「艦これ」春イベント2016：期間限定海域では、その後段作戦を攻略突破することで、Iowa級戦艦ネームシップ「Iowa」が艦隊に参加する予定です.

Iowa is reward for clearing Final Operation Part. Devs insisted hat you can clear FO without EO. My guess is FO won't be too hard so newer TTK can finish the event too and bypass the hard stuffs in EO.

Players were making a fuss that E-4 (the actual last map of event) gave better rewards then E-6 (EO-2). So this is the way Devs are dealing with it, by putting the hardstuffs in the middle as optional maps. i.e. E1 - E2 - E3 - E6 - E7 - E4 - E5, where E6 & E7 is optional, and giving the whole naming scheme a new window dressing.

I bet EO will be hard, but probably rewards cool items and drop some rare ships.
