When confronting the enemy with this formation, we're left with reduced firepower, putting us at a disadvantage.

Line Abreast

Hmm... now that you mention it...

There's been lots of times where we were at the brink of tears,

because we didn't deal enough damage.

There's another option:

"Double Line".

As a more balanced formation, it has better evasion and defense than Line Ahead while maintaining firepower.

If you manage to moderately damage enemy ships,

you can expect to limit their torpedo attacks.

Double Line

As for which is best... that's up to the Commander.

No matter how good your evasion is, in the end it's all up to chance.

And because it's just chance, don't get too worked up over it.

As long as we don't give up, the time will come when the odds will turn in our favor, dess!

Right, Kirishima!

Yes, oneesama!

Our training and repairs are all for the sake of that moment.

That's right!
