* [[Supply Depot Princess C Vacation Mode|Supply Depot C]] boss at this node is different from other [[Supply Depot Princess|Supply Depots]] and can't be nuked the same way. TCI with [[Landing Craft]] is recommended to take her down effectively.
+
Both the {{EnemyLink|Supply Depot Princess C Vacation Mode}} (SDH-C-vac) boss and the {{EnemyLink|Anchorage Water Demon Vacation Mode}} are "Installation-like warships" (see ''[[Combat/Anti-Installation#Installation-like warships|here]]'').
 +
*They mostly behave like regular warships combat-wise, being notably not torpedo-immune anymore
 +
*They take additional damage from anti-installation equipment, see [[Installation|here]],
 +
*Unlike their regular counterparts they do not take any "pre-cap" damage from anti-installation equipment
 +
**Therefore they cannot be nuked the same way
 +
**Using TCI including a {{LandingCraft}}[[Landing Craft]] '''/''' {{Amphibious Tank}}[[Tank]] is recommended to take them down effectively, see below:
 +
 
 +
===How to defeat the "Supply Depot Princess C Vacation Mode"===
 +
The {{EnemyLink|Supply Depot Princess C Vacation Mode}} are classified as [[Combat/Anti-Installation#Installation-like warships|Installation-like warships]] and not regular [[Installation]]s
 +
*She can now be hit by any regular surface-type attacks, such as torpedo-based ones.
 +
*Using anti-installation equipment like Landing Craft will inflict additional post-cap damage.
 +
*During the day battle phase it is difficult to damage her with Landing Crafts only.
 +
*During the night battle phase using Landing Crafts on ships equipped with a TCI or a DA is very effective.
 +
**For these ships it is important to have high firepower {{Firepower}} and high torpedo-power {{Torpedo}} for better night attack effectiveness.
 +
 
 +
*Torpedo Cut-Ins {{TorpedoWeapon}}{{TorpedoWeapon}}{{LandingCraft}}/{{TorpedoWeapon}}{{TorpedoWeapon}}{{Amphibious Tank}} can deal 1000 to 1500 damage to her.
 +
*Double Attacks of a 4-slot ships can deal 1000 to 2000 damage to her.
 +
**[[Mogami Kai Ni Toku]] with {{RedGunMedium}}{{LandingCraft}}{{LandingCraft}}{{Amphibious Tank}}+{{GreenGunDP}} can deal 3000 to 4000 damage to her with her DA.
 +
 
 +
'''See ''[[Combat/Anti-Installation#Installation-like warships|here]]'' for the equipment bonus table.'''
 +
 
 +
On Hard the first step is to reduce the HP of SDH-C-vac to near 4000 until the day-closing torpedo phase. After that she can be sunk by those special night attacks.
