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.
This map consists of two unlocking phases and one boss HP phase. For all phases, Fighter Power, (O)ASW, and/or CV(L)s are useful.
The following things could be considered for this map:
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 strong/historical DD/ CL/ DE and equipment to bring into this map for OASW?
# Do you have enough fighters/ interceptors to get AS across all conditions on the map?

# Do you have access to spare/historical CV(L)s while keeping your better CV(L/B)s in reserve for later maps?

'''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 the 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 to the next phase of the operation. Both single fleet as well as combined fleet are viable here. However, note that it is '''entirely possible''' to clear this map using only a '''single fleet''' (albeit with slightly greater difficulty in some places), so you may want to conserve shiplocks for later maps.
For the first step you will need to complete the following steps:

'''Get AS on node B (Hard Only)'''
'''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.
