Introduction

The Spring 2017 Event titled "Sortie! Fifth Fleet To the North East!"is planned to begin around May 2nd, 2017. Details regarding the event note that the event will be taking place in the Northern Pacific Area (But not in the AL area), will consist of 5 maps in which 3 of them will take place as a main stage operation, while the remaining 2 maps will be an extra Operation.

The Theme of the Operation revealed in KanColle Style Vol.4 and Famitsu's April 27th Magazine notes that it will center around Defensive Operation that will take place after "That battle" in which the remaining Type 97 Torpedo Bombers and Hayabusa fought thier final battle.

Evidence suggests the operation may focus on the Battle of Shumshu as this was where the remaining Type 97 Torpedo Bombers and Hayabusa had thier final battle against invading the Russian forces.

Using the details from the event location and information provided from the sources, the main location of the event is set to take place at the Kurile Islands around near Shumshu. In which the 5th Fleet was sent and stationed there around 1943- 1944.

In addition, it has been noted the some of the ships that will appear in this event will have named tied to locations around the area of the Operation.

Mechanics

Participation requirements

  • Must have a 75% sortie win ratio.
  • Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships.
  • Must have 20 free equipment slots.

Special Mechanics

  1. The difficulty system first used in Spring 2015 Event returns: you can choose between Operation A (, Hard), Operation B (, Medium) or Operation C (, Easy).
    • Choosing A or B requires certain HQ Level (HQ Lv 35 for B / 80 for A in Spring 2015 Event).
    • An important note to all Admirals intending to clear the event on Hard difficulty - further (new) conditions now apply:
      • When switching difficulty from any other difficulty to Hard, the map's debuff mechanism (where applicable) will be reset.
        • Switching between any other difficulties will not reset the debuff mechanism.
  2. The debuff system of Summer 2015 Event's final map, where certain nodes had to be killed to reduce boss armor, returns. The mechanic is featured in the final map, but is believed to lower the armor of the boss escorts instead of the boss. (For more details, consult E-3)
  3. Additionally, there is a quest-based debuff that targets the E-3 boss' armor. (As above, see E-3)
  4. Operation A (, Hard) and Operation B (, Medium) will require you to have a minimum of two fleets ready due to fleet locking (see above for details)
