[[File:Transport Map.png|thumb|right|Example of an event map with a transport operation from Winter 2016.]]

The objective of the Transport Operation is to deplete a '''Transport (TP)''' gauge/bar.

Transport Operations are an event mechanic that was introduced during the [[Fall 2015 Event]]. Unlike the usual map clearing mechanic, completing a Transport Operation doesn't require to kill the boss.

* The amount of TP that needs to be depleted varies by difficulty and map.

The TP Gauge is depleted each time the fleet reaches a '''"Transport Loadout Node"''' (a node marked with a green flag) and then scores an '''A+ rank''' at the boss, with S ranks depleting more points than A ranks.

* Ships that are {{color|red|'''heavily damaged (大破)'''}}, [[Evacuation|evacuated]], or sunk, are not counted towards gauge depletion.

* Sinking it may be advisable to get S ranks and so deplete the gauge faster.

Those phases are usually completed by a single fleet or a "[[Combined_Fleet#Combined Fleet Types|Transport Escort Force]]" (TCF).

* The objective of the Transport Operation is to deplete a '''Transport (TP)''' gauge.

[[1-6]] behaves similarly to Transport Operations, but is not one, being much simpler.

* The TP Gauge is depleted everytime the fleet reaches a '''Transport Loadout Node''' (a node marked with a green flag) and then scores at least an '''A rank''' at the boss.

** Ships that are {{color|red|'''heavily damaged (大破)'''}}, evacuated using a {{Equipment/Link|Fleet Command Facility|Striking Force Fleet Command Facility|Elite Torpedo Squadron Command Facility|text=Command Facility|link_category=Command Facilities}} or sunk are not counted towards gauge depletion.

* Those phases are usually completed by a single fleet or a [[Combined_Fleet#Transport_Escort_Force|Transport Escort Force]].

* Stacking only TP equipment can compromise the ability to score an A+ rank and result in no depletion at all. On the other hand, focusing too much on offensive capability may result in minimal gauge depletion even on an S rank.

**It is ideal to find a balance ranking A+ rank the boss while taking as much TP equipment as possible.
