployed. This tag will be applied regardless of the difficulty and can't be removed by any measure before the end of the event.
- One map can use multiple tags, usually separated by phases or fleets.
- Several maps can share one or more tags.
- On Normal or Hard difficulty, ships must have either the same-colored tag as the map/phase being deployed to, or no tag at all.
- This requirement is sometimes waived on certain maps, mostly on the last map of the event where tags only matter on Hard, or on post-clear.
