**More than 2 CL (not CT or CLT) will route you to F (from C).
**Having more than 4 ships will send you to D (from B); there is a path from D to I but it apparently requires 4 or fewer ships.

*1 CVL, 3 DD/CL capable of [[Combat#Anti-Sub_Warfare|Pre-emptive ASW attack]] is recommended for experienced players since the DD and CL will be able to perform two rounds of ASW attacks without the need for a BBV (useful if you want to save your resources).

**Do not use more than 2 CL (CT and CLT don't count as CLs) in your composition if you are attempting the above set-up, or you ''will'' get routed to F.
