This is a guide to leveling your ship girls effectively through sorties. [[Experience and Rank|Experience (XP)]] increases the level of ships, which leads to increases in [[Tutorial: FAQ#Equipment.2C_Stats_and_Remodels|Evasion]], [[Line of Sight|LOS]], and [[Tutorial: FAQ#Equipment.2C_Stats_and_Remodels|ASW]] stats, as well as passive increases in accuracy. Leveling ships can also unlock [[Remodel|remodels]] at higher levels.

***To control which ship gets MVP, the remaining DDs could use the ({{Radar}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{SurfaceShipPersonnel}}) Cut-In to reduce their damage instead of a regular double attack if deemed necessary; this also has an evasion synergy bonus for better survivability

*'''Base-XP:''' 200-250
*'''Requirements:''' No more than 3 Destroyers
*'''Notes:'''
**This method is essentially identical to 4-5 with slightly stronger subs and more XP
**Taking more than 3 Destroyers will cause you to route to A instead. You can however take as many Destroyer Escorts as you like
**Put the Ship you want to level into Flagship Position, this method is suitable for all ship types
**Set up your remaining Ships for OASW attacks to clear out Submarines before their opening Torpedo Salvo
**If your Flagship is capable of ASW attacks as well, give it your strongest ASW synergy to ensure it achieves MVP more frequently
**A BB will enable a second shelling phase if you struggle to disable the Submarines before the Ending Torpedo Phase
**It is recommended to use DE for the escort ships. Their low consumption, repair times and OASW requirements make them prime candidates
**As this is a Submarine node, it only takes small amounts of fuel per sortie
**End the sortie after one Node
