The combined fleet system was first introduced in the [[Summer 2014 Event|Summer Event of 2014]] specially for the Battle of Midway. It is made using two fleets such that during a sortie, a total of 12 ships are involved as opposed to the usual 6. The combined fleet system has again been used in the [[Fall 2014 Event|Autumn Event of 2014]], but with revised mechanics. This page will keep up to date with the most relevant mechanics.

Combined fleets (連合艦隊 ''rengou kantai'') (when available, i.e. events only currently) are formed by viewing the second fleet, and then dragging the "/2" icon over the "/1" icon. The 1st fleet is the main fleet and, in general, comprises the heavy ships, while the second fleet is a lighter "escort" fleet, and comprises the lighter ships.
