We were happy to give the Shimushu-class an excuse to go sub hunting! LBAS was used mainly to re-rank planes we'll need later, but it was helpful on node H in particular.Node C / Node G
Basic fleet, with a little extra AA. Ishigaki didn't need to have ASW equipment, but no need to change it... |  |

Sorry, Iku...❤️ |
Node E / Node H
The Shimushu-class takes care of the submarines, and Nagara (+ Shimushu herself) takes care of the AA! Node H was a little challenging with this fleet, but adding LBAS helped immensely (four bombers, all to H). |  |

Node O
I decided to use Destroyer Division 6 here. They have bonuses and are lower levels than many other ships. Katsuragi was chosen due to the 3-size plane slot: seemed like a good use for the Arctic Gear & Deck Personnel. Sendai has a bonus, and Jean Bart just seemed like a useful battleship to take. Node M was a bit troublesome, but having the two smoke generator kais proved to be essential, along with vanguard formation on every pre-boss node. Still, M did cause several retreats, two of which were on Last Dance! The boss itself wasn't too challenging; Jean Bart, Sendai, and especially DesDiv6 really cleaned up during night battle! Akatsuki got the last hit, but Inazuma and Hibiki also got assists. Kudos all around! |  |
