===4-5===

[[4-5]] has one of the cheapest comps to farm [[Maruyu]] and awards a large amount of ranking points relatively quickly. The main downside is the drop rate is reduced significantly when owning any copies of her.

Therefore, it's only recommended to farm [[Maruyu]] here '''with 0 owned copies''' in the base.

*Node {{MapRoute|T|red}} flagship is a soft-skin installation {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess|Harbour Princess II|text=Harbour Princess|link=installation}}, requiring equipment such as {{AA Shell}} [[AA Shell]]s and {{Landing Craft}}{{Amphibious Tank}} [[Landing Equipment]] to deal with her.

*2 DDs should be capable of carrying {{Landing Craft}}/{{Amphibious Tank}} '''and''' {{ArmorEquipment}} Armor Bulges to increase the pass rate. They should also be able to do decent [[OASW]] damage to deal with submarines. Therefore, the best setup for them should be '''a strong special DLC/Tank + {{Sonar}}Sonar + 2 Bulges''' (One bulge in RE).

**As of January 2025, the most effective special DLC/Tank that can deal with {{Enemy/Link|Harbour Princess|Harbour Princess II}} '''alone''' (Hitting the day cap of 220 base damage before armor) are as follows (From strongest to weakest):

***{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Panzer III Ausf. J}}

 

***{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Type 1 Gun Tank}}

***{{EquipmentLink|Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Panzer III (North African Specification)}}

*'''[[Special_Attacks/Nelson-class_Touch|Nelson-Touch]] + 4 [[Jet]]s variant''': [https://jervis.vercel.app/?p=p45XEKLdHSA]

***{{EquipmentLink|Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai}}

**If '''married, it's possible to perform [[OASW]] with only 1 sonar'''. If not married, it's recommended to '''prioritize {{Sonar}}Sonar + {{DepthCharge}}Depth Charge setup to enable it, removing one bulge''' to keep the passing rate high.

*The last DD should be the one doing AACI duty, preferably {{ShipLink|Hatsuzuki Kai Ni}} as she has an extra slot to bring along an extra [[WG42]] as well.

**If she is married and is a high enough level, she can also OASW with 1 sonar and help with the sub node.

*For the comp using {{Class|Nelson}}, it's best to utilize her [[touch]] at node {{MapRoute|H|red}}.

**As a result of using only one carrier filled with [[Jet]]s, AS/AS+ isn't possible, so it's best to settle with AP (approximately '''120-130''' air power).

*All comps listed above have some upsides and downsides mainly due to the usage of [[Jet]]s, so it's up to players to decide which comp is best for them:

 

**The comps with 3-4 [[Jet]]s generally '''has a higher passing rate''', which also helps reduce the chance of taking damage, and '''lower the Fuel, Ammo, and Bauxite usage''' in general. In exchange, there is a '''50% higher Steel cost compared to min LSC'''.

***This is generally not a problem for players who spam Tokyo Express [[Expedition]]s a lot. Furthermore, steel isn't used much over time anyway.

**On the other hand, the comp without [[Jet]]s are '''more efficient for all resource in the long run''' as you will spend less of them for the same rate of [[Maruyu]] as min LSC (assuming no owned copies of her when farming here, as having her copy would reduce her rate significantly). But '''the passing rate for these comps are also lower'''.
