'''Important Notes'''
+
* Night battle is unaffected by engagement.
+
* If a night battle special attack is evaded, [[Damage_Calculations#Chip_Damage|chip damage]] is applied instead.
+
* [[Graf Zeppelin]], [[Saratoga|Base Saratoga]], [[Taiyou|Taiyou Kai Ni]], [[Ark Royal|Ark Royal (with Swordfish]] use the surface night battle formula if they are not performing a carrier night attack.
+
* In night battle versus Abyssal installations, '''the torpedo stat is not counted'''.
+
** This also means any upgrade bonuses to torpedo power is ignored.
