If you do not wipe out the enemy fleet during the day, after the first stage of the battle you will have the option to make a '''night attack (夜戦突入)''' . The damage of both your own ships and those of the enemy is greatly increased during a night attack, especially for ships that utilize torpedoes. Select '''stop pursuit (追撃せず) '''if you wish to end the battle.

After the battle, the battle result will be shown. You will receive a [[Combat#Victory_Conditions|battle rank]] largely dependent on how badly you damaged the enemy fleet (the highest rank, SS 完全勝利 requires you to completely destroy all enemies while taking no damage.) If the battle is victory (B-rank and above) there may be a chance to drop a new ship girl at this time.
