Winter 2017 Event is speculated to be based off Ulithi Atoll

Winter 2017 Event is highly speculated to be based on Ulithi Atoll , majorly due to the fact Zuiun (631 Air Group), the December 2016 Ranking Reward was revealed to be the Equipment based on the Winter 2017 Event.

NOTE: The Devs has stated on DMM Forums that Winter 2017 Event is NOT based off Panama Canal.

I-401 (Shioi)
In late June 1945, the Japanese aircraft-launching super submarines I-400 and I-401 were diverted from their planned attack on the Panama Canal to attack Ulithi Atoll. However, their mission was interrupted by the destruction of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, followed by the Japanese surrender.

Was stationed at Ultihi Atoll

Other Notes

 * Another interesting point is that Ultihi Atoll was able to hold 700 USN Vessels (...)

Prepare your WG42s and Type 3 Shells Admirals! (Unsure if Daihatsu tanks will be needed as well)
 * It's possible that the Boss of the Event will be an Installation-type.
