I disagree vehemently that the most likely way to win at 2-4's boss with a solo submarine is by sinking the flagship. The enemy Flagship Ru-class has 99 armor which no unremodelled submarine will deal significant damage to without multiple crits. It's far more likely to win by taking one or no damage at the boss node and dealing enough damage to the enemy ships for the damage comparison to yield a B rank. Under the conditions of head-on engagement it is impossible to take more than scratch damage with a maximum armor submarine (except for Maruyu) from the enemy destroyers and cruisers in line ahead formation. If the player's submarine is at low enough hp (about 7) it becomes impossible to take damage from scratch at all. Add on a fairly good chance of dealing damage to one of the enemy's ASW ships in the opening volley (1/3 to 1/2), and it's not bad odds at all once at the boss node.
