==Map Overview==
E1 is a single/striking fleet, single-phase map consisting of route unlocks & one boss phase.
* 2 [[LBAS]] are available on this map:
** Only 1 can be set on '''Sortie''', the other being limited to '''Defense''',
* This map uses 2 locks:
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 1.png|40px]] '''104th Squadron''', Starting point 1 (reused in E-3)
** [[File:{{ROOTPAGENAME}} Tag 2.png|40px]] '''1st Fleet''', Starting point 2 (reused in E-2)

The use of {{IconText|{{Aviation Personnel}}|AGDP}} {{EquipmentLink|Arctic Gear & Deck Personnel|text=AGDP}} on CV(B/L), {{Class|Ise|Kai Ni}}, [[Akitsu Maru Kai]], [[Kumano Maru]], and [[Yamashio Maru]], is required to sortie these ships on the map.

* Node {{MapRoute|C2|green}} is a resource node.
* {{Balloon}} '''[[Barrage Balloon]]s''' can be deployed on node {{MapRoute|O|red}}

==Gimmick 1 - Unlock==

*The route will not consume the material when the node is reached, even if the submarine is taiha.
*The 1 SS Fleet will route to 1 extra node at {{MapRoute|B1|red}} before going to {{MapRoute|B2|pink}}
*The sub does not have to be fast. A slow sub is sufficient to route to C2
Else:
*Bringing [[AACI]] is advised to reach it.

'''{{IconText|{{Aviation Personnel}}|AGDP}} is required for all carriers.

{{MapRoute|M|red}} includes the new [[Destroyer Ra-Class]] α, which possesses Opening Torpedoes and has good combat strength.
*{{Smoke}} Smokes are highly recommended for {{MapRoute|M|red}} along with Vanguard formation to avoid taking damage.
Boss fleet consists of the new [[Transport Ship Wa-Class B (Landing) Elite]], which has high AA strength and is armed with a {{Balloon}} '''[[Barrage Balloon]]''', to counter damage from carriers and LBAS.
* Be advised that if a land base is sent to {{MapRoute|O|red}}, planes and rank loss will be significantly higher.
**It is therefore recommended to bring several {{Balloon}} [[Barrage Balloon]]s in order to both mitigate these and buff allied aircraft damage.
* Using Boss support is recommended.
* The Wa-class, which has high HP but lacks strong armor, is possible to defeat using double attacks.

==Trivia==
* Starting point 1 is in the area of Aomori.
* The airfield is the Misawa Air Base, which is known in Japan and among USAF units assigned there as the "Tip of the Spear as it is the Northernmost air base from Tokyo. This is also the same airbase where the practice drills for the attack on Pearl Harbor took place.
* Starting point 2 is off the coast of the Iwate Prefecture.
* Node C2 is on the area between Shiranuka and Kushiro.
* The Boss node O is between the island of Kunashiri and the coast of Shibetsu. Kunashiri is a probable staging point for the Northern invasion of Japan and the main battle area if the war had dragged on as the Soviets took over Kunashiri and several Kurile Islands before the official surrender of Japan.
