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. | 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. 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. 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.

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. 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. | Have your torpedo bombers close in on a cove near the third base from the west to locate a beached battleship.
