Attaining AS here is completely impractical (504 FP) if not impossible, as it would require the sacrifice of [[Nachi]] and [[Ashigara]], removing bombers from [[LBAS]] for fighters, and more.

* A submarine may be utilized to divert fire, however, as a fast fleet is a requirement, a boiler+turbine combination is mandatory

** The SS may be retreated without consequence. As sparkling a submarine is extremely cheap and submarines benefit greatly proportionately from the extra evasion when sparkled, it is highly recommended that you sparkle the SSV.

The final composition of the fleet would therefore look along the lines of: SSV 2FBB 2CA 3DD

The boss node of E6 Phase 1 contains AV hime, due to the historical bonuses and the presence of the friend fleet, finishing this phase should be relatively simple
The boss node of E6 Phase 1 contains '''[[Seaplane Tender Princess]]''', due to the historical bonuses and the presence of the friend fleet, finishing this phase should be relatively simple.
'''Suggested [[LBAS]]'''
*'''Node H'''
*'''1 LBAS'''
*'''4 ASW Bomber Planes - Distance 3 needed'''
'''Node H''' can present some challenges on Normal and Hard difficulty with the [[Submarine So-Class]] that appear on this node. Only consider using this up until the last kill if So-class are a problem. Otherwise, you can use Vanguard Formation to try to bypass this node.
'''Node O'''
*'''1 LBAS'''
*'''2 Fighter/ 2 Bombers - Distance 4 needed'''
Node O often present the greatest challenge on this map due to the strong air power the '''[[Light Carrier Nu-Class|Light Carrier Nu-Class/Kai]]''' carry. If needed, you can use an [[LBAS]] to help neutralize and make the fight there simpler, otherwise, use an SS to help bypass most of the trouble this node to save your LBAS for more important uses.
'''Node U'''
*'''2-3 LBAS'''
*'''LBAS 1: 2 Fighter/ 2 Bombers - Distance 6 needed'''
*'''LBAS 2-3: 2 Fighter/ 2 Bombers - Distance 6 needed'''
Since the boss node is simple, bringing this set up with 3 [[LBAS]] should be more than enough to take out most of the enemy units leaving only the [[Seaplane Tender Princess]], and possibly a few basic enemy units left making for an easy victory on this node.
