==Map Overview==
E3 is a three-phase map using [[Striking Force Fleet]]s (7 ship fleet) and Combined Fleets.
*This map utilizes three locks:
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 4.png]] '''Carrier Task Force''' Tag is applied to Carrier Task Forces sortied to this map and will start at point 2.
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 5.png]] '''Area Escort Force''' Tag is applied to Striking Force Fleet or Surface Task Forces sortied to this map and will start at point 1 and point 3 respectively.
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 1.png]] '''R-Area Defense Unit''' is a recycled lock from E1.
***R-Area Defense Unit ships can be mixed with the Area Escort Force Fleet Tag for E3 Phase 3
* 2 [[LBAS]] are available for sortie, the third base is only to be used in defense
** High Altitude Air-Raids will occur on Medium and Hard difficulty.
==Phase 0.5: Scout the Enemy Mobile Task Force!==
There are a total of 2 requirements needed to locate the fleet guarding Murcadha Bay. The requirements are the same across all difficulties.
* {{MapRoute|L|pink}} AS x2 & {{MapRoute|E|pink}} AS x1
* It is possible to reach both nodes using a fleet in a single sortie.

|-|Heavy Fleet=
* SF: '''1CVL, 2CA(V), 1CL, 3DD, (FAST)''' [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_5.png]]
* Route: {{MapRoute |1|grey|A|red|B|pink|D|blue|E|pink|H|blue|J|red|K|blue|L|pink}}
* LBAS: Fightersweep {{MapRoute|L|pink}} (Range 6) and {{MapRoute|E|pink}} (Range 3)
** Fighter muling CVL a to reach AS for the required nodes is recommended.
** The heavier fleet takes longer route than the light one.
|-|Light Fleet=
* SF: '''3CA(V), 1CL, 3DD (FAST)''' [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_5.png]]
* Route: {{MapRoute |1|grey|A|red|D|blue|E|pink|H|blue|J|red|K|blue|L|pink}}
* LBAS: Fightersweep {{MapRoute|L|pink}} (Range 6) and {{MapRoute|E|pink}} (Range 3)
** {{MapRoute|J|red}} contains a light torpedo squadron.
** A lighter fleet which forgoes the use of CVL. CAV should be [[SPF|Seaplane Fighter]] muled.
</tabber>
* [[AACI]] is highly recommended.
==Phase 1: Intercept the Fleet Guarding Murcadha Bay==
* CTF: '''0-2FBB, 2CV(B), 0-1CVL, 0-2CA(V), 2CL + 1CL, 0-2CA(V), 0-2CLT, 2-4DD''' ('''FAST''') [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_4.png]]
* Route: {{MapRoute|2|grey|M|red|N|red|O|pink|P|red|Q|red}}
* LBAS: Range 5 to {{MapRoute|Q|red}}, 74/167 AP/AS
** There is an LoS check at {{MapRoute|P|red}}.
** Using one '''strong''' [[AACI]] ship such as the [[:Category:Akizuki Class|''Akizuki''-class]], [[:Category:Fletcher Class|''Fletcher''-class]] DD is highly recommended.
** Having 1-2 [[OASW]] ships to increase the passing rate to the boss is recommended.

* LBAS: {{MapRoute|U|red}} (Range 8, 44/88 AD/AP on 甲), {{MapRoute|L|pink}} (Range 6)
** There is an LoS Check at {{MapRoute|T|green}} (Cn3):
*** Casu = 26.0 / Easy = ?? / Med = 40.0 / Hard = 48.0
** Using Vanguard Formation for all nodes except for air nodes and Boss Node is recommended.
** Having at least 1 strong [[AACI]] for the air nodes on the route is highly recommended.

* Boss support is recommended if only 1 LBAS gets sent to the boss node.
* It is possible to use the {{CommandFacility}} {{Equipment/Link|Striking Force Fleet Command Facility}}.
** Be warned about the drop in LoS which could prevent routing to the boss.
