Information from the official Twitter:
#Event Name "Recon planes, launching!"
#*High LOS will be the key to increase the chances of reaching the boss nodes.
#*To achieve a high value, use of seaplanes, recon aircraft and ships with high LOS is strongly recommended
#*A special animation plays showing your planes attempting to find the node when approaching. If there is a positive reaction from your fleet's leader, you will then proceed to fight the boss.
#Event lasts 2 weeks from April 23rd.
#*'''Boss health in this event does <u>not</u> regenerate so stay calm and don't rush. <u>Take it easy</u>.'''
#Requires at least '''75% sortie win ratio''' to participate.
#*At least '''5 free ship slots''' for new girls to join your fleet before sortie.
#*At least '''20 free equipment slots''' before sortie.
#4 new ships added: DD [[Amatsukaze]], DD [[Tanikaze]], repair ship [[Akashi]], and CL [[Sakawa]].
#*[[Amatsukaze]] is an E-3 Reward (Port Darwin Area).
#*[[Tanikaze]] can be obtained from drops (E2, E3, E4 boss nodes are confirmed to drop her).
#*[[Akashi]] is an E-2 Reward (Battle of Sunda Strait), she can repair ships mid sortie (down to moderate damage). A new item, Ship Repair Facility, allows her to repair 2 ships at the same time. The times where she is allowed to repair are limited, however, she will get more functionality in the future.
#*[[Sakawa]] is an E-5 reward.
#[[Tone]], [[Chikuma]] and [[Bismarck]] received a second remodel, with Tone-class being reclassified as CAVs. This can be unlocked by using a special Blueprint item, obtainable by trading Extra Operation and Event maps badges.
#New BGM added.
#New Recon Plane functionality:
#*Increased effectiveness in the aerial combat phase from successful scouting with carrier-based scouts and seaplane scouts
#**Effect depends on whether air superiority or air supremacy is obtained
#*Special bonus in shelling phase from seaplane scouts
#*Achieving Air Superiority / Air Supremacy allows ships with Recon Planes to do Double Attacks and Cut-Ins during Day Battle
#Reward for clearing event maps:
#*E-1: Medal, [[Reppuu Kai]], Contruction Fairy, Damecon.
#*E-2: Medal, [[Akashi]].
#*E-3: Medal x2, [[Amatsukaze]].
#*E-4: Medal x1, [[New High-pressure, High-temperature Steam Boiler]], Ship Repair Facility, Damecon
#*E-5: Medal x3, [[Sakawa]].

===E-1 - Southwest of Samewani Sea - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Java_Sea Battle of Samewani Sea]===
[[File:Spring-2014-E1-banner.png|frame|E-1]]
[[File:6-1.jpg|thumb|320px|E-1 Map]]
*100 exp
*Node B contains 1 flagship and 1 elite [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Submarine_Ka-Class Ka-class submarines]
*Rewards Furniture Fairy, Emergency Repair, Reppu Kai, and a Medal upon clear
*Killing the boss 6 times will empty its HP gauge. Not being able to kill it by the end of boss battle will still do some damage to the gauge.
*Boss is [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Heavy_Cruiser_Ri-Class#Kai CA Ri-Class flagship Kai]
{{clear}}

'''Branching rules'''
*A to B :Fleet with at least two standard carrier ([[Taihou]] included. Light carrier won't count). Fleet not meeting any rules goes random.
*A to C, and E to G :Fleet with at least two heavy cruiser (not aviation) and two ships carrying total of 4 [[Drum Canister|drums]] (E.g. first ship bring 3 drums, another ship bring 1 drum).
*[http://jetri.co/kancolle/sortie/6-1 CLT-CLT-CAV-BB-CV-CV] seems to be the best fleet composition so far.
*Recon aircraft are required to get to the boss node. Bomber seaplanes such as the Zuiun and Seiran are not considered recon planes.

'''Tips'''
*Use expedition 117 if you think you need more damage during sortie.
*Easy grinding setup : 2CA, 1CAV, 1DD, 2CLT (or 1CLT+1BB/CVL). Must bring total 3 [[Drum Canister|drums]] on 2 ships (e.g. 2 on DD, 1 on CAV) and a seaplane with AA to gain air superiority. There will be '''no LOS requirement for A C E G H route''' and only two battle on your way to boss - best of all, you won't encounter any enemy carrier at all and gain some steel in node G for your repairs.

====Branching rules====
*2 BB, 1 CLT, 1 CAV, 2 CV with BB and CAV equiped with Type 0 is really likely to reach boss node
*2 BB, 2 CV, 2 BBv with 300+ LOS and Type 0 will 85% getting to boss node (so far).

====Tips====
* Expedition 117 can be use for extra damage during sortie.
* If pre-boss night battle is too hard, bring in a submarine with <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">Emergency Repair + Turbine/Boiler, you must reach night battle before your SS sustains heavy damage (red hp). Do not set SS as flagship. Or you could use a searchlight.</span>
* Using line abreast in the night battle node ''may'' help to lower damage from enemy attacks. (even though formation in night battle does not show up on screen)

*Boss is [[Harbour Princess]]
{{clear}}

====Branching rules====
*Using 4 BB + 2 CV with 352+ LOS seems to give a 100% chance to reach the Boss node
*Using all fast ships only, and/or CVL will sometimes result in route C-F-I. There are no air battles here, but I node is a night battle. Surviving night battle routes you to Boss node.

====Tips====
*Using [[Type 3 Shell|Sanshiki]] gives you a damage bonus against the Boss.
*Use expedition 118 if you think you need more damage in the boss node.

===E-4 - Central Pacific Sea - Sweep Against Subs in the Frontline===
[[File:Spring-2014-E4-banner.png|frame|E-4]]
[[File:6-4.jpg|thumb|320px|E-4 Map]]
*Rewards [[New High-pressure, High-temperature Steam Boiler]], [[Repair Goddess]] , [[Ship Repair Facility]] and one Medal upon clear
*Node C has no battle.
*[[Imuya]], [[Goya]], and [[Hachi |Hachi]] drop on all nodes of this map.
*Boss is [[Submarine So-Class|Submarine So-Class Elite]]
{{clear}}

====Branching rules====
*From C to D: Fleet with 5 DD or 4DD + 1CL
*From C to E: Any other composition
*E to D or G is random

====Tips====
*Use double line formation for pre-boss node, and line abreast for the rest.
*If you're feeling lazy, equip your DDs with damage control.
*Recommended compositions:
**4 DD, 1 CL and 1 CV. Equip your CV with anti-air fighters and the rest of your fleet with ASW. The CV's role is to prevent enemy air superiority, and thus reduce damage taken in the shelling phase.
**DD BB DD DD DD CL. Equip BB with three main guns and a good surface radar. The BB's role is to damage enemy ships to reduce damage taken from them. Using a BBV instead for anti-sub may not be necessary since it gives a second shelling phase for the DDs/CL.

===E-5 - North Pacific Sea - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Wake_Island Capture Peacock Island Operation]===

*Rewards [[Sakawa]] and three Medals upon clear.
*Boss is [[ Isolated Island Demon]]
{{clear}}

====Branching rules====
*Starting point to A : Fleet contain 3 or more submarines.
*B → C : Fleet with fast ship only.
*B → D : Fleet with slow ship(s).
*From F or G to J (boss node) : With a certain LOS, otherwise, send you to dead end (H or I)
*From F to H or G to I : Low Fleet LoS or fleet contains submarine.

====Tips====
*Use at least one slow BB to avoid the fuel maelstrom at node C.
*4 BB and 2 CV. Fill your Carriers with [[Reppuu (Strong Gale)|Reppu]] (or better), put your best fighter in your carrier's largest slot, with this you can win air superiority in the boss node.
**3+ Fast BB sends you to south preboss node.
**3+ Slow BB (excluding BBV) sends you to south preboss node.
**Other compositions seem to be random between north and south.
*3 BB and 3 CV. Equip at least 6 Reppu and 1 Reppu Kai.
**In contrast to the previous composition, you have room to equip bombers that allow your carriers to attack.
**This composition gets an arguably easier preboss node (north) guaranteed as well.
**5 Reppu, 1 Reppu Kai, and a Type 62 Zero Fighter-bomber is also sufficient for air superiority at the boss (assuming the Reppu Kai is in Kaga's large slot), and provides slightly more firepower.
*Equipment for battleships : Two [[46cm Triple Gun Mount|46cm]], recon plane, [[Type 3 Shell]] (you will need type 3 to deal with the boss). Alternatively, you can add type 91 ammo or Type 32 radar instead of recon planes if you're not going for air superiority.
*Choose line ahead in boss node to deliver highest firepower.
*Both support expeditions are recommended to increase damage output at all nodes.
**2 DD 2 CVL is a cost-efficient fleet.
**2 DD 2 CV/CVL 2 BB gives maximum firepower.
*Some (real life) luck is required to sink the boss Isolated Island Demon, since her node also contains a Battleship Princess that is hard to sink.
