Speculation

Map and theme Speculation

Operation SN was a campaign in which Japan attempted to establish airfields in the southern Solomon Islands, including a seaplane base on Tulagi and an airfield on neighboring Guadalcanal.

On August 7 the Allies launched Operation Watchtower with the intent on capturing these airfields; the airfield on Guadalcanal quickly fell and was renamed Henderson Field.

The IJA was lax in their response at first, believing this to be only a reconnaissance in force; Admiral Yamato was not nearly as lax. He sent numerous naval forces to challenge the American's sea presence in the region, thus beginning a running siege that would last for five months, with the Americans owning the seas by day and the IJN ferrying in troops under the cover of darkness.

The event will likely emphasize fighting land installations and air raids. There is some possibility of Night Battles being emphasized due to the nature of many of the nocturnal encounters in the Guadalcanal campaign.

Ship Speculation

Based on the tweet given on 7/23/2015. One of the new ships we'll encounter is the Second Air Defense Destroyer who was sent to the Solomons right after launch. This suggests that the destroyer is Teruzuki, the Second Akizuki-Class Destroyer.

From interviews held in June 2015 Comtiq Magazine, Shoukaku and Zuikaku should be getting a Kai Ni this event.

Introduction
