I'm too lazy to finish this right now, as usual basically 211 strats with the considerations spelled out a bit more obviously

==Generic Guide 101==
E-3 is not a difficult map (merely tedious), and the shiplock only applies on Hard Difficulty. Nevertheless, there are multiple phases to the map that must be tackled sequentially.
LBAS:
*You have access to all 3 LBAS bases.
*The range to the P1 boss (Node J) is 8.
*The range to the P2 boss (Node U) is 7.
*The range to Nodes O & T (required for unlocks) is 8.
===Part 1: Deleting Anchorage Water Demon (Vacation Mode)===
The most straightforward phase of the map. A Fast fleet with 2BB and no CVs (CVL allowed, but no more than 3 BBs+CVLs) will give you the fastest route to the boss.
*Route: AFIJ
*Nelson, if used (ideally with an RE slot), will require a speed boost set-up (turbine+boiler).
**Nelson Touch may be used to help with pre-boss clear rate at Node I, or to clear the boss fleet at Node J. Pick your poison.
*LBAS: 4 bombers on 2 bases to boss (Node I), 4 ASW (ideally Toukai) on 1 base to node F to help with pass rate.
===Part 2: Unlocking the Second Boss Node===
===Part 3: Unlocking the Second Start Point===
===Part 4: Debuffing the Boss (once HP bar is within LD range ONLY)===
