In addition to the increase in combat ability, you can use the "Single-Ship Evacuation" ability on heavily damaged escort ships when this is equipped on the flagship of a torpedo squadron.

==Mechanics==

When the flagship of the fleet is equipped with a [[Elite Torpedo Squadron Command Facility]] (FCF), you are able to evacuate <span style="color:red;">'''Heavily Damaged (大破)'''</span> ships mid-sortie. This can help increase your pass rate to the boss node. The option to evacuate "退避" or not evacuate "退避せず" will appear after the results screen but before the continue/abandon sortie option. You will be shown the damaged ship to be evacuated. '''You are not able to pick which damaged ship gets evacuated.''' The selection is based off '''fleet order''' and the ships higher in the fleet order are selected.

<onlyinclude>The [[Elite Torpedo Squadron Command Facility]] (ETSCF or just TCF sometimes), is used to [[Evacuation|evacuate]] {{color|red|'''Heavily Damaged (大破)'''}} ships mid-sortie instead of retreating.

*It works for some '''"light"''' Single Fleets and [[Striking Force Fleet]]s.

*This can help increase your pass rate to the boss node.

Requirements for using FCF are:

;Requirements for using ETSCF are

* FCF equipped on the flagship.

* {{IconText|{{CommandFacility}}|ETSCF}} equipped on the flagship,

* At least one heavily damaged ship.

* At least one ship is heavily damaged,

** The damaged ship must not be the flagship of the fleet.

** Cannot be the flagship.

 

* The fleet is either a Single Fleet or a [[Striking Force Fleet]], composed of either:

* The Elite Torpedo Squadron Command Facility has unique composition requirements enabling its use:

** '''CL''' flagship, 1-6 '''DD''', 0-3 '''CLT''', ''no other ship types''

** '''CL''' flagship, 1-6 '''DD''', 0-3 '''CLT''', ''no other ship types''

** '''DD''' flagship, 0-6 '''DD''', 0-3 '''CLT''', ''no '''CL''' '', ''no other ship types''

** '''DD''' flagship, 0-6 '''DD''', 0-3 '''CLT''', ''no '''CL''' '', ''no other ship types''

* It is important to remember that '''only one''' ship can be evacuated per battle. If you have more than one heavily damaged ship, you should retreat.

* Evacuated ships will '''lose a large amount of morale and lose all their remaining fuel and ammo'''.

* '''Only one''' ship can be evacuated per battle.  

* Missing ships will not count towards ships lost for determining victory conditions.

** If more than one ship are heavily damaged, retreat should be considered instead.

* It is possible to fail LoS checks or routing requirements if you evacuate too many key ships.

* Evacuated ships will:

** '''Lose all of their [[morale]], all their remaining fuel and ammo'''.

** No longer count for determining victory conditions, being neither alive nor lost.

*** It is possible to fail some requirements by no longer having said ships or equipment, or by no longer having enough LoS.

The ETSCF can be put in the [[Reinforcement Expansion|RE]] of most IJN CL(T) as well as some IJN DD, making it an attractive asset when using lighter fleets, such as on [[3-5]].</onlyinclude>
