'''Preparation'''
'''The event is likely to have several shiplocks (E-1 to E-4 already contain 4 separate locks), please plan your locks carefully.'''
For this operation, you will be organizing a fleet to fight off against several carrier task forces and submarines along the way, however you will ultimately be fighting off against a submarine boss where you will need to use a strong ASW team to take her out.
The following things could be considered for this map:
# Do you have enough strong DD/ CL/ DE and equipment to bring into this map to do OASW?
# Do you have enough fighters/ interceptors to get AS across all conditions on the map?
* If you said yes to both, you are pretty much set for the event.
* If you said no to 1 you will need to construct some ASW equipment or consider training your ships, or consider lowering your difficulty.
* If you said no to 2 you may need to consider preparing a strong set of fighter planes or dropping difficulty.
Below is a list of all the historical ships that have relevance to the connection of I-47.
'''Ship Bonuses (Tentative)'''
''Known Bonus - Unknown connection''
* [[Ise]], [[Hyuuga]], [[Isuzu]], [[Yamakaze]], [[Satsuki]], [[Asashimo]]
** 1.2x bonus (All Nodes)
''Shima Fleet Bonus''
* [[Nachi]], [[Ashigara]], [[Aoba]], [[Kinu]], [[Abukuma]], [[Kasumi]], [[Hatsuharu]], [[Shiranui]], [[Ushio]]
** 1.25x bonus (All Nodes)
''Others Bonus''
* All DEs
** 1.25x
''Debuff bonus''
* All ships
** 1.08x extra once debuff steps are complete.
'''Some ships also have bonuses in later maps!''' [[Yamakaze]] is probably a safe choice to lock here. [[Isuzu]] can also be considered, but may be relevant to later campaigns in EO. Be aware things are subject to change once more information is available.
'''Phase 1: Eliminating enemy fleet around the Goto Island area (part 1)
In this phase you will need to complete a series of steps around the map to successfully open up a path way to the next phase of the operation. This will require you to organize a fleet which you can choose between using a single or combined fleet to complete the task.
Keep in mind however that it is '''entirely possible''' to clear this map using only a '''single fleet'''. So weigh your options carefully as you play through this map.
For the first step you will need to complete the following steps:
# Get AS on node B (Hard Only)
# Get S rank on Node N
# Get S rank on Node L
# Get AS on a Land Base Air Raid (Twice for Hard / Once for Normal)
'''Get AS on node B (Hard Only)'''
This path will have your fleet go through a series of air attacks and submarines. Overall you will need to set up a strong air defense and achieve strong air power. Using a combination of your LBAS along with a fighter mule of carriers should be enough to clear this task.
<tabber>
|-|Single Fleet Method=
* '''Route: D-C-A-B'''
* '''Composition: 1-2 CV(L), 0-1 BBV, 1 CL, 2-3 DD'''
* '''LBAS: 1 Base, 2 Range to node. (Both to node)'''
** '''LBAS Recommendation: 1 Land Base, 2 Fighters, 2 Bombers'''
* Node C and B are air attacks bring a fighter mule team and an AACI ship to make the trip easier.
* Node A has subs, use ASW ships if necessary.
* An Airpower of 453 or higher is needed for AS on this node.
** Send youe land base directly to B to ensure your chances you AS this node.
|-| Combined Fleet Comp=
* '''Route: D-C-A-B'''
* '''Composition: CTF: 2CV(L), 0-4 XX + 1CL 2 DD 0-3XX '''
* '''LBAS: 1 Base, 2 Range to node. (Both to node)'''
** '''LBAS Recommendation: 1 Land Base, 1 Fighters'''
* Node C and B are air attacks bring a fighter mule team and an AACI ship to make the trip easier.
* Node A has subs, use ASW ships if necessary.
* An Airpower of 453 or higher is needed for AS on this node.
** Send youe land base directly to B to ensure your chances you AS this node.
* Given the path you take, it's entirely optional to not bring a full fleet for this segment.

</tabber>
As a reminder, '''Single Fleet is the preferred method''' for taking care of this requirement, once you achive AS a ding sound should occur.
'''S Rank on Nodes L and N'''
This path will have your fleet go through a series of air attacks and submarines. Overall you will need a strong fleet that can tackle the combined fleet to make it easier to clear. Once again, '''this is preferred to be done with a single fleet''' if possible.
Below are the methods needed for each nodes:
'''Node L'''
<tabber>
|-|Single Fleet Method=
* '''Route: D-E-F-G-H-I-L'''
* '''Composition: 1-2 CV(L), 0-1 BBV, 1 CL, 2-3 DD'''
* '''LBAS: 1-2 Bases, 6 Range to node. (Both to node)'''
** '''LBAS Recommendation: 1-2 Land Base, 2 Fighters, 2 Bombers'''
* Node H is an air attack bring decent air power and an AACI ship to make the trip easier.
* Node E has subs, bringing ASW isn't entirely necessary but may be needed.
* Node I will be a small surface fleet, consider vanguard formation.
* Node L will be a combined fleet consisting of 2 light carriers, 1 Heavy Cruiser, some Light Cruisers and a bunch of Destroyers.
|-| Combined Fleet Comp=
* '''Route: D-E-F-G-H-I-L'''
* '''Composition: CTF: 2CV(L), 1 BBV, 3 XX + 1CL 2 DD 3XX '''
* '''LBAS: 1-2 Bases, 6 Range to node. (Both to node)'''
** '''LBAS Recommendation: 1-2 Land Base, 2 Fighters, 2 Bombers'''
* Node H is an air attack bring decent air power and an AACI ship to make the trip easier.
* Node E has subs, bringing ASW may be needed.
* Node I will be a small surface fleet, you may face issues with this node, but can bring an FCF to help pass the node should others take damage.
* Node L will be a combined fleet consisting of 2 light carriers, 1 Heavy Cruiser, some Light Cruisers and a bunch of Destroyers.

Overall the node is not difficult to clear and once done a ding sound will occur at your home port menu.
'''Node N'''
<tabber>
|-|Single Fleet Method=
* '''Route: D-E-F-G-K-N'''
* '''Composition: 1-2 CV(L), 1 CL, 3 DD''' (Fast Fleet)
* '''LBAS: 1-2 Bases, 6 Range to node. (Both to node)'''
** '''LBAS Recommendation: 1-2 Land Base, 2 Fighters, 2 Bombers'''
* Node K is an air attack, bring decent air power and an AACI ship to make the trip easier.
* Node E has subs, bringing ASW isn't entirely necessary but may be needed.
* Node N will be a combined fleet consisting of 2 light carriers, 1 Heavy Cruiser, some Light Cruisers and a bunch of Destroyers.
|-| Combined Fleet Comp=

** '''LBAS Recommendation: 1-2 Land Base, 2 Fighters, 2 Bombers'''
* Node K is an air attack bring decent air power and an AACI ship to make the trip easier.
* Node E has subs, bringing ASW isn't entirely necessary but may be needed.
* Node L will be a combined fleet consisting of 2 light carriers, 1 Heavy Cruiser, some Light Cruisers and a bunch of Destroyers.

Node is the same as Node L so once cleared as sound should ding as home port.
'''Get AS on a Land Base Air Raid (Twice for Hard / Once for Normal)'''
This step can be done entirely while your fleet is completing the other objectives across the maps. And if you have enough rocket interceptors it can be possible to clear this using a single LBAS. If for some reason you forget to do this. Bring a Single SS and run the map until the air raid commences.
* '''LBAS: 1-2 Bases, (Set on Air Defense)'''
** '''LBAS Recommendation: 1-2 Land Base, 4 Fighters/ Interceptors.'''
Be aware that even though the game’s display does not show high altitude bombers on higher difficulties, it should be noted that the carrier planes are are treated as if they were high altitude bombers, so if you have interceptors take advantage of using them.
Once you meet the requirements, a ding sound will occur at the homeport menu.
Once all conditions are met, a new series of nodes will open.
'''Phase 2: Eliminating enemy fleet around the Goto Island area (part 2)
In this phase you will need to complete a series of steps around the map to successfully open up a path way to the boss of the operation. This will require you to organize a fleet which you can choose between using a single or combined fleet to complete the task.
Keep in mind however that it is '''entirely possible''' to clear this map using only a '''single fleet'''. So weigh your options carefully as you play through this map.
For the first step you will need to complete the following steps:
# Get S rank on Node R
# Get S rank on Node S (Normal +)
'''Get S rank on Node R'''
This path will have your fleet go through a series of air attacks and submarines. Overall you will need a strong fleet that can tackle the combined fleet to make it easier to clear. Once again, '''this is preferred to be done with a single fleet''' if possible.
Below are the methods needed for each nodes:
'''Node R'''
<tabber>
|-|Single Fleet Method=
* '''Route: D-C-A-B-P-R'''
* '''Composition: 2 CV(L), 1 BBV, 1 CL, 2-3 DD'''
* '''LBAS: Base #1, 2 Range to node. (Place on nodes C and A)'''
** '''LBAS Recommendation: Land Base #1, 4 Fighters'''
* '''LBAS: Base #2, 3 Range to node. (Both on node P)'''
** '''LBAS Recommendation: Land Base #2, 2 Fighters, 2 Bombers '''
* Node C and B are air attack bring decent air power and an AACI ship to make the trip easier.
* Node A has subs, bringing ASW isn't entirely necessary but may be needed.
* Node P will be a small surface fleet, considered vanguard formation.
* Node R will be a combined fleet consisting of Standard and Light carriers carriers, 1 Heavy Cruiser, some Light Cruisers and a bunch of Destroyers. Node can be handled in a similar way like the previous node requirements
|-| Combined Fleet Comp=

** '''LBAS Recommendation: Land Base #2, 2 Fighters, 2 Bombers '''
* Node C and B are air attack bring decent air power and an AACI ship to make the trip easier.
* Node A has subs, bringing ASW isn't entirely necessary but may be needed.
* Node P will be a small surface fleet, you may need to bring an FCF to help pull out heavily damage escort ships if they take damage since escorts will attack first.
* Node R will be a combined fleet consisting of Standard and Light carriers carriers, 1 Heavy Cruiser, some Light Cruisers and a bunch of Destroyers. Node can be handled in a similar way like the previous node requirements

Overall the node is not difficult to clear and once done a ding sound will occur at your home port menu.
'''Get S rank on Node S (Normal +)'''
This path will have your fleet go through a series of air attacks and submarines. You will ultimately have to fight a mixed fleet consisting of subs, destroyers and transport. '''A single fleet is required in this path.'''
* '''Route: D-E-F-G-H-S'''
* '''Composition: 2 CV(L), 1 BBV, 1 CL, 2-3 DD'''
* '''LBAS: Base 1-2, 2 Range to node. (All on Node S)'''
** '''LBAS Recommendation: Land Base 1-2, 4 Bombers'''
* Node H are air attack bring decent air power and an AACI ship to make the trip easier.
* Node E has subs, bringing ASW is required.
* Node S is a mixed fleet, you will need a fleet that can take out subs with ASW while also taking out the surface ships.
As long as you bring DDs that can OASW and a fleet to attempt to fight any surviving surface ships following the LBAS air raid, completing this process should be simple.
Once done a ding sound will occur at your home port menu. When all conditions are met, the path to the boss is now open.
'''Phase 3: Sink the Gotou Islands Seabed Princess'''
In this phase of the operation you will need to organize a strong ASW single fleet that will be needed to take out the [[Gotou Islands Seabed Princess]]. You will not need air power, but you will need a suitable amount of LoS of 18 Cn1 (LoS might be lower if DEs are used [TBC]) to reach the boss. The fights will have you go up a new path where you'll have to pass through some surface ships. Depending on how you approach it you will need to go through T and possibly V to reach the boss depending on the comp. But depending on how difficult it is to take out the boss, you may need to depend on bringing a BBV to give you the edge you need to clear it.
<tabber>
|-| Light Fleet Method=
* '''Route: D-E-F-U-T-O'''
* '''Composition: 1-2CV(L), 1 CL, 3-4 DD/DE'''
* '''LBAS: Base 1-2, 3 Range to boss. (All on Boss node)'''
** '''LBAS Recommendation: 1-2 Land Base , 2 ASW Bomber 2 Bombers'''
* Node T is a light surface fleet you'll want to evade to prevent damage, use vanguard formation.
* Node O is a mix of subs and surface ships. You main objective will be to take out the [[Gotou Islands Seabed Princess]] so prioritize taking her out with ASW and depend on your LBAS to finish the surface ships.
|-|Heavy Fleet Method=
* '''Route: D-E-F-U-T-O'''
* '''Composition: 1BBV, 1 CL, 4 DD/DE'''
* '''LBAS: Base 1-2, 3 Range to boss. (All on Boss node)'''
** '''LBAS Recommendation: 1-2 Land Base , 2 ASW Bomber 2 Bombers'''
* Node T is a light surface fleet you'll want to evade to prevent damage, use vanguard formation.
* Node V is a stronger mixed fleet you'll want to evade to prevent damage, use vanguard formation.
* Node O is a mix of subs and surface ships. Your main objective will be to take out the [[Gotou Islands Seabed Princess]] so prioritize taking her out with ASW and depend on your LBAS to finish the surface ships.
*Surviving the trip this route might be harder, but will allow a 2nd turn in ASW attacks

The [[Gotou Islands Seabed Princess]] herself is a simple boss that can be beaten with a good set of ASW planes (or Toukai) and a strong OASW team of ships, if worse comes to worse and you cannot beat her, you can consider using the heavier ASW comp to get an extra turn in. However if the boss proves to still be difficult, you can resort to the debuff strategy listed below.
'''Phase 4: Debuff the Gotou Islands Seabed Princess (Optional)'''
If for some reason you are unable to defeat the [[Gotou Islands Seabed Princess]] you can consider completing the debuff phase which can be done on all difficulties. The steps required to complete this are as followed:
# Get the [[Gotou Islands Seabed Princess]] to Last Dance
# Get AS at your Land Base Twice
# Get S rank on Node S Twice
For these steps you can review the process from Phase 1 and Phase 2 that provide clear these steps. Once these conditions are complete, the princess will be debuffed and all ships will get a 1.08x modifier against her.
From there, proceed back to the previous phase and finish off the boss.
Once the [[Gotou Islands Seabed Princess]] is defeated the operation is considered complete.
