...In that case, it's true that this is quite efficient.

Thinking about it, this is the first time destroyers will go on front line missions together isn't it?

And to test out the waters this time, I'm going to designate Kongou—the current Secretary Ship of the week—to be the commanding officer of the Scouting Fleet. AKA "punching-bag-we-don't-expect-you-to-win fleet". Like what happened here and here.

The Kis Island Sea Countermeasure Meeting

...Well then, this time let us begin the long-suspended Kis Island Countermeasure Meeting for real.

For starters, two fleets worth of destroyer war potential were gathered. Along with that, expedition duties shall be entirely suspended throughout the execution of this operation.

With 12 Destroyers, organize a total of 2 torpedo squadrons. This is a strategy to eliminate the loss of time and damage to the main fleet by splitting them up into scouting and main units.
