This is likely the first time you'll be in command of a battleship if you haven't played Multiplayer yet. The first thing you'll notice is how marvelous her guns are - while the ''Houston'' from the campaign had quite a few guns, this ship seems to be practically ''made'' of guns. You'll also notice how you seem next to invincible, especially from destroyers. Most importantly, you'll learn that battleships, despite all this, remain far from invincible, and are merely the ''second'' strongest unit in the game. | This is likely the first time you'll be in command of a battleship if you haven't played Multiplayer yet.

The ''Fusō'' is caught in the Java Sea, and your objective its to simply get the hell out. Unfortunately, this is made complicated by a seemingly endless stream of American and British ships. It seems endless, but it isn't. As a battleship, you can't outrun the enemy, so chances are you'll end up sinking all enemy vessels while you're getting to the | The ''Fusō'' is caught in the Java Sea, and your objective its to simply get the hell out.

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. | ||

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.

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''. | ||
