Strategy
The map has 3 boss gauges.

Any untagged ship you send to this map receives the Shima Fleet (purple) tag. This map only allows you to use either the Shima (Purple) or the Kurita (Green) shiplock tags. However, you are not allowed to sortie fleets that has those 2 locks combined on Medium and Hard, meaning that you will be forming 2 strike forces that consists solely of either Purple or Green tags.

Reaching nodes I, K and the second boss requires starting from the second starting point, which requires the fleet to all have a Kurita shiplock tag (Green). Ships without any tags will not work, so make sure to give them a Green tag in either E-2 or E-4 if you want to use them to start at the second starting point.

Using Shima and Kurita Fleets

 * Both fleets use a Strike Force Formation (7 ships).
 * Sink the first boss with Shima Fleet (purple tag).
 * To unlock the second boss, Kurita Fleet (green tag) need to reach nodes I and K. Depending on difficulty, they also must win those battles with A or S rank.
 * Kurita Fleet (green tag) sinks the second boss. The third boss is unlocked.
 * To sink the third and final boss, you must switch back to Shima Fleet (purple tag) again.
