Historical Background
Disclaimer: The following information is based upon a summary of World War II history and may not have any bearing on in-game mechanics. This is for historical reference only.
Operation Shingle
Operation Shingle AKA, the Battle of Anzio served as a major battle front at the beginning of 1944 where the British and the American Forces proceeded to storm and land in Anzio, Italy. To attempt to gain control of the Italian costal front.
E-3 mainly represents the naval battle that took place in Anzio, Italy leading to the storming of the city. Because there it not many historical ships tied to this event outside of Jervis and Janus, in place of this, ships that have national ties to Britain, America, Italy, and Germany will have greater importance here.

Tips
Locking Recommendation Total of 8/9 Ships:
Phase 1: Scouting the area (Unlocking the Boss Route) This is pretty straightforward, as it requires you to A-Rank the Nodes A, D, K and L. You have one LBAS at your disposal, which you can send to help you complete these nodes. The maximum Range required is 5
Completing these tasks will unlock Node N containing the Boss Phase 2: Fighting Summer French Battleship Princess To clear the map, you are required to deplete the HP Bar by damaging the Summer French Battleship Princess and sink her on Last Dance. As she has up to 254 Armour on Last Dance, bringing TCI or Ships with historical Bonus is highly recommended. As the Preboss nodes are fairly weak, you can send a 5 Range LBAS to the Boss. You are required to have 58 Fighterpower to meet Air Denial on all compositions. AS on the boss itself ranges from 108-257, so plan the Aircraft of the LBAS and your Fleet accordingly There are two routes:

Tips
Locking Recommendation On Hard difficulty, several considerations should be taken into account (as these will also affect your potential options for E-3, the final map).
If you are confident that you have sufficient resources to split between E-2 and E-3, you can consider using the guide below as it will cover mostly Hard mode preparations. Otherwise, if you plan to do Medium or less, there is no reason to hold back on who your bring to get the best out of your fleet as E-3 will have no lock on Medium or below. A rough outline of possible asset allocation (hello, economics 101, scarcity) follows. Also note that current research suggests that Ark Royal, Jervis, and Italian ships in general have the highest bonus modifiers for the E-2 P2 boss (E-2 P1 boss is essentially an anti-installation equipment check). Allied ships generally appear to have higher bonus modifiers for the E-3 P2 boss. The E-3 P1 boss is generally vulnerable to anti-installation set-ups, and also takes torpedo damage into account.
First Phase: Going through Gibraltar The E2P1 boss is essentially an anti-installation equipment check. There are three approaches to defeat the Boss. One involves a Surface Task Force allowing you to bring more firepower, the other a Transport Combined Fleet, enabling you to skip a dangerous Preboss Node
Second Phase: Killing the Abyssal Mediterranean Princess There are two options: Fast STF and Superheavy STF. Both will reach the boss fairly consistently, but expect LD to be more difficult to clear due to the boss' high armour on LD. LD on hard mode is especially difficult as you will be pitted up against a powerful Heavy Cruiser Princess along with the Abyssal Mediterranean Princess. Both which will have extremly high armor (278 and 288 resepctively) Friend Fleets may make LD somewhat easier once implemented. Until then, however, expect to face some difficulty in clearing as you are effectively rolling for crits against the boss' armour.

Tips
Preparing for E-3 E-3 will require you to be well prepared in terms of Interceptor equipment, anti-installation equipment and specific ships that will help you turn the tides of battle more easily for the higher difficulties. Below is a list of important questions you may want to ask yourself prior to deciding upon what difficulty to challenge yourself with.
Key Ships to consider For E-3 any ship that hails from Italy, Germany, America, or Britain are consider useful for this map. As they will all have useful bonuses which are further listed below. Do note that if you complete the debuff requirements you the affects will stack even further. Below is a list of some ships you should consider preserving for E-3 if possible:
In addition to the historical here some important non-historical can also be considered for this map which include:
LBAS Key Notes LBAS:
Ship Bonuses
Part 1: Destroying Anchorage Water Demon (Vacation Mode) The most straightforward phase of the map. A Fast Surface Task Force with 2FBB and no CVs (CVL allowed, but no more than 3 BBs+CVLs) or Single Fleet (no speed and Ship Restrictions) will give you the fastest route to the boss. The enemy Main Fleet features PT-Imp Packs. While their ending torps don't pose a threat in this configuration, they are considerable tanks.
Part 2: Unlocking the Second Boss Node (U) Once you defeat the Anchorage Water Demon (Vacation Mode) you will be able to unlock additional paths to other locations across the maps. During this part, your fleet will need to complete several major steps in order to gain access to Anzio (Node U). Below are the requirements that will be needed based upon difficulty. Casual - B+ Rank Node E and O Each difficulty is scale accordingly so plan your method of how you will complete each step as the recommended requirements will be listed below.
Once all conditions are complete, you will unlock the path to Anzio (Node U) along with some additional paths which will be will be vital for the next step of the operation. Part 3: Unlocking the Second Start Point In this phase, you will be using your fleet to complete various objective around the map, this will including some difficult challenges as well as encountering the boss node and getting some victories against the boss itself. Below is a summary of the requirements you will need to complete. Casual - AS Node N and A Rank Node U Depending on the difficulty you may need to complete additional steps, below are the steps that will summarize what is needed for each requirement.
Once completed, all ships will get an additional 1.07x damage modifer against the boss fleet in Node U and the 2nd starting point will be unlocked for your Carrier Task Force or Transport Combined Fleet to use. Part 4: Chip Anzio Hime until LD Range With all the before mentioned phases complete, you will now need to deplete Anzio Princess's HP bar down till the final phase of the battle, until then no additional steps are required.
Once you are able to deplete her to the final phase of battle you can then choose to continue on with the final debuff phase(which is recommended if you can complete all the requirements. Or attempt to try to defeat the boss without the debuff which is possible, but quite difficult. Part 5: Debuffing the Boss (once HP bar is within LD range ONLY) For the final debuff phase, several changes will occure across the map which will make the last part of the challenge difficult in some difficulties which will include:
Preparations will need to be made to make sure you can complete all of the requirements needed for this phase if you choose to do it. Below is a listing of all the requirements you will need to complete based on difficulty. Casual - AS Node D and A+ Rank Node J {Single or TCF only) It should be noted that because hard mode has such a high AS requirement, you will need to carefully check to see if you can successfully achive it. Do note that:
From here on, we will cover the steps required for each step needed to complete each phase this part.
It should be noted that unlike previous event, this segment does not have any ding notification to tell you if you completed the objective. You will only get an indication where all requirements are completed. When all conditions are met, you should get a voice line to play when the result screen come up. You should here the Anzio Princess shout, "Tch, What the hell?!" indicating you completed the entire debuff requirement. Once you successfully completed this step the following debuff changes will be added:
Part 6: Delivering the final kill against Anzio Princess
