The second enemy battle group consists of five destroyers, the ''Mogami'', and the ''Nagara'', which is the Japanese flagship. This fleet poses a considerable threat, as the ''Mogami'' and the ''Nagara'' are superior to your two cruisers combined. Your primary advantages are your superior accuracy to the AI, and your own destroyers' torpedoes. Burst-fire your own artillery at the enemy destroyers' fuel tanks or ammo magazines to sink them quickly in order to close with the enemy cruisers and torpedo them. The Allen M. Sumner, with its additional cannons, can tip the odds in your favour against the enemy's Fubuki-class destroyers. Close with the cruisers and torpedo them, then finish them off with cannonade from your own cruisers. | The second enemy battle group consists of five destroyers, the ''Mogami'', and the ''Nagara'', which is the Japanese flagship.

Once the second enemy wave is destroyed, a third and final stage begins. A friendly fleet consisting of the USS ''Portland'' escorted by a pair of destroyers sails to your position from one of the map borders. Your superiors note, however, that the group is being tailed by the deadly battleship ''Hiei''.

A friendly fleet consisting of the USS ''Portland'' escorted by a pair of destroyers sails to your position from one of the map borders. Your superiors note, however, that the group is being tailed by the deadly battleship ''Hiei''. To accomplish the mission's secret objective, you must sink this ship within eight minutes. Considering it appears right behind your new fleet, the easiest way to sink the ''Hiei'' is to engage it with your reinforcements. Have the ''Portland'' draw fire while your destroyers close the distance and torpedo the ''Hiei'' repeatedly until it sinks. The rest of your fleet will likely arrive too late to assist, but they should still try. | ||
