'''Main Fleet: 4 CV(B) / 2 (F)BB'''
<br/>
'''Escort Fleet: 1 CL / 2 DD / 0-1 CLT / 1-2 CA / 0-1 CVL'''

*Bringing an [[LBAS]] of ASW bombing planes is recommended especially on higher difficulties to successfully complete the node's requirements.
*If you are unable to successfully defeat all the subs needed for the requirement you can still kill the submarines in night battle due to the combine fleet's mechanics.
'''Suggested [[LBAS]]'''
