**CV may or may not wish to equip a range {{range}} extander as it allows CVs to be ''long range'', and so act first after the Opening phases, like :

**You pretty much want to count on [[Opening Torpedo Salvo]] (Otorp) & cut-in attacks (at boss), so only use remodeled SS if you're using this composition.

**As SSVs have few slots, you may want to just give all your seaplanes to the same SSV. You want as many combat-capable submarines for this route.

**A trade-off is that any enemy ship still in light damage or better shape at the end of the shelling phase will have fewer targets to launch their torpedoes at, so the AS and its escorts have to tank all the preboss ships that can't perform ASW.
