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.

Historical Background
Disclaimer: The following information is based upon a summary of World War II history and may not have any influence with the game itself. This is for historical reference only.
The 5th Fleet
The 5th Fleet were mainly composed of IJN ships that were stationed up in the North back in 1943-1944. They were mainly sent there as a defensive measure to prevent US forces from approaching from the Northern Pacific.
They were also being considered to conduct an invasion against Russia at some point during the war, but due to the outcomes as the war progressed, the 5th Fleet would eventually have to move to Letye to battle the American forces down in the south which would ultimately destroy all but two ships that was a part of the fleet. This Fleet would then become disbanded.
The following list is a list of the all the members of the 5th Fleet from the 2nd Sino-Japanese War, all the way to before Leyte Gulf.

The Kurile Islands and the Battle of Shumshu
Prior to to WWII back in 1941, Japan began to occupy the Kurile Islands to set up as one of many base of operations as they were slowly gathering to engage in war in the US. The place was chosen since it was an area which had a small population and was constant cover of fog. It also was under ownership of the Japanese after a ratified agreement made between Russian and Japan back in 1875.
During the War, the American forces would attempt to attack the Kurile Islands bombing both Shumshu and Paramushiro in 1943 which would later alert Japan's army and navy to take additional defenses again the American's assault resulting in the 5th Fleet being stationed in the North to defend the Kurile Islands and to aid in plans to help expand thier reach in the Northern Pacific.
As time would pass, eventually the 5th Fleet would be reassign to defend the Letye Gulf in late 1944,which would ultimately seal thier fate.
By the time the war came to an end with America, Japan would then face off another battle against the Russian forces that would invade both Shumshu and Paramushiro. The Russian Army would advance from the north from thier base located at Petropavlosk. By around this time, Japan was suffering from a severe lack in resources to keep going. With only a small amount of Type 97 bombers, 4 Hayabusa, the 11th Tank Battalion, and several thousands of soldiers. Japan would fight thier last battle to defend the islands, but ultimately due to thier suffering losses from the war they would ultimately surrender to the Russians and would give the islands back to Russian and leave the Kurile Islands.
