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. | Sail toward the closest base, and close into capture range.

Have your torpedo bombers close in on a cove near the third base from the west to locate a beached battleship. This battleship is one of your secondary objectives - rush it with torpedo bombers and, if necessary, the ''I-400'' to sink it rather quickly. Should you choose to use the ''I-400'', however, be wary of the shallow water in the cove. Since the battleship is immobilized, target it from stand-off range with torpedoes to sink it. | Have your torpedo bombers close in on a cove near the third base from the west to locate a beached battleship.

If you're using the ''I-400'' to sink the battleship, be prepared to engage in an underwater battle with the USS ''Spearfish''. The ''Spearfish'' doesn't seem to care much about her fellow underwater adversary, and often presents a nice, large target for your torpedoes. | ||
Next, have ''I-400'', your battleship, or your cruiser (or all the above) launch a seaplane and send them off toward the easternmost enemy base. As you approach, your superiors will spot dark objects in the water - | Next, have ''I-400'', your battleship, or your cruiser (or all the above) launch a seaplane and send them off toward the easternmost enemy base.

Once the ''South Dakota'' is down and one of the bases is yours, you'll get bombarded by Helldivers from the second and third bases. Return your torpedo bombers and put up a strong CAP and shoot down as many dive bombers as you can, pausing only to dogfight the enemy's own CAP of Corsairs when you close on the second enemy base. | Once the ''South Dakota'' is down and one of the bases is yours, you'll get bombarded by Helldivers from the second and third bases.

Repeat the tactics you've learned on the third base. | Once you've spotted the mines, sunk the battleship, and captured the enemy bases, you should be in a good position to win.

It appears to the north of the fourth and easternmost base, and to receive the gold medal you have to sink it. Fortunately, its escorts are light - it is escorted by the Northampton-class heavy cruiser USS ''Augusta'', and the USS ''Allen M. Sumner''. Neither of these ships, naturally, are a match for your battleship, so sail in and gun down everything. Neutralize the base while you're at it. | ||
With the last enemy base shelled down, all you have to do is bring your troop transports in and land their LCPs for the victory. | With the last enemy base shelled down, all you have to do is bring your troop transports in and land their LCPs for the victory. | ||
