→Ship TP
Transport Operations are currently an '''Event Only Mechanic''' which has made an appearance since the [[Fall 2015 Event]] and currently have appeared in each event since then. The main goal of Transport Operations is to haul supplies to a particular location on the map which may be the main objective of serve as part of a main objective depending on the rules of the map.
[[File:Transport Map.png|thumb|right|Example of an event map with a transport operation from Winter 2016.]]
Transport Operations are an event mechanic that was introduced during the [[Fall 2015 Event]]. Unlike the usual map-clearing mechanic, completing a Transport Operation does not require to kill the boss.
==About Transport Operation Maps==
=Overview=
The objective of the Transport Operation is to deplete a '''Transport (TP)''' gauge/bar.
* 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.
The boss does not need to be sunk at any point.
* Sinking it may be advisable to get S ranks and so deplete the gauge faster.
* In the eventuality there is no boss node after the TP node, then just reaching the node is enough, counting as an S rank all the time.
Those phases are usually completed by a single fleet or a "[[Combined_Fleet#Combined Fleet Types|Transport Escort Force]]" (TCF).
[[1-6]] behaves similarly to Transport Operations, but is not one, being much simpler.
=TP Gauge Depletion=
''For more information regarding combined fleets please view the [[Combined Fleet]] section.''
TP gauge reduction is calculated using the following formula:
{{Formula
|Title=Damage Formula
|Math=\text{TP}_\text{drain} = \Bigg\lfloor \bigg\lfloor \Big( \sum_\text{All equipment} \text{TP}_\text{equip} + \sum_\text{All ships} \text{TP}_\text{ship} \Big) \bigg\rfloor \times \text{Mod}_\text{rank} \Bigg\rfloor
|Var= <math>\text{Mod}_\text{rank}</math> the rank modifier, being:
**'''1.0''' for S ranks,
**'''0.7''' for A ranks,
**'''0''' otherwise.
* <math>\text{TP}_\text{equip}</math> the Equipment TP value, described ''[[#Equipment TP|below]]''.
* <math>\text{TP}_\text{ship}</math> the Ship TP value, described ''[[#Ship TP|below]]''.
**It is '''0''' for all shipw being either heavily damaged, [[Evacuation|evacuated]], or sunk.

[[File:Transport Supply notice.png|thumb|right|When your fleet reaches the transport drop off point, you will receive a notice which shows how much transport equipment you brough with your fleet which will count toward you TP score.

[[File:Transport Complete.png|thumb|right|Once the TP Gauge is successfully depleted, it will explode before either the map is considered complete or moves on to another Gauge.]]
The following equipment will count towards your '''TP score''' for each one you have in your fleet once you successfully beat the boss node with an '''A or S rank.'''
===Equipment TP===
The following equipment increase the TP drain for Transport Operations.
*Those bonuses stacks infinitly, regardless of the exact equipment.

*Here, [[Kinu Kai Ni]] stacks the base CL bonus with the [[Landing Craft]] one, thanks to her innate [[Daihatsu Landing Craft]].
=Tips=
* 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.
* When using a Transport Escort Fleet, the escort fleet should be where the combat-focused ship girls are assigned, since the escort may also attack at night.
* Although Landing Craft deplete the most TP, careful consideration should go into whether using [[Landing Craft]]-capable ships is appropriate. [[Ship Locking|Locking]] key ship when [[Anti-Installation]] is required in subsequent maps can result in disaster.
