Fubuki here. For the first map of "Counterattack! The Second Operation SN!", The Summer 2015 Event

"Preparation for the Second Operation SN!", we headed for the waters off Shortland. E-1 took place in the Shortland Islands, in the northwestern part of the Solomons.

Uh... why's it the "second"...?

The first event we ever took on, the year before last in autumn... The Fall 2013 event, covered in Chapters 14-16, also took place in the Solomons and covered the historical Operation SN around Ironbottom Sound.

I-Ironbottom Sound, huh...

With Tenryuu-san as flagship, the main operation fleet set sail.

We're headed for Shortland, my fleet!

They shall be beaten into submission!

Admiral, put due consideration into which shipgirls you're deploying for this operation...

As this is a large-scale operation with many stages, we'll need to deploy to several fronts simultaneosuly.

Chapter 92

Considering the operations to come, our fleet's combat strength may cut it close.

Thinking on what she said, I want to save as much strength as possible...

Finishing quickly and buying more time for later is important too...

We got in huge trouble during Operation AL/MI because I didn't have Kitakami and Ooi ready. The Summer 2014 Event Operation AL/MI was the first event to feature multiple fronts i.e. ship locking.

Once you're sent on one operation, you can't participate in the others...

I have to be especially careful about how I deploy my battleships, fleet carriers, and torpedo cruisers...

... but putting those worries aside...
