Enemy fleet spotted!! Lots of cruisers!!

Nooo problem

The torpedo squadron primarily operates at night.

In a night raid, the enemy's ability to counterattack is greatly impaired, so any difference in firepower is not a problem.

After spotting the enemy, the ships accelerate rapidly to close the distance.

The flagship illuminates the target with a searchlight.

The flagship, a light cruiser, acts as a decoy, making use of its superior speed and manuevering skills to avoid the enemy's attacks.

Meanwhile, the destroyers make their individual approaches to close the distance while firing their guns.

The pressure from this formation sows chaos among the enemy.

In the midst of this, the destroyers approach even closer.

Finally, when the timing is just right, the torpedoes are launched.

Sendai Torpedo Squadron, engaging!

Destroyer Divisions 11 and 19, full speed ahead until we get into range

It's a battleship! Repeat, battleship!!

Focus on the illuminated target

Night battles are so awesome -nodesu

Waah... so cool...

Don't expend your torpedoes on the escorts!!

We're still too far away, when I draw the enemies away, then's the time to charge! Charge!

Attack!

Closer

Closer

Closer!

Eat my torpedooooeeeess!!!

And that's night battle for you!! You want to do it too, don't you?

Well, that's how it feels to fight in the Torpedo Squadron

So, how is it actually?

Well, with the advent of radar and the emphasis on carrier warfare, our chances to setup this kind of favourable situation decreased greatly
