**[00:07] Ooyodo**
We're heading out, Admiral.
**[00:12] Admiral**
We're all counting on you.
**[00:16] Yahagi**
Ooyodo, leave the rest to us.
**[00:19] Ooyodo**
I will, Yahagi-san.
**[00:23] Ise**
My beautiful catapult's still working.
**[00:27] Hyuuga**
Yes. I have Zuiuns now.
**[00:30] Hyuuga**
I'm all set. Don't worry.
**[00:33] Admiral**
Once you've loaded up
the resources from the south...
**[00:38] Ise**
I know.
**[00:39] Ise**
We leave the Zuiuns in Singapore.
**[00:41] Ise**
Our top priority is loading up and
transporting strategic resources.
**[00:46] Ise**
Right, Hyuuga?
**[00:47] Hyuuga**
Yes, that would be correct.
**[00:49] Hyuuga**
I hate to leave them all behind,
**[00:51] Hyuuga**
but what's important now is to bring materials
from the south back to the homeland.
**[00:55] Hyuuga**
We'll leave the Zuiuns we're
equipped with in Syonan.
**[00:58] Hyuuga**
They'll be useful in defending that area.
**[01:01] Admiral**
Thanks.
**[01:02] Ise**
Leave it to us.
**[01:04] Hyuuga**
Of course.
**[01:06] Ise**
Carrier Division 4, heading out!
**[01:09] Hyuuga**
Roger. Let's go.
**[01:13] Ooyodo**
Operation Kita Completion
Force, all ships, set sail!
**[01:17] Ooyodo**
Our destination is Syonan, AKA Singapore!
**[01:32] Yahagi**
It's all up to you now...

**[03:32] Isokaze**
From Torpedo Squadron 2,
they took Kasumi and Asashimo.
**[03:35] Shigure**
And there's Hatsushimo.
**[03:37] Isokaze**
Yes. Three ships.
**[03:40] Isokaze**
And the Light Cruiser, Ooyodo.
**[03:44] Shigure**
So, Yahagi will be both the admiral's
secretary and head of Torpedo Squadron 2?
**[03:50] Isokaze**
Probably, yes.
**[03:53] Isokaze**
Shigure, are you servicing your
anti-submarine equipment?
**[03:56] Shigure**
Yeah, it's important.
**[04:02] Shigure**
Now, especially.
**[04:04] Isokaze**
I heard that on her way back to the mainland,
Kongou got hit by enemy subs.
**[04:10] Shigure**
Fortunately, she made the wise decision
to cut speed and withdraw to Taiwan.
**[04:16] Isokaze**
Yeah, she miraculously survived with moderate damage.
**[04:19] Isokaze**
But her escort, Urakaze...
**[04:23] Shigure**
Isokaze...
**[04:25] Isokaze**
It's fine. Urakaze made it there, somehow.
**[04:30] Isokaze**
But for a destroyer,
a direct hit with torpedoes is...
**[04:34] Isokaze**
She's alive.
**[04:36] Isokaze**
She was taken off the naval roster
the other day, and left the military.
**[04:40] Isokaze**
We have to do our best
to protect the innocents we serve.
**[04:45] Hamakaze**
Want to take a break, you two?
**[04:48] Shigure**
Thanks, Hamakaze.
**[04:51] Isokaze**
Let's do that.
**[04:52] Hamakaze**
Here you go. Rice balls and mikan oranges.
**[04:58] Yukikaze**
Thanks!
**[05:03] Isokaze**
Yukikaze, you're always cheerful.
**[05:07] Yukikaze**
Yup! Yukikaze is always cheerful!
**[05:25] Isokaze**
What's her problem?
**[05:28] Yukikaze**
Yuki's always full of energy.
**[05:32] Isokaze**
You're close to her, Shigure?
**[05:36] Isokaze**
That's a surprise.
**[05:37] Shigure**
No, I wouldn't say we're close.
**[05:44] Isokaze**
No?
**[05:54] Isokaze**
It's good.
**[06:03] Hamakaze**
Oh, Shigure.
**[06:05] Hamakaze**
Shigure, Ryuuhou is in port for repairs.
**[06:08] Shigure**
Ryuuhou?
**[06:10] Hamakaze**
She just came to report to the admiral.
**[06:13] Shigure**
Thanks. I'll go see her.
**[06:18] Shigure**
Thanks for the food, Hamakaze.
**[06:27] Isokaze**
She's pretty busy too, huh?
**[06:46] Yahagi**
Shigure, no running in the hallways.
**[06:50] Shigure**
Sorry!
**[06:52] Yahagi**
What's gotten into you?
**[06:54] Shigure**
Yahagi, did you see Ryuuhou?
I heard she's in port.
**[06:56] Yahagi**
Oh, carrier Ryuuhou?
**[06:59] Yahagi**
She was just in the admiral's room—
**[07:01] Shigure**
Thanks, Yahagi.
**[07:04] Yahagi**
No running in the hallways!
**[07:07] Yahagi**
Shigure!
**[07:16] Shigure**
Ryuuhou!
**[07:19] Ryuuhou**
Shigure.
**[07:20] Ryuuhou**
It's been so long.
**[07:22] Shigure**
Ryuuhou.
**[07:24] Ryuuhou**
You look well, Shigure. I'm glad.
**[07:26] Shigure**
When did you get to Sasebo?
**[07:29] Ryuuhou**
This afternoon.
**[07:30] Ryuuhou**
I was supposed to do a transport
mission to the Philippines,
**[07:34] Ryuuhou**
but it got changed to Taiwan
because of the state of the war.
**[07:37] Shigure**
Transport mission?
**[07:39] Shigure**
Carrying what?
**[07:42] Ryuuhou**
Shigure?
**[07:45] Admiral**
Shigure, it's fine.
**[07:47] Ryuuhou**
Admiral?
**[07:50] Ryuuhou**
I'm having Ryuuhou carry the latest model
of Suisei 33 land-based dive bombers
**[07:56] Ryuuhou**
to strengthen their air defenses.
**[07:59] Ryuuhou**
Yes. With the Kinsei engine.
**[08:02] Shigure**
Oh, I see.
**[08:05] Admiral**
Well, you know...
**[08:06] Admiral**
They have an ultra-stable air-cooled engine.
**[08:28] Shigure**
There's a lot of those lately.
**[08:31] Admiral**
Yeah, the army's bringing in a ton.
**[08:36] Admiral**
But with these additional planes,
as well as ammo and repair parts,
**[08:41] Admiral**
the area will be much better defended.
**[08:43] Ryuuhou**
Yes.
**[08:45] Admiral**
I just talked to Yahagi,
**[08:48] Admiral**
and we're sending four of Torpedo
Squadron 2's best destroyers
**[08:50] Admiral**
as escorts on this transport mission.
**[08:54] Admiral**
From Torpedo Squadron 2, Shigure,
**[08:56] Admiral**
Isokaze, Hamakaze, and Yukikaze
will be participating!
**[09:03] Shigure**
Yes, sir.
**[09:05] Admiral**
I'm counting on you to be
at your best, Shigure.
**[09:08] Shigure**
Yes, sir.
**[09:10] Ryuuhou**
I'm glad to have you with me again, Shigure.
**[09:15] Shigure**
Shigure, Torpedo Squadron 2.
**[09:17] Shigure**
Alongside Isokaze, Hamakaze, and Yukikaze,
I will serve as Ryuuhou's escort.
**[09:23] Shigure**
A mission with Yuki...
**[09:28] Admiral**
I'm counting on you!
**[09:29] Ryuuhou**
Thank you.
**[09:31] Shigure**
Of course!
**[09:49] Yukikaze**
Huh?
**[09:56] Yukikaze**
My stomach...
**[10:04] Yukikaze**
My stomach hurts!
**[10:25] Yahagi**
What?
**[10:29] Yahagi**
Yukikaze's got engine trouble?
**[10:31] Isokaze**
A really bad stomachache, it seems.
**[10:36] Hamakaze**
Something about eating too
many mikan oranges at once...
**[10:40] Isokaze**
Doesn't she realize we have a mission soon?
**[10:44] Shigure**
Yuki...
**[10:45] Hamakaze**
If it's bad, I'm told, they'll be sending her
back to Kure for a full engine overhaul.
**[10:57] Isokaze**
That Stupid girl!
**[11:01] Yahagi**
We'll have no choice but to send Ryuuhou
**[11:04] Yahagi**
with a three ship escort:
Isokaze, Hamakaze, and Shigure.
**[11:09] Shigure**
Three ships?
**[11:11] Yahagi**
We don't have any spare ships,
**[11:13] Yahagi**
and there's no time to waste right now.
**[11:16] Yahagi**
Don't worry.
It's not just three destroyers.
**[11:19] Yahagi**
It's three of Torpedo Squadron 2's
most veteran destroyers.
**[11:27] Yahagi**
Tomorrow at 0800,
**[11:30] Yahagi**
you are to leave port as Ryuuhou's escort.
**[11:36] Yahagi**
After seeing Ryuuhou safely to Taiwan,
**[11:39] Yahagi**
you are to link up with one of
the Hi convoys in the region.
**[11:42] Yahagi**
You will serve as their escort, as well.
**[11:45] Shigure**
Hi convoys...
**[11:47] Yahagi**
The convoy in question already
has four coastal defense ships:
**[11:50] Yahagi**
Mikura, Kurahashi, Yashiro,
and Coastal Defense Ship 30.
**[11:56] Yahagi**
But there are huge numbers
of enemy submarines in the area.
**[12:01] Yahagi**
Sea lane protection is now every bit
as important as the front lines.
**[12:05] Yahagi**
There's no way to win this except
to have our fleet destroyers assist.
**[12:11] Yahagi**
It may just be an escort mission, but show
them the strength of Torpedo Squadron 2!
**[12:14] Yahagi**
I'm counting on you!
**[12:16] Girls**
Roger.
**[13:13] Shigure**
Shigure, Torpedo Squadron 2,
ready to set sail.
**[13:16] Hamakaze**
Torpedo Squadron 2, DesDiv 17,
Hamakaze. Ready to go.
**[13:20] Isokaze**
Torpedo Squadron 2, DesDiv 17,
Isokaze. Heading out!
**[13:26] Isokaze**
Follow me!
**[14:55] Ryuuhou**
Thanks again, Shigure.
**[14:58] Shigure**
Yeah, leave it to us.
**[15:49] Ryuuhou**
I think it's going to rain.
You okay, Shigure?
**[15:53] Shigure**
I'm just fine.
**[15:56] Shigure**
But... I don't like the way this feels.
**[16:01] Hamakaze**
Isokaze!
**[16:02] Isokaze**
What is it?
**[16:03] Hamakaze**
The radiolocator's picked up something.
**[16:05] Hamakaze**
* I believe it to be radar waves*
* from enemy submarines.*
**[16:10] Shigure**
They're coming.
**[16:11] Shigure**
Enemy radio transmission detected.
**[16:13] Shigure**
It's unencrypted.
**[16:14] Shigure**
Wait, more than one!
**[16:15] Isokaze**
They're not scared of us at all.
**[16:17] Isokaze**
And so close to the mainland...
**[16:19] Isokaze**
All ships, begin zig-zag maneuvers.
**[16:22] Isokaze**
Torpedo Squadron 2, prepare
for anti-submarine combat.
**[16:25] Isokaze**
Be on the watch both above
and below the surface.
**[16:31] Shigure**
Multiple torpedo trails to the port side.
**[16:33] Isokaze**
Ryuuhou, evasive maneuvers.
**[16:35] Ryuuhou**
Starboard!
**[16:37] Isokaze**
Torpedo Squadron 2,
begin anti-submarine combat!
**[16:46] Ryuuhou**
Shigure!
**[17:05] Shigure**
Hamakaze!
**[17:06] Hamakaze**
I see them!
**[17:14] Isokaze**
Hamakaze!
**[17:16] Hamakaze**
Isokaze! Right side this time!
**[17:19] Isokaze**
We're surrounded. Wolf pack tactics?
**[17:31] Yamashiro**
*Shigure!*
**[17:34] Shigure**
Yamashiro?
**[17:47] Shigure**
Shigure reporting. One enemy
submarine down.
**[17:50] Ryuuhou**
Shigure!
**[17:52] Isokaze**
Nice.
**[17:53] Isokaze**
There!
**[17:59] Isokaze**
Isokaze reporting. One
submarine sunk for sure!
**[18:02] Hamakaze**
There are still multiple in the area.
**[18:04] Hamakaze**
Be careful!
**[18:20] Ryuuhou**
Shigure!
**[18:24] Shigure**
Take this!
**[18:50] Shigure**
*What is it doing over there?!*
**[19:05] Shigure**
*Am I going to sink?*
**[19:16] Shigure**
Yamashiro!
**[19:29] Shigure**
No rain lasts forever...
**[19:37] Isokaze**
Shigure!
**[19:38] Hyuuga**
Shigure!
**[19:43] Isokaze**
I'm all out of depth charges.
**[19:46] Hamakaze**
I have a few left.
**[19:49] Ryuuhou**
Shigure...
**[20:14] Shigure**
Everyone. Ahead, at 12 o'clock.
**[20:19] Coastal Defense Fleet**
Coastal Defense Fleet, full speed ahead!
**[20:28] Shigure**
The rain...
**[20:31] Mikura**
Mikura-Class Coastal Defense Ship, Mikura!
**[20:34] Kurahashi**
Kurahashi, too!
**[20:35] Yashiro**
I'm Yashiro!
**[20:36] Ship30**
Type-C Coastal Defense Ship 30!
**[20:40] All**
We're here to help!
**[20:44] Mikura**
Hi Convoy Escort Ships,
Line Abreast Formation!
**[20:48] Kurahashi**
Line Abreast!
**[20:50] All**
Roger!
**[20:53] Mikura**
Prepare for Anti-Submarine combat!
**[21:00] All**
Fire!
**[21:23] Hamakaze**
Nothing on radiolocator!
**[21:29] Ryuuhou**
Shigure...
**[21:45] Shigure**
*The rain...*
**[21:50] Shigure**
*stopped.*
**[21:51] Destroyers**
Good work out there!
**[21:52] Destroyers**
Are you okay?
**[21:53] Destroyers**
Sorry we're late!
