+ | '''Note: The following guide is an early version of the guide for E-3. Some information may be incomplete, please carefully consider the information within until further update.''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Regarding the Northern Forces and 5th Fleet''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this operation you will be using the 5th Fleet along with the northern forces which are considered important for the operation as they will all have special buffs on this map since it takes place in the Northern Pacific. As such, most of the ships that have benefits are from the members of the 5th fleet and Russians as they are as follows: | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''5th Fleet - Northern Division''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''[[Nachi]], [[Ashigara]], [[Kiso]] , [[Tama]] , [[Abukuma]], [[Kasumi]] - 1.1x''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Russians''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''[[Verniy]], [[Tashkent]], [[Gangut]] - 1.15x''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Majority of this fleet is considered fine to use here if necessary, but some ships like [[Kasumi]] and [[Abukuma]] are considered more vital for the '''Pearl Harbor Operation''' so please consider who you bring before you go into this map as they can be more helpful in the later operations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Objective''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this operation, you will be conducting the 2nd AL operation and will be deployed to conduct a distraction up in the North. In order to successfully complete this operation, you will need to complete the following tasks: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * ''' Defeat the [[Heavy Cruiser Princess]] and her Fleet.''' | ||
+ | * '''Opening up the passage from near Kiska to allow for a Shortcut (Starting Point 2)''' | ||
+ | * '''Attack and defeat the [[Little Northern Princess]]''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''' Defeat the [[Heavy Cruiser Princess]] and her Fleet.''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Recommended Fleet''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Surface Task Force'''<br> | ||
+ | '''2(F)BB, 2 CA, 2 CVL + 1 CL, 2 CA, 1 CLT, 2DD''' (5th Fleet and Russian members recommended) | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Path''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Slow Fleet method)<br> | ||
+ | '''B-C-F-I-L-M'''<br> | ||
+ | '''B-C-F-I-K-L-M'''<br> | ||
+ | '''B-C-F-K-L-M''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Fast Fleet method)<br> | ||
+ | '''B-F-I-L-M'''<br> | ||
+ | '''B-F-I-K-L-M'''<br> | ||
+ | '''B-F-K-L-M''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Recommended LBAS''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''' Boss LBAS Run'''<br> | ||
+ | '''LBAS 1 and 2''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''1 Fighter / 3 Land Base Bomber ''' Distance of 7 needed''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this operation phase, you'll be facing off against mostly enemy fleets with some light carriers in tow. So bringing sufficient fighter power will be needed to ensure your survival. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *For higher difficulties, you may need to use either equipment consisting of 1 Torpedo bomber, 1 Fighter bomber, 2 Fighters or have one of you CVLs be a complete fighter mule depending on how you approach the map. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Most of the ships that are considered important for this operation will also be '''slow ships''' which will affect your routing making you run into addition nodes along the trip. So in order to successfully complete this map, additional measure may need to be taken such as: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Using Boilers and Turbines, to help with[[Improving your Ship Speed]] and make everyone go fast | ||
+ | * Use Fast only ships | ||
+ | * Simply accept the slow path and fight along the way. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You will also get to choose a path along the way where you'll get to face off an against air node featuring the [[Little Northern Princess]] and her land base group attacking your fleet from the distance (Node I) or go up against a surface fleet (Node K). Keep in mind that on this path there will be a risk and reward depending on the approach you take: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Node I have a 50% chance of routing to K or L | ||
+ | * Going from I to L will only consume 5% fuel and ammo | ||
+ | * Going from I to K to L will consume 25% of your fuel and ammo | ||
+ | * Going from K to L will consume 20% of your fuel and ammo | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each route has it's own risk and reward to how well you survive, but otherwise, going through node I in hope of bypassing K may be worth the risk to save on extra fuel and ammo to get the best out of your fleet by the time your reach the boss node. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Node L will be a fight against some Ta-class Battleships along with a Nu-class Light Carrier which your fleet will need to overcome prior to fighting the boss fleet. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you reach the boss fleet you'll fight off against the '''Heavy Cruiser Princess''' who will be in a combined fleet. Most of her combined fleet will have some simple light weight ships along with a CVL in tow. Since the air power won't be too significant, you can use an LBAS consisting of mostly Land Base Bombers (see recommended LBAS). Also bring Boss support is recommended. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Keep in mind however that on '''Hard Mode''' you will face a vastly improved version of the '''Heavy Cruiser Princess''' which will have much higher combat capabilities and higher armor to making successfully defeating her much harder to do. Having someone that can hit close to 300 cap and likely do crits will be the key to successfully defeating her on hard if you get her HP low enough. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Once defeated, the path to the [[Little Northern Princess]] will open. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Opening up the passage from near Kiska to allow for a Shortcut (Starting Point 2)''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | To get the best possible way to reach the [[Little Northern Princess]] your fleet will need to be able to complete a few objectives to get gain access to the 2nd Starting point which includes: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Successfully Intercept the Base Air Raid | ||
+ | * Gain AS+ at Node E | ||
+ | * Gain AS+ at Node I | ||
+ | * S Rank Node O | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''' Successfully Intercept the Base Air Raid''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''LBAS 3''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''4 Interceptors / Fighters''' (Air Defense)''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you have enough good interceptors this can be done easily on it's own especially while you clear the first part as it will count to the requirements | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Gain AS+ at Node I''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Surface Task Force'''<br> | ||
+ | '''2(F)BB, 2 CA, 2 CVL + 1 CL, 2 CA, 1 CLT, 2DD''' | ||

+ | |||
+ | '''4 Fighters''' (Distance of 5 needed) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | '''Path''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''A-F-I''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Arm your CVLs with your best fighters and use an LBAS with fighters along with an AACI DD to get an easy AS+ thus completing the requirement. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Gain AS+ at Node E''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Carrier Task Force'''<br> | ||
+ | '''(F)BB, 2 CA, 1 CV 2 CVL + 1 CL, 2 CA, 1 CLT, 2DD''' | ||

+ | |||
+ | '''A-D-E-H-J-P-O''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | This will require your fleet to travel through several battles and will require a considerable amount of effort to complete due to the air raid nodes and node that contain carriers. If needed, be sure to bring a In-Route support fleet to help you successfully get to the node more safely. Once you reach node, the fleet will consist of some Ru-classes along with a CVL and some DDs. All which should be easily killable with the support of an LBAS. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you complete all the requirements, the 2nd starting point and the short cut will be open. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Attack and defeat the [[Little Northern Princess]]''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | For this segment, you will need to consider what kind of fleet you will use for this phase. As there will be several ways you can approach tackling the boss in question. How you approach it and what you bring can be a decisive factor on how well the battle goes for you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Below are 2 of the most used methods: | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Surface Task Force Method''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Surface Task Force'''<br> | ||
+ | '''1(F)BB,1 AV, 1 CL 1 CA, 2 CVL + 1 CL, 2 CA, 1 FBB, 2DD''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Path''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''S-H-J-P-O-R''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Strengths''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | *Can reliably use their combat capability to knock out installations efficiently with proper equipment setups. | ||
+ | *Can bring many members of the 5th Fleet and Russians to further buff your combat performance. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Weakness''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | *Node J and O can present possible issues since your fleet will mainly be anti-installation geared (In-Route support recommended to counter this problem) | ||
+ | |||
+ | While this fleet will be strong against the boss fleet, getting to the boss may present a serious issue. Bring in-route support to help your fleet survive the trip against the carriers and battleships you'll face along the ways. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | '''Carrier Task Force Method''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Carrier Task Force'''<br> | ||
+ | '''1 AO, 1 CL 1 CA, 1CV, 2 CVL + 1 CL, 2 CA, 1 FBB, 2DD''' (Fast Fleet)<br> | ||
+ | '''1 AO, 1 CL 1 CA, 2CV, 2 CVL + 1 CL, 2 CA, 3DD''' (Fast Fleet) | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Path''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''S-H-J-P-R''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Strengths''' | ||
+ | * Will bring more Air power to the boss node | ||
+ | * Will have more Fuel and ammo at the boss node (if you can make the whole fleet fast) | ||
+ | * Will allow for Carriers (with proper equipment) to attack installations | ||
+ | * May be a good alternative if you lack enough anti-installation gear. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Weaknesses''' | ||
+ | * Without an all fast fleet this composition is less effective compared to STF. | ||
+ | * Carriers may not deliver nearly as effective damage against some installation types (and will be rendered useless without the proper plane set ups) | ||
+ | * May not have an overall hard hitting anti-installation unit | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you can make your oiler and other slow ships faster with turbines and boilers, it'll make it possible for your fleet to go the fastest possible route to the boss node allowing for a harder hitting crew to be available. This can be a good alternative to the other composition if you lack in enough anti-installation gear. As it can bring a capable fleet to the boss. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Dealing with the [[Little Northern Princess]]''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Recommended LBAS''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''LBAS 1-2''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''' 1 Land Base Fighter/Carrier Fighter + 3 Land Base Bombers ''' (Distance of 7 needed) | ||
+ | |||
+ | This fight will have you (depending on the difficulty) be pitted against an entire land base enemy unit in which the main group will consist of almost entirely of installations consisting of [[Artillery Imp]]s, [[Supply Depot Princess]]es, and an [[Airfield Princess]]. While the escort fleet will have smaller ships and possibly [[PT Imp Group]]s. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use an LBAS consisting of mainly bombers and a little bit of Fighter power to clear out as many of the installations and other smaller units you can. As taking them out will help with making it more possible to concentrate your attacks on the installations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In addition, in-route and boss support is highly recommended to ensure your safety to the boss and to further knock down the boss's units. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A key thing to remember about this battle will be to ensure your chances of success are great, a couple of things should be considered when arming your ships: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * DD with AA guns and [[Skilled Lookouts]] are effective against PT imps | ||
+ | * [[Artillery Imp]]s are weak to '''AP Shells''', [[WG42]]s and [[Daihatsu]]/Tank based weapons like [[Daihatsu-class Landing Craft (Type 89 Medium Tanks & Marines)]], [[Type 2 Ka-Mi Tank]] | ||
+ | * [[Supply Depot Princess]] are weak to all Anti-installation equipment thus using a mixture of [[Daihatsu-class Landing Craft (Type 89 Medium Tanks & Marines)]], [[Type 2 Ka-Mi Tank]] and [[WG42]] can be super effective against her | ||
+ | * [[Airfield Princess]] is mainly weak to [[Type 3 Shell]]s and [[WG42]] | ||
+ | * [[Little Northern Princess]] is mainly weak to [[Type 3 Shell]]s and [[WG42]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | By keeping these factors all in mind you can organize a fleet of ships that can be balanced out to help assist with taking out installations some note worthy ones to consider for this map can be: | ||
+ | |||
+ | *[[Commandant Teste]] using a mixture of [[Daihatsu-class Landing Craft (Type 89 Medium Tanks & Marines)]], [[Type 2 Ka-Mi Tank]] and [[WG42]] | ||
+ | *4 slot CLs like [[Ooyodo]], [[Gotland]], [[Yuubari]] which can hit hard with using 2 WG42 and 2 guns | ||
+ | *[[Verniy]] and [[Tama]] armed with [[Daihatsu-class Landing Craft (Type 89 Medium Tanks & Marines)]], [[Type 2 Ka-Mi Tank]] and [[WG42]] | ||
+ | *[[Tashkent]] armed with 2 guns + 2 [[WG42]] | ||
+ | *[[Nachi]], [[Ashigara]] and [[Gangut]] armed with [[Type 3 Shell]]s. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Using members like these here and having the appropriate gear the key to victory as it will otherwise hard to take out most of the installations in battle without the right equipment. Other things to note regarding the fight includes: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Players on lower difficulties will likely have easier installations and less of them to take down along with less demanding restrictions. | ||
+ | * If you use a Carrier fleet, you will need to bring Torpedo bobmers and/or specific dive bombers that can work against installations such as [[Ju87C Kai]], [[F4U-1D]], [[Prototype Nanzan]] and [[Suisei Model 12 (634 Air Group w/ Type 3 Cluster Bombs)]] | ||
+ | * Using certain key ships like [[Gangut]] or [[Tashkent]], who has a higher damage modifiers toward the bottom of your escort fleet, may also be key to your victory | ||
+ | |||
+ | Repeat until the [[Little Northern Princess]] has been fully defeated on final kill to complete the operation. | ||

Historical Background
Disclaimer: The following information is based upon a summary of World War II history and may not have any influence on the game itself. This is for historical reference only.
The Attack on Pearl Harbor
On December 7th, 1941, the Japanese would commence with a full carrier attack against the United State's naval forces stationed at Pearl Harbor with the intent and goal to knock out many of the main ships and forces located in the area and to attempt to delay the Americans from launching a possible counter attack while they attempted to gain control of the Philippines later on in hopes of maintaining a route to transport oil back to thier country. On this day, the Kido Butai would launch massive air strike damaging many facilities in the Pearl Harbor front and incapacitating and sink many large ships include a large number of battleships, and various cruisers. This would would mark the beginning of Japan's War against the United States and would be known as the "date that would live on in infamy".

Mechanics
Participation requirements
- Must have a 75% sortie win ratio.
- Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships.
- Must have 20 free equipment slots.
Special Mechanics
- The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (甲, Hard), Operation B (乙, Medium), Operation C (丙, Easy) or Operation D (丁, Very Easy) .
- 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 from Summer 2015 Event's final map, where certain nodes had to be killed to reduce boss armor will return.
- It might be possible, that they will allow a fleet with seven ships (Striking Force Fleet) to sortie to certain event maps that allow single fleet operations starting from E-2, and also includes the final map of the event.
- The Striking Force cannot be sortied during exercises or sent on expeditions while it contains seven ships.
- The Striking Force can only be created and used in the third fleet in the menu (out of a total of four fleets).
- A Striking Force with a flagship that carries a new piece of equipment, the Striking Force Fleet Command Facility, will be able to make use of the new Single Ship Evacuation mechanic.
- The new Single Ship Evacuation mechanic that will become available for the Striking Force as of E-4 allowing a single ship in the fleet to retreat from the battlefield after an enemy engagement if she suffered heavy damage.
- It is possible for the damage to become even worse during a Single Ship Evacuation.
- Unlike the Combined Fleet's evacuation mechanic, it does not require an escort destroyer.
- The new Striking Force Fleet Command Facility will become obtainable and useable via the old Fleet Command Facility and the Action Report that can be earned in the upcoming Fall Event. The Fleet Command Facility, as well as the new Action Report item, will be obtainable on all difficulty levels, including Medium and Easy Mode.
- Supplementary information regarding the new Striking Force Fleet Command Facility and the Single Ship Evacuation it allows when carried by the striking force's flagship:
- The evacuation does not require an escort destroyer.
- The evacuation consumes the ship's entire fuel & ammo reserves.
- Only one ship can be evacuated per battle.
- The damage the ship suffered may become worse during the evacuation, but she will never sink.
- The new Single Ship Evacuation mechanic that will become available for the Striking Force as of E-4 allowing a single ship in the fleet to retreat from the battlefield after an enemy engagement if she suffered heavy damage.
- Returning this event, the Vanguard Formation can be used .
- This formation will organize the fleet such that the 3rd-6th/7th ships protect the Flagship and 2nd Ship of the Fleet.
- In addition, the formation allows for ships to become more evasive in combat situations, especially with well-trained Destroyer.
- This formation is also available only during the duration of the event.
- The formation will be usable by both normal fleets as well as the Striking Force Fleet.
- This formation will organize the fleet such that the 3rd-6th/7th ships protect the Flagship and 2nd Ship of the Fleet.
- New: NPC Friend Fleets have been introduced into the game.
- Friend Fleets act as another unit that appears in particular battles to help aid your fleet when attacking the enemy at the start of night battle.
- NPC Friend Fleets are selected from a randomized preset list of ship.
- Depending on who you have in your fleet can also influence who will be arrive to aid you in battle.
- Friend Fleets act as another unit that appears in particular battles to help aid your fleet when attacking the enemy at the start of night battle.
- New: Enemy Radar Ambush Nodes is introduced into the game.
- Entering this node will result in your fleet facing off against an enemy fleet that will ambush and attack your fleet
- Your Fleet will not be able to fight against the enemy Fleet.
- By meeting certain conditions, you can evade these nodes.
- Entering this node will result in your fleet facing off against an enemy fleet that will ambush and attack your fleet

Tips
E-1 is relatively simple to do on this event even on hard difficulty with a moderately trained fleet. As most of the map will require you to engage against simple surface fleets and submarines. A good general recommendation for who to choose for this map if you play on normal or hard difficulty is avoid using fleets affiliated with Pearl Harbor, the 2nd Fleet and Operation Ten-Go Members, and fleets that made up Operation AL and Northern Forces. Most other standard ships that are not key ships and are average in combat are suitable for this map. If you are a newer player who only just recently started playing KanColle, playing on Easy or Casual difficulty omits Ship Locks. This allows you lots of flexibility as you can use your best ships while attempting to clear the map without heavy resource depletion. Node Summary
Objective Over the course of this map you will need to complete a patrolling operation around 4 major key points:
Note that all condition as of current are based on Hard Difficulty and can vary in lower difficulty. Most of these nodes can be done without the assistance of LBAS at this point unless you need assistance. Patrol around the Stugaru Strait and reach the base in Northern Hokkaidou (Node G) and take out all enemy forces (S Rank) in the Outer Hokkaidou Sea (Node O) and Hitokappu Bay (Node S) Recommended Fleet Path: D-B-C-F-G
Patrol and reach Hitokappu Bay (Node U) Recommended Fleet Path: D-H-I-J-L-Q-T-U
Once all conditions are met the path to Node W will be revealed. From there all you need to do is defeat the main enemy fleet led by the new Tsu-class Flagship. Recommended Fleet Path: D-H-I-J-L-O-W LoS of 50 (Cn3)[2] needed
The boss will be a Tsu-class Flagship which has HP on par to a Flagship Transport, and the combat strength similar to a battleship along with a much higher AA which will give it's fleet stronger AA in general. The Tsu-class will have several other CLs and DD in tow (and more elite Tsu-classes on higher difficulty). Bringing an LBAS to the boss may present some risks for you planes as they may get shot down and possibly lose rank but otherwise should help you clear out most of the enemy ships easily. If you bring name squadron planes like the Nonaka Squadron and other various named or skilled planes, it'll be more likely to survive the surface AA attacks. If your LBAS clear out enough enemy ships it should result in an easy fight where you wipe out almost everyone and finish off the Tsu-class in night battle. Repeat until the operation is complete. Alternatively, you can target Node O if it provides difficulty or if you're concerned about plane ranks and would prefer to use a support fleet on the boss. Support Fleets
LBAS Recommendation 4 Ryuusei or 4 Land Base Bombers (Range 5)

Tips
Regarding the 2nd Fleet In this operation you will be using the 2nd Fleet which are considered important of operation as they will all have special buffs on this map since it takes place in Okinawa. As such, most of the ships that have benifits are from the 2nd Fleet from April 1st, 1945 that were still alive during Operation Ten-Go and they are follows: Both Node L and U Yamato, Yahagi, Yukikaze, Hatsushimo, Asashimo, Suzutsuki, Isokaze, Hamakaze - 1.15x Node L Only Ryuuhou, Junyou, Sakawa, Hibiki, Ushio - 1.1x Most fleets here are not entirely tied to Pearl Harbor except for Hamakaze, Isokaze, Hatsushimo, and Kasumi. So you decide to choose among members of Ten-Go for this operation, please consider the fact that these ships along with other key TCI ships Yukikaze may also become more vital for later EO operations. Objective In this map, your objective will be to provide reinforcement in the Nansei Island area by completing a transport operation to Node L before later engaging against a Carrier force in the western part of the waters. Overall you mission will consist of the following:
As noted in Ooyodo's chalkboard, CVs and CVB are not allowed in this operation.
Recommended Fleet 1 CVL or CAV, 1 CL, 4 DD (Fast Fleet recommended) Path A-C-F-J-K-L Summary
Your CVL should be armed as a fighter mule (On lower difficulties, you can use 1 Torpedo bomber and 3 Fighters) due to the dangers the air node presents to your fleet. In addition to this , the bringing and LBAS to provide air protection for your fleet along the trip is also recommended. Most nodes following this are small surface ships like DDs and CLs along with some subs prior to reaching the boss, Vangaurd and line abreast accordingly to try surviving these fights. To avoid hitting the sub node at Node I please bring an All Fast Fleet. Once you reach the boss node you'll face against a Battleship Princess (which you may face up to 2 of them in harder difficulties) along with some other CLs and DDs Since the boss lacks in air power, you can consider using a full bombing LBAS unit for this node. Repeat until TP gauge has been depleted. Once the TP gauge is depleted the a new boss gauge will appear but before you can use go further you'll need to complete to unlock the path to the new boss. Recommended LBAS Air Protection for Node C LBAS 1 4 Fighters/Land Base Fighters (Range 4 needed) Along with a fighter mule CVL this combination is likely to survive the map in question with little difficulty. Bombing the Battleships Princess at Node L LBAS 1 and/or 2 4 Land Base Bombers (Range 7 needed) As the boss has no air power, you can use this fleet to help clear out most of the enemies without trouble. If you are feel like taking a risk with Node C and going all out, you can use both LBAS on this node for an effective result. Unlocking the Path: Clear the air attack nodes from carriers attacks by gaining AS (Nodes B and C) Recommended Fleet 2 CVL Path A-B LBAS 1 and/or 2 4 Fighters/Land Base Fighters (Range 4 needed) In this phase, simply arm your two CVL with fighters and use your Land Base to engage the air nodes on each node, use your 1-2 LBAS with only fighters and have them target these nodes. The rest should come easily as you gain AS from these node and once done, the path to the new boss node will be open. Eliminate the Aircraft Carrier Princess and her Carrier Task Force Fleet. Once you enter this part of the operation, you will be facing a large series of attacks from submarines, along with a large amount of air stirkes that you'll need to pass and then finally facing a tough surface fleet before fighting the Aircraft Carrier Princess. You will need to bring a considerable amount of AA defenses, along with combat, and LoS (with a flagship that has a Surface Radar as part of the LoS requirement) Because of the difficulty this map presents there are only several ways people can consider playing this map, all which present thier own risks.
Here are a Summary of the possible compositions that the player can consider:
Below is a more detailed explanation of some of the fleets which have been commonly used by players: Ten-Go Fleet Overview: Ten-Gou style fleets (preferably using actual Ten-Gou members for the damage bonuses) have a shorter route to the boss, but are vulnerable and will struggle to deal damage prior to the night battle phase.
Recommended Fleet 1 BB, 5 DD (Yamato + 3-5 Ten-Go DDs recommended) Path 2-N-O1-O2-O3-P3-Q3-S-T-U Strengths
Weaknesses
This comp ensure you a relatively safer path away from most air node but in return you are bound to have to hope you can dodge the bombing attacks as both air strikes and boss fleet will have AS+ and contact on thier side over the course of the attack. Arming your DDs fleet with HA guns is recommended along 2 members that can AACI. You will need to fully entrust in a support fleet both in-route and at boss node to ensure your chances at survival. BB, CVL, CL, 3 DD (Yamato + Yahagi + 3 Ten-Go DDs recommended) Path 2-N-O1-O2-O3-P3-Q3-R-H-T-U Strengths
Weaknesses
This comp is more of a middle of the road composition which will give you some air power, but in return you'll need to have go through more air battles, so having 2 AACI members ready along with Yahagi and Yamato being more combat ready can help. Also if you have an expansion slot on your CVL and have a Rocket Launcher Kai 2 consider equipping it to her to negate any damage she might receive during the air attack nodes. This comp can also be decent for handling the boss node if you bring enough air power to support it from both your LBAS. Like the previous comp, in-route and boss support is recommended. Heavy Fleet Summary: Heavy Fleets (using Ten-Gou members where possible for the damage bonuses) have a longer route to the boss that goes through more air raid nodes, but have better survivability and damage output at the boss node.
Recommended Fleet 4 (F)BB(V), 2 CVL Path 2-N-O1-P1-Q1-Q2-R-E-H-T-U Strengths
Weaknesses
This is one of the easier ways to successfully clear the map, but it will present a possible issue in later event maps as Nagato, Mutsu, Ise, Hyuuga, Fusou and Yamashiro are all relevant to Pearl Harbor. Use foreign battleships if you have any. But keep in mind that some of them such as Gangut will have importance in later maps as well. Locking your BBs here can mean the difference between running a fleet for EO or being forced to possibly reduce the difficulty. Like the previous comp, in-route and boss support is recommended. If you are uncertain, avoid using this composition until more information is updated regarding this comp once EO maps are released. Offensive Assault against the Carrier Princess (Pre-kill and Final Kill) LBAS 1 - 2 2 Land Bases Fighters/ Carrier Fighters, 2 Land Base Bombers (Range 7 needed) You will need considerable a means to protect your land base bombers to a degree, but due to the amount of air power + Tsu-class (especially flagship on hard) there will always be a chance your bombers will be shot down and loose rank. Because of this, you need to be ready to deal with this factor and accept that you'll need to retrain your planes.
No matter what comp you use, there will be difficulty completing this map, keep trying until you succeed and once the boss is successfully killed on her last bit of HP the map is considered complete.

Tips
Regarding the Northern Forces and 5th Fleet In this operation you will be using the 5th Fleet along with the northern forces which are considered important for the operation as they will all have special buffs on this map since it takes place in the Northern Pacific. As such, most of the ships that have benefits are from the members of the 5th fleet and Russians as they are as follows: 5th Fleet - Northern Division Nachi, Ashigara, Kiso , Tama , Abukuma, Kasumi - 1.1x Russians Verniy, Tashkent, Gangut - 1.15x The Majority of this fleet is considered fine to use here if necessary, but some ships like Kasumi and Abukuma are considered more vital for the Pearl Harbor Operation so please consider who you bring before you go into this map as they can be more helpful in the later operations. Objective In this operation, you will be conducting the 2nd AL operation and will be deployed to conduct a distraction up in the North. In order to successfully complete this operation, you will need to complete the following tasks:
Defeat the Heavy Cruiser Princess and her Fleet. Recommended Fleet Surface Task Force Path (Slow Fleet method) (Fast Fleet method) Recommended LBAS Boss LBAS Run 1 Fighter / 3 Land Base Bomber Distance of 7 needed In this operation phase, you'll be facing off against mostly enemy fleets with some light carriers in tow. So bringing sufficient fighter power will be needed to ensure your survival.
Most of the ships that are considered important for this operation will also be slow ships which will affect your routing making you run into addition nodes along the trip. So in order to successfully complete this map, additional measure may need to be taken such as:
You will also get to choose a path along the way where you'll get to face off an against air node featuring the Little Northern Princess and her land base group attacking your fleet from the distance (Node I) or go up against a surface fleet (Node K). Keep in mind that on this path there will be a risk and reward depending on the approach you take:
Each route has it's own risk and reward to how well you survive, but otherwise, going through node I in hope of bypassing K may be worth the risk to save on extra fuel and ammo to get the best out of your fleet by the time your reach the boss node. Node L will be a fight against some Ta-class Battleships along with a Nu-class Light Carrier which your fleet will need to overcome prior to fighting the boss fleet. Once you reach the boss fleet you'll fight off against the Heavy Cruiser Princess who will be in a combined fleet. Most of her combined fleet will have some simple light weight ships along with a CVL in tow. Since the air power won't be too significant, you can use an LBAS consisting of mostly Land Base Bombers (see recommended LBAS). Also bring Boss support is recommended. Keep in mind however that on Hard Mode you will face a vastly improved version of the Heavy Cruiser Princess which will have much higher combat capabilities and higher armor to making successfully defeating her much harder to do. Having someone that can hit close to 300 cap and likely do crits will be the key to successfully defeating her on hard if you get her HP low enough.
Opening up the passage from near Kiska to allow for a Shortcut (Starting Point 2) To get the best possible way to reach the Little Northern Princess your fleet will need to be able to complete a few objectives to get gain access to the 2nd Starting point which includes:
Successfully Intercept the Base Air Raid LBAS 3 4 Interceptors / Fighters (Air Defense) If you have enough good interceptors this can be done easily on it's own especially while you clear the first part as it will count to the requirements Gain AS+ at Node I Surface Task Force Recommended LBAS LBAS 1 4 Fighters (Distance of 5 needed)
A-F-I Arm your CVLs with your best fighters and use an LBAS with fighters along with an AACI DD to get an easy AS+ thus completing the requirement. Gain AS+ at Node E Carrier Task Force Recommended LBAS LBAS 1 4 Fighters (Distance of 5 needed)
A-D-E Process is the same as prior method, should be completed the same way. S Rank Node O Carrier Task Force LBAS 1-2 4 Torpedo Bomber / Land Base Bombers (Distance of 6 needed) Path A-D-E-H-J-P-O This will require your fleet to travel through several battles and will require a considerable amount of effort to complete due to the air raid nodes and node that contain carriers. If needed, be sure to bring a In-Route support fleet to help you successfully get to the node more safely. Once you reach node, the fleet will consist of some Ru-classes along with a CVL and some DDs. All which should be easily killable with the support of an LBAS. Once you complete all the requirements, the 2nd starting point and the short cut will be open. Attack and defeat the Little Northern Princess For this segment, you will need to consider what kind of fleet you will use for this phase. As there will be several ways you can approach tackling the boss in question. How you approach it and what you bring can be a decisive factor on how well the battle goes for you. Below are 2 of the most used methods: Surface Task Force Method Surface Task Force Path S-H-J-P-O-R Strengths
Weakness
While this fleet will be strong against the boss fleet, getting to the boss may present a serious issue. Bring in-route support to help your fleet survive the trip against the carriers and battleships you'll face along the ways.
Carrier Task Force Path S-H-J-P-R Strengths
Weaknesses
If you can make your oiler and other slow ships faster with turbines and boilers, it'll make it possible for your fleet to go the fastest possible route to the boss node allowing for a harder hitting crew to be available. This can be a good alternative to the other composition if you lack in enough anti-installation gear. As it can bring a capable fleet to the boss. Dealing with the Little Northern Princess Recommended LBAS LBAS 1-2 1 Land Base Fighter/Carrier Fighter + 3 Land Base Bombers (Distance of 7 needed) This fight will have you (depending on the difficulty) be pitted against an entire land base enemy unit in which the main group will consist of almost entirely of installations consisting of Artillery Imps, Supply Depot Princesses, and an Airfield Princess. While the escort fleet will have smaller ships and possibly PT Imp Groups. Use an LBAS consisting of mainly bombers and a little bit of Fighter power to clear out as many of the installations and other smaller units you can. As taking them out will help with making it more possible to concentrate your attacks on the installations. In addition, in-route and boss support is highly recommended to ensure your safety to the boss and to further knock down the boss's units. A key thing to remember about this battle will be to ensure your chances of success are great, a couple of things should be considered when arming your ships:
By keeping these factors all in mind you can organize a fleet of ships that can be balanced out to help assist with taking out installations some note worthy ones to consider for this map can be:
Using members like these here and having the appropriate gear the key to victory as it will otherwise hard to take out most of the installations in battle without the right equipment. Other things to note regarding the fight includes:
Repeat until the Little Northern Princess has been fully defeated on final kill to complete the operation.
