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 you to kill the boss.
+
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.
* The objective of the Transport Operation is to deplete a '''Transport (TP)''' gauge.
  −
** The amount of TP that needs to be depleted varies by difficulty.
  −
* The TP Gauge is depleted everytime the fleet reaches a '''Transport Drop Off''' point (a node marked with a green flag) then scores at least an '''A rank''' victory at the boss.
  −
** Ship girls that are <span style="color:red;">'''heavily damaged (大破)'''</span>, evacuated using the [[Fleet Command Facility]] or sunk are not counted towards gauge depletion.
  −
* You do not need to sink the boss on the final run to clear the gauge.

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

TP gauge reduction is calculated using the following formula:
 
TP gauge reduction is calculated using the following formula:
<math>\text{TP Drain} = \lfloor \text{Mod}_\text{rank} \times \left( \sum^{\text{All equipment slots}} \text{TP}_\text{equip} + \sum^{\text{All ships in fleet}} \text{TP}_\text{ship} \right) \rfloor </math>

Some equipment provides TP values when used in Transport Operations. Each instance of the equipment shown in the table below contributes towards the TP drain.

 +
* 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.

* Stacking only TP depleting equipment can compromise your 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 where you can reliably A-rank the boss while taking as many TP depleting equipment as possible.

* When using a Transport Escort Fleet, the escort fleet should be where all your combat-focused ship girls are assigned. This is because the escort will bear the brunt of all combat.
