This will be good up until the final kill which if you're playing on normal or higher, you may need to switch your LBAS around a bit for final kill.

The [[Batavia Princess]] will come in a combined fleet with some Heavy Cruisers, Light Cruisers and Destroyers mixed within the fleet. Hard mode will especially challenge players by having a [[Ne-class Heavy Cruiser|Ne-class Heavy Cruiser Kai]] as part of the main fleet. Using the combination of your LBAS full of bombers and historical ships in your fleet you can wipe out most of the enemy ships without issue leaving only the Princess (and Ne-class Kai on Hard) to be the only main threats in the fleet. Since there is no air power to content with you can take out with your fleet under AS+ with the exception of the final kill on normal and hard. (Please refer to Step 4 of the guide for further explanation). Once you get the [[Batavia Princess]] down to final kill, you will need to make a decision on if you'll complete the debuff process, or proceed to continue attacking the boss until you defeat her as her armor and the threat of her fleet will increase for the final kill. If your playing on Easy or lower, it's quite possible to complete the fight without doing the debuff.
