Holy crap. And here I thought there's no way they could possibly fit in more than 6 ships. Interviewer mentioned that as well.
 * KanColle will have a special mechanic in the later part of the Fall 2017 Event where you must sortie out with the 3rd Fleet using 7 SHIPS.

Tanaka has stated in the interview that they are implementing a special system specifically for the Later Part of the Event where you will be able to sortie out 7 Ships at once, using the 3rd Fleet.

His reason? "It's the First Victory Operation! It's the Battle of the Leyte Gulf! And it's the Sortie of the Nishimura Fleet!"

Sounds to me he is pulling another Fall 2015 Event E-5 bullshit where you require "Everyone" for the best results while anyone who can't meet the requirements will have to go through a longer route or something.
