A "Striking Force" with a flagship which is equipped with a new equipment named the "Striking Force Fleet Command Facility" (遊撃部隊 艦隊司令部) will give the player the ability to make use of the new "Single Ship Evacuation" (単艦退避) mechanic.

Introduction
The new "Single Ship Evacuation" mechanic which will become available for the "Striking Forces" will allow a single ship in the fleet to retreat from the battlefield if she goes Heavy Damage (Taiha) after a Battle.
 * It is possible for the damage on the Retreating Ship to become even worse during a "Single Ship Evacuation". (Please See the Last Paragraph for more info)
 * Unlike the Combined Fleet's Retreat Mechanic, it does not require an escort destroyer.

How to Obtain and Use
The New "Striking Force Fleet Command Facility" will be obtainable and useable via the old and through a new item "Battle Report" (戦闘詳報), which can be earned in the upcoming Fall Event. The "Fleet Command Facility" as well as the new "Battle Report" item will be obtainable on all difficulties, even on Easy and Medium mode.

Additional information
The following are important information you should pay attention to regarding the new "Striking Force Fleet Command Facility" and the "Single Ship Evacuation" Mechanic:


 * When the Striking Force Fleet Command Facility is carried by the striking force's flagship:
 * The evacuation does not require an escort destroyer.
 * The evacuation consumes the retreating ship's entire fuel & ammo reserves.
 * Only one ship may be retreated per battle.
 * The damage of the Retreating Ship may become worse during the evacuation. However she will NOT SINK.
