E3 is a Combined fleet three-phase map consisting of three boss phases.
 +
* 2 [[LBAS]] are available to sortie on this map.
 +
** Unlike other maps, no LBAS air-raid will occur.
 +
 
 +
* This map uses 4 locks:
 +
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 4.png|40px]] '''Task Force''' (from E-2),
 +
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 5.png|40px]] '''6th Fleet''' (from E-2),
 +
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 6.png|40px]] '''3rd Fleet Advance Force''',
 +
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 7.png|40px]] '''Vanguard Fleet'''.
 +
 
 +
*'''[[Node|"Airstrike Supported Battle" nodes]]''' are present on {{MapRoute|E|darkorange|J|darkorange|L|darkorange|T|darkorange|X|darkorange}}
 +
*Node {{MapRoute|Z|Red}} is an "atoll node", where the new {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}}' opening can be deployed.

==Phase 0.5: Gimmick==

 +
 
 +
* It is recommended to bring a strong [[AACI]] to face the boss and on route air nodes.
 +
* 1 or 2 ship should be on [[OASW]] to better pass the 1st node.
 +
*The last preboss node, {{MapRoute|O|red}}, is a relatively tough node to pass through, and might require sending an [[LBAS]], or utilizing a node support expedition.
 +
* Boss Support Expedition will help with the kill on Last Dance.
 +
*Utilizing a [[Special Attack]] is recommended.

 +
 
 +
==Phase 3: Boss 3==
 +
The boss node is an "atoll node", meaning that it is possible to deploy the new {{Amphibious Tank}} {{Equipment/Link|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai|text=Ka-Tsu tanks|link=Ka-Tsu}}' opening.
 +
*The new [[Atoll Aircraft Carrier Anchorage Princess]] is not an "[[Installation]]".
 +
 
 +
* Striking Force: '''1 AS, 3-5 SS(V), 0-1 CA(V)/CL, 0-1 DD''' [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 5.png|40px]]
 +
* Route: {{MapRoute|4||V|blue|W|red|Y|red|Y2|red|Z|red}}
 +
* LBAS range: 10
 +
* AP/AS= 71/159 (Hard)
 +
* There is no LoS check.
 +
* The use of both boss and node support expedition is recommended to survive the pre-boss nodes and clear the boss escort fleet.
 +
** If node support is being utilized, make sure to set the fleet for Line Ahead and not Vanguard for support to kill off the enemy on the node.
 +
* 2 LBAS should be send on pre-bosses, and 2 on the boss.
 +
* The use of the {{Smoke}} [[Smoke]] is recommended for the pre-boss nodes.
 +
* Using the {{IconText|{{CommandFacility}}|SFFCF}} {{Equipment/Link|Striking Force Fleet Command Facility|text=SFFCF}} can be solution to increase the pass rate, but will make killing the boss way harder.
 +
* No ASW is needed in this phase.
 +
* This fleet can utilize the "Submarine Touch", a {{Submarine Touch}}
 +
 
 +
*One [[PT boat]] is present in the boss comp:
 +
{{Anti-PT Imp Setups}}
 +
 
 +
Using the Ka-Tsu tanks attacks is mandatory in higher difficulties:
 +
 
 +
{{:Ka-Tsu}}
 +
When using it, it is better to have pairs of Ka-Tsu on the historical ships, and normal [[Night Cut-in]]s for the other ones.
 +
 
 +
==Phase 3.5: Debuff==
 +
Once LD has been reached, the following steps have to be performed to debuff the boss
