Each difficulty is scale accordingly so plan your method of how you will complete each step as the recommended requirements will be listed below.
*A rank Node O Twice
<tabber>
**'''Route:''' A-F-G-M-N-O
|-|Node E=
*Use the Carrier Task Force fleet for this unlock. The main routing requirement is having less or equal 4 (F)BB(V)+CV(B/L)
* Fleet: '''Single''' -2-3(F)BB(V), 2 CV, 1-2 DD/AV
* Route: '''A-B-D-E'''
**Usage of Nelson is recommended as her Touch will make node E easier
*LBAS: 2 or 3 Land Base Groups, 1 Fighter, 3 bombers on 2 bases to Node E.
*Node E is filled with lots of various installations in the main group and a smaller fleet in escort.
**High Firepower Daihatsu-Capable DDs with DA set-up and/or AVs with M4A1 DD anti-installation set-up can 'nuke' and kill the majority of the installations.
* While not entirely necessary, bringing in-route support may be needed if you're aiming to S rank on hard. Lower difficulties will not require much effort as you can complete th requirement with an A rank.
|-|Node O=
* Fleet: Option 1: '''Surface Task Force''' 3 (F)BB(V), 1 CV, 2 CA(V)/DD/AV + 1 CL, 1-2 CA, 1-2 CLT, 2-3 DD '''(Recommended)'''
** Option 2: '''Carrier Task Force''' 2 (F)BB(V), 2 CV, 2CA(V)/DD/AV + 1 CL, 1-2 CA, 1-2 CLT, 2-3 DD
*Route: A-F-G-M-N-O
*LBAS: 1 Fighter, 3 bombers on 2 bases to Node E. 4 ASW Bombers on 1 base to Node F if possible.
* The main routing requirement is having less or equal 4 (F)BB(V)+CV(B/L)
**Alternatively, it is possible to use a Surface Task Force which will help you dealing with the preboss-nodes. You might consider bringing [[Ise|Ise Kai 2]] to augment your Fighterpower

*The node is easy enough for you to S rank without a problem once you get there, especially considering that BB Hime takes extra damage from LBAA

**On Casual You only need a B rank to successfully complete the requirement
*Obtain 2 AS land base defense
|-|Land Base Defense=
**Set-Up All 3 of your land base with Interceptors, Land Base Fighters, and any good fighter to get AS
*This requirement is '''Hard Mode Only'''
**Sortie a submarine fleet to the map to save resources until the air raids trigger
**Set-Up All 3 of your land base with Interceptors, Land Base Fighters, and any good fighter to get AS, this include the rocket interceptors that you may have obtained from ranking or from this event.
**Be aware that you need Rocket Interceptors against High-Altitude Air Raids ((Insert Table with Rocket Interceptor Multipliers here))
**Sortie am=n all submarine fleet to the map to save resources until the air raids trigger
**Be aware that you need Rocket Interceptors against High-Altitude Air Raids
*** Without any interceptors you will only get 50% of your air power against high altitude bombers.
*** With one interceptor you have a 80% air power vs. high altitude bombers
*** With two interceptor you have a 110% air power vs. high altitude bombers
*** With three interceptor you have a 120% air power vs. high altitude bombers
**For hard mode, it's '''highly recommended''' to max out your rocket interceptors to help make getting more easier.
