Your reinforcements will arrive in a few minutes, as shown at the top of your screen. When they do arrive, however, you'll find that they have sufficient firepower to put an end to American dominance in this region. Your new fleet consists of a Fuso-class, a Kongo-class, escorted by a large squad of destroyers. In addition you hang onto all units from the previous campaign, including the Kuma-class cruisers and your own Mogami.

Upgrading to the Yamato-class battleship helps significantly here in this battle. Send the battleships head-on into your opponents. Have your battleship act as a distraction for your multitude of cruisers - have the cruisers close to torpedo range and torpedo the living daylights out of the Americans as quickly as possible. For subsequent playthroughs, have the Shimakaze-class on your side - its extra torpedoes never goes awry on this map.
Upgrading to the Yamato-class battleship helps significantly here in this battle. It is recommended to arrange your cruisers and destroyers to a side that'll engage the enemy, then send the broadside to your opponents.

For subsequent playthroughs, have the Shimakaze-class on your side - its extra torpedoes never goes awry on this map.


The enemy fleet is composed of two Fletchers, a Cleveland, and two South Dakota-class battleships - the ''USS Massachusetts'' and the ''USS Indiana''. An extremely viable tactic for the map is to simply use the sheer number of destroyers, combined with your two battleships as a distraction, to charge into torpedo range. The Americans will quickly be overwhelmed with potential targets, and will lose their battleships.
