If all goes well, your fleet should eventually path to Node X where they will face a fleet over there consisting of a CL, 1 BB, 2 CA, 2 DDs. In higher difficulties, they will consist of Tsu-class, Ne-classes and Re-classes with the hardest difficulity featuring Elite and flagship variants. In addition to this, the fleet will be in Line ahead or Vanguard formation. While Line ahead will likely result in victory, a Vanguard formation will present a more difficult chance to score the B+ rank cause if the DDs survie, they can easily evade most damage resulting in wasted turns. And reducing your likely hood you'll score a B+ rank. However, once you score a victroy, this condition will be considered complete.

Depending on the fleet and path your take your will have to use go either a long path around if you avoid using an "Fast" AV/AO, but if you use a fleet with a "Fast" AV/AO which will take you through a faster and more efficient path with less fights to deal with. The quickest way to use a fast AV would be to use a AV Chitose-class or [[Nisshin]], however, if you have plans to keep them for other uses in the event like farming E-4, you can considered using a slow AV and adding a turbine and boilier to make them fast.

Besides the usual submarine nodes and air nodes, the surface battles are mostly simlar to the ones you face along the Node V path. But with additional carriers mixed in. However Node X is mainly a copy of node V but with you bring in a carrier fleet, it may be more likely you'll be successful as clearing it out. Which in this requirement, you'll need to eliminate all the ships in node X. If you brin an LBAS and in-route support, this shouldn't be too difficult to achive.

Process should be straight forward as you will simply need to go a few nodes. If necessary the STF fleet route to E is probably the quickest way to trigger the Air Raid. With enough Fighters/ interceptors you can easily get AS to complete the requirements.

You fleet will need to be well suited for combat and will need to have good LoS equipment as well as a large amount of surface Radars (?/?/5/6) as you will need them to bypass node U which is an Ambush node that has a powerful fleet in wait to eliminate you if you fail to meet the requirements. In addition to this, you can consider bringing in one pre-ASW capable ship if nessary (prefferably [[Urakaze|Urakaze D Kai]] or [[Tanikaze|D Kai]] to deal with sub if you wish but because the boss will present a tough challenge, so if possible bring a Toukai in your LBAS is a suitable alternartive so you fleet can remain combat effiecent.

Bringing in a Big 7 Member that can do a special attack such as [[Nagato]], [[Mutsu]], and [[Nelson]] are all good choices for this map depending on your approach on this map and who you decide to bring. You can choose to go brute force by also bringing in [[Musashi]] if desired or get additional air support while maintaining combat by using [[Ise|Ise Kai Ni]] while also using a CV such as [[Akagi]] or an American Carrier like [[Intrepid]] or [[Saratoga]]. And finaly a CAV will ne nessary to help mule in additional air power. The escort should consist of mostly historcials ships from either the Pearl Harbor Team such as [[Abukuma]] and [[Kasumi]] and/or Americna ships like [[Johnston]], [[Samuel B. Roberts]], and [[Fletcher]] which will all have high damage modifers which will basiclly allow for highly damaging torpedo cut in attacks. On lower difficulties such as easy bringing in more than one CLT is also an option to help out, but otherwise '''on harder difficulties, you should try to limit yourself to 1 CLT'''. If you choose to bring a FBB in the escort, make her into the desginated '''night battle equipment mule + Surface Radar wilder'''allowing her to carry the '''Night Scout, Searchlight, and Star shells''' as she will help carry the fleet into night battle to help the more important historical DDs deliver the killing blow.

This battle will have you be pitted against 2 Surface Battles and 2 Air Nodes. Note that while the air power for the air nodes of E, S, and later on X are quiet high, the requirement Node Z will be quite low. As such a sizeable able team of fighter planes and Seaplane fighters will be needed to compensate for the air power nodes. If you have most of the good high quality fighter planes you will need ultimately a total of 6 to create enough air power to overcome node X during the final phase of the map. Below is a short summary of the nodes you'll encounter along the way.

Other than bringing your BBs, you may consider using a CV as a fighter mule or partial fighter mule if you also bring a CAV that will haul Seaplane Fighters and if necessary, you can also use [[Ise|Ise Kai Ni]] to bring extra air power so you can in turn allow to free up some room for your CV to bring in a dive bomber or torpedo bomber and a [[Saiun]]. Overall however, it is important to obtain '''Air Superiority''' on this node so you'll have a decent chance of surviving this node with minimal damage. If you can successfully get '''Air Superiority''' on X you will very likely get '''Air Supremacy''' on the Boss node of Z.

Do note that on Hard, since Re-classes will launch per-emptive torpedoes someone in the escort fleet is '''almost certain to take damage''' be sure to have a means to deal with this whether it be bringing a [[Fleet Command Facility]] or [[Repair Team]] to counter the complications you'll face on this node.

All the set up choices are relatively good for helping deliver damage against the boss, but out of all of them, Setup 2 can be the most effective if you have most of the high tier land base bombers. As you can use the recons to boost the contact to allow for a better chance to deliver a higher amount of damage against more armored units like the Wo-class and Ne-class and Heavy Cruiser Princess while still effectiely taking out the smaller targets. Since the boss node only has a small amount of air power, 63 or more air power is enough to reach Air Denial with your first LBAS allowing for you to effecitvely attack the boss while you 2nd and 3rd LBAS can come in with slighlt weaker Air power to deliver a nearly simlar effective result.

Setup 1 can serve as an alternative to Setup 2 as it can provide the high AP needed in the first Land Base at the start allowing for all other Land Base bomber units (Land Base 2 and 3) to come in afterwards to deliver a simlar result to Steup 2.

Finally if you do own a Toukai, bringing it into the fight can help you wipe out the sub in the fleet, keep in mind though there is a 25% chance it'll fail to do this if it fails to targert the escort fleet.

In most cases outside of Hard, the battle should be manageable and winnable since the enemy fleets will be far weaker and will be less likely to tank in most of the damage. But to ensure you have a fighting chance, you should consider using AP shells on your BBs as well as use '''Cruising Formation 2'''  with [[Nagato|Nagato Kai Ni]]  and/or [[Mutsu|Mutsu Kai Ni]] as flag to launch thier broadside attack which can do highly damaging attacks even against more tankier princesses like the [[Battleship Princess Kai]] (assuming you have a good confrontation and good contact).[[Nelson]] with her Nelson Touch is also a good alternative to use as well.

While it is optional to use Friend Fleet, it is recommended you have the setting on and set on powerful to help produce a quick and effective kill against the boss fleet as one of the formations in the fleet consist on only historcials which you'll need to avoid using in your fleet consisting of [[Akagi]], [[Kaga]], [[Iowa]], [[Intrepid]], [[Fletcher]] and [[Isokaze]]. If you avoid using these members you will have a chance for this fleet to appear which can help wipe out most of the remaining princesses left alive during the night battle phase if all goes well during day battle.

From there any survivors can likely be picked off if you have historicals that can exceed the boss's armor and effectively kill her.

The final kill will feature more BBs and less CAs but will more or less be the same save for the armor buff the [[Pacific Abyssal Princess]] and[Battleship Princess Kai]]s will get. However if you can proc the same historical fleet and deliver an effecitve kill result on the day battle, killing the [[Pacific Abyssal Princess]] should be easy enough especially if you have a TCI DD like [[Samuel B. Roberts]] or [[Johnston]] and they happen to be alive enough to perform a Torpedo Cut in to deliver the killing blow.
