==Introduction==
The Winter 2015 Event, 【Counter-attack! Assault on Truk Anchorage】 will begin February 6th, ending two weeks later on February 23th.

It is based around Operation Hailstone

==Patch Notes==

#* [[Katori]]
#* [[Amagi]]
#* [[Asashimo]]
#* [[U-511]]
# '''New Remodels'''
# '''[[Enemy Vessel|New Enemy Vessels]]'''

#*[[Battleship Water Demon]] ('''戦艦水鬼)'''
# '''[[Equipment|New Equipment]]'''

#* [[WG42 (Wurfgerät 42)]]
#* [[Prototype FaT type-95 Oxygen Torpedo Kai|Prototype FaT Type 95 Oxygen Torpedo Kai]]
# '''Voice and other Updates'''

==Mechanics==
===Participation requirements===
* Must have a 75% sortie win ratio
* Must have 5 empty ship slots for new ships
* Must have 20 free equipment slots

===Special Mechanics===
#[[Combined Fleet]] (E-3 and E-5)
#Choosable difficulty
#* Different difficulties give different medals, equipment and materials when clearing the maps.
#** Ships rewards (U-511, Katori and Amagi) will appear regardless of the difficulty.
#* Difficulties ''probably'' affect drop rates, but ships still drop in any difficulty.
#* When the difficulty is changed, the boss's health bar will be reset.
#* Once the map is cleared (boss HP bar is depleted and killed), '''you CANNOT go back and change the difficulty'''.
# This event has 3 ranks: easy (丙), normal (乙), hard (甲).
# There is no ship locking for this event.
# '''The boss HP gauges does not regenerate over time''' in any map in any difficulty.
# Support Expeditions are available. Expedition 141 Focuses on Support for Normal Nodes, Whereas Expedition 142 Focuses Support on Boss Nodes. The Expeditions DO REQUIRE that you have 2 DDs in your fleet. Do take note that their expeditions will end early after you finish one sortie, so try to make the most use out of them.
