In addition to this, the following ships that make up the '''Pearl Harbor Team''' will be considered valuable for this operation:
 +
 +
'''CV:''' [[Akagi]], [[Kaga]], [[Souryuu]], [[Hiryuu]], [[Shoukaku]], [[Zuikaku]]<br>
 +
'''BB:''' [[Kirishima]], [[Hiei]]<br>
 +
'''CA(V):''' [[Tone]], [[Chikuma]]<br>
 +
'''CL:''' [[Abukuma]]
 +
'''DD:''' [[Kagerou]], [[Shiranui]], [[Arare]], [[Hamakaze]], [[Urakaze]], [[Isokaze]], [[Tanikaze]]
 +
 +
Keep in mind that for the operation you will be mainly using ther '''Kidou Butai''' to complete various tasks and for chipping away at the boss. So keep some historical carriers for this section.
 +
 +
The Landing Occupation Force will be mainly contributing to unlocking and delivering the final blow to the boss once all conditions are unlocked. Be sure to bring your historical battleships, Heavy (Aviation) Cruisers, and various Destroyers for this section.
 +
 +
'''Steps to getting the Landing Forces into position for the final strike'''
 +
 +
E-4 will have you fleet go through a various number of steps you will need to complete which depending on the difficulty you will do will require additional steps as you climb up the difficulty ladder. There will include the following:
 +
 +
* '''Defeat the [[Aircraft Carrier Water Demon]]'s Fleet (S Rank) at node J'''
 +
* '''Defeat the [[Seaplane Tender Water Princess]]'s Fleet (S Rank) at node S'''
 +
* '''Defeat the enemy Transport Combined Fleet (S rank) in Node T (Easy +)'''
 +
* '''Get AS at node D (Normal +)'''
 +
* '''Get AS at node K (Normal +)'''
 +
* '''Get AS at Land Base Air Raid (Normal +)'''
 +
* '''Get Central Princess's HP down to 33% (40% on Casual)'''
 +
 +
Completing all these requirements will open up a new starting point for your Surface Task Force (Landing Operation Forces) to commence with the final strike. Below will be a step by step regarding the procedures you'll need to complete.
 +
 +
'''Defeat the [[Aircraft Carrier Water Demon]]'s Fleet (S Rank) at node J'''
 +
 +
'''Recommended Fleet'''
 +
 +
3 CV, 2 CA, 1 FBB + 1 CL, 2 CA, 0-1 CLT, 2-3 DD
 +
 +
'''Recommended LBAS'''
 +
 +
'''Node J'''<bR>
 +
'''LBAS 1-2'''<br>
 +
2 Fighters, 2 Land Base Bombers (Distance of 4 Needed)
 +
 +
'''Path: A-D-G-J'''
 +
 +
Relatively simple fight against a carrier fleet. The [[Aircraft Carrier Water Demon]] herself can be a simple enemy to take out, but if pair with carriers in higher difficulties, she can be much harder to fight against. Bring a strong carrier fleet along with a good LBAS can help make clearing this requirement easy.
 +
 +
'''Defeat the enemy Transport Combined Fleet (S rank) in Node T (Easy +)'''
 +
 +
'''Recommended Fleet'''
 +
 +
3 CV, 1 AV, 1 CA, 1 (F)BB + 1 CL, 2 CA, 0-1 CLT, 2-3 DD ('''Main Fleet must be slow and have an AV''')
 +
 +
'''Recommended LBAS'''
 +
 +
'''Defenses again Node J'''<br>
 +
'''LBAS 1-2'''<br>
 +
2 Fighters, 2 Land Base Bombers (Distance of 4 Needed)
 +
 +
'''Defending Against Subs (C and I)'''<br>
 +
'''LBAS 1-2'''<br>
 +
4 ASW Bombers/ Toukai (Distance of 3 and 4 Required)
 +
 +
'''Bombing Node T'''<br>
 +
'''LBAS 1-2'''<br>
 +
3-4 Land Base bomber, 0-1 Range extender plane (Distance of 8 Required)
 +
 +
'''Path: A-C/D-G-I-J-L-Q-T'''
 +
 +
Unlike the prior task, this one will take your fleet along a long and winding path with many encounters between surface fleets, air attacks, submarines and the [[Aircraft Carrier Water Demon]] before you are able to make your way to Node T.
 +
 +
Expect to be using your 2 Land Bases you will be using to attack to help provide some defenses and attack measures against the nodes you'll need to go through. If subs prove to be a problem, bring your Toukai, if the [[Aircraft Carrier Water Demon]] is a problem consider using the previous method to make the task of passing that node easier. If you feel you fleet can safely get to node T, then organize a fleet for that area to help clear out most of the enemies to help secure an S rank more easily. Keep in mind that because this path will have you face many difficult challenges you may want to bring in-route support to help you along the way and if needed, please consider bringing a [[Fleet Command Facility]] to improve your chances that some of your combined fleet members will make it to Node T.
 +
 +
If you bring sizeable LoS in your fleet and can reach node T, most of the enemies there are CLs, DDs, Transports and a Light Carrier. All which can be beaten down if you have a strong enough fleet for the job.
 +
 +
'''Defeat the [[Seaplane Tender Water Princess]]'s Fleet (S Rank) at node S'''
 +
 +
'''Recommended Fleet'''
 +
 +
'''2 FBB, 3 CA(V), 1 CV + 1 CL, 2 CA, 0-1 CLT, 2-3 DD'''
 +
 +
'''Recommended LBAS'''
 +
 +
'''Node K'''<br>
 +
'''LBAS 1'''<br>
 +
4 Fighters (Distance of 4 Required)
 +
 +
'''Node S'''<br>
 +
'''LBAS 2'''<br>
 +
2 Fighters, 2 Land Base Bombers (Distance of 7 Needed)
 +
 +
'''Path: B-F-H-K-N-S'''
 +
 +
Most of this will have your fleet pitted against some surface fleet and defending against air nodes. In addition, most surface fleets will have submarines. So a few important things need to be considered while taking this route:
 +
 +
* Be sure your CV is a fighter mule as you will need to air cover to protect yourself.
 +
* Bring an ASW capable DD (Pre-ASW capable DDs preffered) or 2 to fight the subs in some of the nodes.
 +
* Bring [[AACI]] to help with additional air defenses.
