*STF is not recommended due to the air strength of the enemy composition, but for easier difficulties it may be viable. 2 BB, 3 CA, 1 CV, / 1 CL, 2 CLT, 3DD.

** Reports suggest there may be branching involving a historic fleet composition which requires you to have 7 ships (?) (see below)

** Reports suggest there may be branching involving a historic fleet composition which requires you to have 6 or more of the below ships:

** The following ships are expected to work in terms of taking the shortest possible route:

***Heavy Cruisers: [[Atago]], [[Takao]], [[Chokai]], [[Maya]], [[Myoukou]], [[Haguro]]

****Destroyer may need to be paired with their respective destroyers.

****Destroyer may need to be included in pairs.

**E node may be active branching, but this is not confirmed for all fleets yet.

**E node is active branching.
