If you've done well in the previous mission, you'll have access to the deadly ''I-400''. This submarine, unfortunately, remains largely useless as you won't encounter a very large sea presence here. Start by having your fleet advance toward the easternmost base. You'll be greeted by a single Atlanta-class cruiser and its escort. Don't let it get close to your carrier or your troop transports. Fortunately, you have a battleship plus multiple escorts. These warships can single-handedly win pretty much the entire battle for you.

However, it is capable of launching 3 M6A Seiran floatplanes, each equipped with a 250kg bomb. This will effectively give you an extra squad of dive bombers to work with. Send these bombers to deal with the easternmost command post as it is poorly defended. Start by having your fleet advance toward the easternmost base.

Sail toward the closest base, and close into capture range. Unlike in Port Moresby, you'll have to neutralize the base before capturing it - the bases in this mission can dish out a lot of hurt, at the very least enough to sink one of your transport ships if left unattended. Have your carrier, meanwhile, launch a large group of torpedo bombers. Your fleet is safe for now.
