Their mission was to transport disassembled Saiuns to an ad hoc air base on Truk Atoll, where they would be used to scout the USN positions within Ulithi Atoll. |

Send a single SS(V) to that node and then retreat immediately after the battle animations and results screen. The morale loss should be negligible as the flagship will always attain MVP status, and the amount of fuel / ammo used is also very low. | ||

Introduction
The Winter 2017 Event Reconnaissance Force Emergency Deployment! Operation "Hikari" began on February 11, 2017 and ended on February 28th, 2017.
The theme of this event is based upon the Ogasawara Islands and "Operation Hikari", the IJN's planned reconnaissance of and raid on the USN base at Ulithi Atoll.
The event is a small-scale event, featuring only 3 maps.
While the event is centered around "Operation Hikari", specifically operations taking place in Nanao Bay, the Ogasawara Islands, and at the Ulithi atoll, the follow up operation of "Operation Arashi" is not part of this operation.
For additional information regarding event-related subjects and content related to the dev tweets, please refer to the following links:
- Combined Fleet
- Armor Reduction
- Land-Based Air Squadron
- Transport Operation
- Anti-Air Cut-In
- Line of Sight
- Improving Ship Speed (May become a part of event map requirements)
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 This is for historical reference only.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 Winter 2017 event is based upon two various operations.
E-1 and E-3 are based upon Operation Hikari, which was a transport operation by the submarines I-13 and I-14. Their mission was to transport disassembled Saiuns to an ad hoc air base on Truk Atoll, where they would be used to scout the USN positions within Ulithi Atoll.
E-1 represent the Nanoa Haku Bay area in the Japanese shoreline which I-13 and I-14 conducted a training practice prepare for Operation Hikari
E-3 represent Operation Hikari itself (with some slight historic difference as Tanaka stated in his interview)
E-2 represents the Ogasawara Islands, which served as part of a defense point for the IJN during WWII. Destroyer were often assigned to transport supplies to the islands. This also was the same location in which Matsukaze sunk at.
Information
New Ships
- Matsukaze - Reward for E-2 clear. A Kamikaze-Class Destroyer that served alongside Asakaze and sank in a transport operations off of Chichijima, Ogasawara Islands after being attacked by a Submarine.
- I-14 - Reward for E-3 clear. A submarine capable of carrying seaplanes that successfully took part in Operation Hikari.
- I-13 - E-3 drop. Comptiq Magazine revealed that the Twin Sister of the sub that partook in Operation Hikari would also be available in this event.
- Fujinami - E-2 drop. A new Yuugumo-class Destroyer.
New Equipment
- Saiun (Disassembled for Transport)
- Submarine Radar and Waterproof Periscope
- Submarine Radar and Radio Direction Finder (E27)
- Saiun (East Caroline Air Group)
Also, while not new equipment, this is the first time Zuiun (631st Air Group) is available outside of rank rewards.
New Enemy Vessels
New Enemy Equipment
Event Requirements
A minimum of two Saiun are required for E-3 on Normal and Hard difficulties. This only applies to players intending to tackle this part of the event on Normal or Hard difficulty. This was originally revealed over a week ahead of time through the official Twitter account[1]. Players on Easy difficulty only need Type 97 Torpedo Bombers for this segment of the event.[2]. In both cases, the planes are used to make Saiun (Disassembled for Transport) for delivery during the transport step.
This latter segment of the event was initially not available, being enabled from 12th February 2017, 2300 JST onward. [3]
New Quests
Upon reaching E-3 and selecting a difficulty you will be given a series of quests that you will be given to do based upon the difficulty of the map you play on. During the Transport Phase, there are two kinds of quests only one will be given based on the difficulty you choose. Plan accordingly as each quest will require you to do different things depending on the difficulty.

Following this, during the Boss kill phase as your fleet depletes the HP bar for the Abyssal Twin Princesses, you will eventually receive a quest that will be given to you once the HP is low enough to perform the final kill against the Abyssal Twin Princesses. Upon completing this quest, the Himes will weaken and become easier to deliver the final kill.

- Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
- An important note to all Admirals intending to clear the event on Hard difficulty - further (new) conditions now apply:
- When switching difficulty from any other difficulty to Hard, the map's debuff mechanism (where applicable) will be reset.
- Switching between any other difficulties will not reset the debuff mechanism.
- When switching difficulty from any other difficulty to Hard, the map's debuff mechanism (where applicable) will be reset.
- The debuff system of Summer 2015 Event's final map, where certain nodes had to be killed to reduce boss armor, returns. The mechanic is featured in the final map, but is believed to lower the armor of the boss escorts instead of the boss. (For more details, consult E-3)
- Additionally, there is a quest-based debuff that targets the E-3 boss' armor. (As above, see E-3)
- Operation A (甲, Hard) and Operation B (乙, Medium) will require you to have a minimum of two fleets ready due to fleet locking (see above for details)
