Introduction
The Spring 2017 Event titled "Sortie! Fifth Fleet To the North East!"is planned to begin around May 2nd, 2017. Details regarding the event note that the event will be taking place in the Northern Pacific Area (But not in the AL area), will consist of 5 maps in which 3 of them will take place as a main stage operation, while the remaining 2 maps will be an extra Operation.
The Theme of the Operation revealed in KanColle Style Vol.4 and Famitsu's April 27th Magazine notes that it will center around Defensive Operation that will take place after "That battle" in which the remaining Type 97 Torpedo Bombers and Hayabusa fought thier final battle.
Evidence suggests the operation may focus on the Battle of Shumshu as this was where the remaining Type 97 Torpedo Bombers and Hayabusa had thier final battle against invading the Russian forces.
Using the details from the event location and information provided from the sources, the main location of the event is set to take place at the Kurile Islands around near Shumshu. In which the 5th Fleet was sent and stationed there around 1943- 1944.
In addition, it has been noted the some of the ships that will appear in this event will have named tied to locations around the area of the Operation.

Information
New Ships
It has been reported that multiple ships both large and small will be appearing in this event which the following has been confirmed.
- A former Cruiser Liner, that was changed to an escort carrier. It has been confirmed to be the nameship Taiyo of the Taiyou-class from Tanaka's Interview in April 27th's Famitsu Magazine.
- Said Escort Carrier is mentioned in Tanaka's Interview in KanColle Style Vol.4 and Dev Tweets note that she will be weak at first, but once trained and remodeled will become a capable ASW unit.
- A Battleship whose name was changed during the "Revolution", and later on was changed back to her original name.
- Evidence from Tanaka's Interview in April 27th's Famitsu Magazine suggests that the Battleship will not be named after any location in the Shumshu area. It's believed the battleship is the Russian battleship Sevastopol.
- Tanaka noted in his Interview in April 27th's Famitsu Magazine that there will also be another ship whose name is connected to the operation in the area.
