The first thing you'll spot are three Clemson-class destroyers coming in from your left. You've already crossed the T with them, and their tiny pea-shooters of a gun can't even penetrate your armoured hull. Despite this, you'll find yourself possibly taking a lot of damage here. | The first thing you'll spot are three Clemson-class destroyers coming in from your left.

As with the Clemsons, a well-placed volley can annihilate the Fletchers, so fire away at them and be sure to adjust for your shots. | As with the Clemsons, a well-placed volley can annihilate the Fletchers, so fire away at them and be sure to adjust for your shots. | ||
A somewhat safer alternative (albeit much more time consuming) strategy is to run away from the short ranged destroyers (either at an angle or directly away from them) and thus maximize the amount of time your long range cannons can bombard the puny destroyers unopposed. Also, you’ll have less torpedos to dodge. However, remember the enemies will continue to spawn closer to you, so don’t go too away from the objective (in this mission the evac zone is west from your spawn) or else you might not be able to meet up with the Yamashiro before the tougher enemies appear… still, you’ll be a lot less banged up this way if you balance buying time and getting good salvos in. | |||

[[ | [[File:BSM NorthamptonAttack.png|right|thumb|Two Northamptons are your next adversary.]] | ||
That's right, the next opponent for you are Northampton-class heavy cruisers. These guys are bigger than Fletchers, making them easier to hit, but their shells are of big enough calibre to cause damage if you're not careful. As always, cross the T with them as soon as possible to reduce their firepower and enhance yours. You're going to need all the health you can get later, so sink these guys quickly. | That's right, the next opponent for you are Northampton-class heavy cruisers.

[[ | [[File:BSM Prince Of Wales.png|right|thumb|The final barrier stands! Take it down!]] | ||
The last three barriers are not two but three battleships - the ''New York'', the ''Repulse'', and the ultimate Allied battleship (prior to the Iowa Mission Pack), the ''Prince of Wales''. | The last three barriers are not two but three battleships - the ''New York'', the ''Repulse'', and the ultimate Allied battleship (prior to the Iowa Mission Pack), the ''Prince of Wales''. | ||

If you're lucky, the ''Yamashiro'' can shoot off the ''Prince of Wales'' primary fore cannon, disabling four guns in one stroke. If you can do this, you have a considerably higher chance of winning. The ''Prince of Wales'' is still a tough customer, and only good seamanship and unerring accuracy will defeat her. Once the ''Prince of Wales'' is under though, the mission is complete! | If you're lucky, the ''Yamashiro'' can shoot off the ''Prince of Wales'' primary fore cannon, disabling four guns in one stroke.
