==Map Overview==
 +
 +
E3 is a three-phase map using [[Striking Force Fleet]]s (7 ship fleet) and Combined Fleets.
 +
*This map utilizes three locks:
 +
** [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_4.png]] '''Carrier Task Force''' Tag is applied to Carrier Task Forces sortied to this map and will start at point 2.
 +
** [[File:Spring_2022_Event_Tag_5.png]] '''Area Escort Force''' Tag is applied to Striking Force Fleet or Surface Task Forces sortied to this map and will start at point 1 and point 3 respectively.
 +
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 1.png]] '''R-Area Defense Unit''' is a recycled lock from E1.
 +
***R-Area Defense Unit ships can be mixed with the Area Escort Force Fleet Tag for E3 Phase 3
 +
* 2 [[LBAS]] are available for sortie, the third base is only to be used in defense
 +
** High Altitude Air Raids will occur on Medium and Hard difficulty.
 +
 +
==Phase 0.5: Scout the Enemy Mobile Task Force!==
 +
There are a total of 2 requirements needed to locate the fleet guarding Murcadha Bay. The requirements are the same across all difficulties.
 +
* {{MapRoute|L|pink}} AS x2 & {{MapRoute|E|pink}} AS x1
 +
* It is possible to reach both nodes using a fleet in a single sortie.
