[02:10] Tone
    What?!
[02:12] I-203
    I heard at 6th Fleet Command
    that the message was received.
[02:17] I-203
    It's true, it seems.
[02:17] Tone
    Tone
[02:23] I-203
    Tone, calm down.
[02:26] Tone
    I am calm!
[02:27] Tone
    I need to get going!
[02:35] Aoba
    Oh? Aoba saw it!
[02:37] Aoba
    My chance for a scoop!
[02:38] Tone
    Knock it off, "This is the Aoba"!
[02:40] Aoba
    Don't call me that.
[02:53] Tone
    Looks like we'll have to join in the fun.
[02:57] Tone
    Right, Haruna?
[03:03] Haruna
    Haruna is just fine.
[03:05] Tone
    What are you so down about?
[03:08] Tone
    Ise and Hyuuga's Operation
    Kita Completion Force
[03:12] Tone
    made it all the way from Syonan
    to Taiwan. It's a miracle.
[03:16] Tone
    And they're loaded with
    valuable fuel and materials...
[03:21] Tone
    They sent a message saying that your sister,
[03:23] Tone
    the one who'd taken a torpedo on the way
    home from Leyte and barely survived,
[03:28] Tone
    made it to Taiwan, too.
[03:32] Tone
    Yup. The Completion Force
    stopped by where Takao is
[03:37] Tone
    and said that Kongou's recovering nicely.
[03:40] Tone
    She's tough.
[03:43] Haruna
    Really?
[03:46] Haruna
    I'm so glad...
[03:48] Tone
    She didn't take any unnecessary risks.
    Instead, she retreated to Taiwan.
[03:52] Tone
    You should thank Urakaze, her escort.
[03:55] Haruna
    Yes...
[03:57] Haruna
    Sister Kongou...
[04:02] I-203
    Here.
[04:04] Tone
    Eat up for now.
[04:06] Tone
    While you've still got the chance, I mean.
[04:08] Tone
    The last battle will be soon.
[04:13] Haruna
    Yes.
[04:21] Kitakami
    Thanks.
[04:25] Kitakami
    Yahagicchi from Sasebo was saying...
[04:28] Tone
    Yup. The mission begins soon.
[04:32] Kitakami
    Which means if everyone from Operation
    Kita comes back with enough supplies
[04:37] Kitakami
    to solve the fuel shortage here at Kure...
[04:41] Tone
    Yup.
[04:44] Kitakami
    Kure will send out Yamato.
[04:47] Tone
    And our admiral...
[04:51] I-203
    ...will do the same.
[04:53] I-203
    I was lucky enough to be born. So...
[04:57] I-203
    I want to go, too.
[05:07] Haruna
    Yamato...
[05:12] Yahagi
    That concludes the mission preparations!
[05:18] Admiral
    Mogami, how are your Kai-Ni upgrades
    and new flight equipment?
[05:23] Mogami
    Just fine!
[05:24] Mogami
    The catapult's feeling great.
[05:27] Admiral
    And your new planes?
[05:29] Mogami
    I was given 951 Kyoufuus.
[05:32] Mogami
    As well as what's left of the
    634th Air Unit, and ace Zuiuns...
[05:40] Mogami
    The Zuiuns and Kyoufuu
    are both up to full strength.
[05:44] Mogami
    Actually, now that I'm Kai-Ni, I can carry more than before.
[05:49] Mogami
    And they're better trained.
[05:51] Mogami
    I'm ready.
[05:53] Admiral
    Good.
[05:57] Yahagi
    As for the operation target,
[05:59] Yahagi
    our Type 2 Large Flying Boats and
     Saiuns say that the invasion force
[06:03] Yahagi
    has left port and is heading
    for the Nansei Islands.
[06:10] Yahagi
    The Completion Force, including Ise and
    Hyuuga, is already near the mainland,
[06:14] Yahagi
    and will bring valuable fuel
    from Syonan directly to Kure.
[06:18] Yahagi
    We will not be waiting for their escorts
    in Destroyer Division 21 to return to base.
[06:22] Yahagi
    Instead, Torpedo Squadron 2 will
    launch all its available forces,
[06:24] Yahagi
    as well as aviation cruiser Mogami,
[06:27] Yahagi
    to intercept their force.
[06:29] Isokaze
    So, we'll be launching a valiant
    attack on the enemy invasion force, right?
[06:34] Yahagi
    No.
[06:36] Isokaze
    What?
[06:41] Shigure
    Then...
[06:48] Ushio
    Here you go.
[06:49] Hibiki
    I was just hungry. Spa...
[06:53] Hibiki
    They're back.
[06:55] Hibiki
    The Completion Force is back.
[07:05] Ise
    Hey! We're back!
[07:11] Hyuuga
    Yeah. I guess we are.
[07:16] Ooyodo
    Operation Kita was a success...
[07:20] Ooyodo
    I'm so glad.
[07:30] Hamakaze
    If we're not taking out the invasion force,
[07:33] Hamakaze
    then what is our mission, exactly?
[07:36] Yahagi
    The invasion force is being supported
    by a powerful enemy carrier fleet.
[07:40] Yahagi
    It's split into three groups and
     is advancing ahead of them.
[07:45] Fuyutsuki
    So the enemy's already reorganized
    and replaced their losses?
[07:49] Suzutsuki
    Direct support from three carrier groups...
[07:52] Suzutsuki
    That'll be tough.
[07:55] Yahagi
    Yes. Our own carrier fleet
    is still being rebuilt.
[08:00] Yahagi
    And what's worse...
[08:02] Yahagi
    A surface strike force primarily
    composed of enemy battleships
[08:05] Yahagi
    supporting the invasion
    of the southwest islands
[08:08] Yahagi
    is charting a course through this area.
[08:11] Hamakaze
    Excuse me for saying so, Yahagi, but...
[08:13] Hamakaze
    There's no way we can win this, right?
[08:17] Admiral
    I'm afraid you're right.
[08:20] Girls
    What does that mean?
[08:20] Girls
    But then, how...
[08:22] Yahagi
    Silence!
[08:23] Admiral
    I'm afraid that even with
    all our available strength,
[08:28] Admiral
    even with our aces in Torpedo Squadron 2,
[08:31] Admiral
    it's suicide to take this enemy head-on.
[08:36] Admiral
    However, Ise, Hyuuga, and the rest of
    the Completion Force of Operation Kita
[08:40] Admiral
    have succeeded in their mission.
[08:44] Admiral
    They brought strategic materials
    from the south to Kure,
[08:48] Admiral
    especially precious fuel!
[08:51] Admiral
    Kure will be sending Yamato,
[08:54] Admiral
    our one active carrier, Ryuuhou,
[08:59] Admiral
    Hibiki and Hatsushimo,
    who were delivering messages to Kure,
[09:03] Admiral
    as well as Carrier Division 4
    and Ooyodo's group,
[09:05] Admiral
    who unfortunately will
    not be getting any rest.
[09:08] Admiral
    Additionally, what remains of
    Destroyer Division 7 will be their escorts.
[09:25] Oboro
    Mission time, right?
[09:26] Sazanami
    With master!
[09:30] Akebono
    Eat this!
[09:34] Ushio
    Guys...
[09:38] Ushio
    Thank you so much!
[09:45] Admiral
    These ships will be coming to Sasebo
    to reinforce us after refueling.
[09:50] Admiral
    Until they arrive...
[09:51] Yahagi
    Torpedo Squadron 2 will engage
    in a naval interception mission.
[09:56] Shigure
    A naval interception mission?
[09:58] Sign
    Supply Fleet
[09:59] Yahagi
    Our objective is here.
[10:01] Yahagi
    Torpedo Squadron 2 will launch in force,
[10:06] Yahagi
    and use our high speed
    and the cover of night
[10:09] Yahagi
    to find and engage the enemy supply
     fleet behind the carrier groups!
[10:15] Yahagi
    If possible, we will make multiple
    attacks to destroy them!
[10:18] Admiral
    Our land-based aircraft will provide air
    cover and support as best they're able.
[10:27] Yahagi
    We are Torpedo Squadron 2!
[10:29] Yahagi
    We're not going to our deaths.
[10:31] Yahagi
    We're fighting to carry on!
[10:33] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[10:35] Admiral
    We're counting on you!
[10:38] Yahagi
    We'll be launching tomorrow at 1600.
[10:41] Yahagi
    Everyone be ready!
[10:43] Yahagi
    Dismissed!
[10:52] Admiral
    Shigure, a moment, if you would.
[11:09] Shigure
    Um...
[11:17] Shigure
    Me?
[11:19] Yahagi
    Yes.
[11:38] Yahagi
    Interception Force, Torpedo Squadron 2,
    raise anchor and set out!
[11:48] Mogami
    Interception Force, Modified
    Aviation Cruiser Mogami, setting out!
[11:57] Mogami
    Here we go!
[12:03] Fuyutsuki/Suzutsuki
    Destroyer Division 41, setting out!
[12:05] Isokaze
    Destroyer Division 17, here we go.
[12:07] Hamakaze
    Ready to go.
[12:09] Yukikaze
    All set!
[12:11] Yahagi
    Torpedo Squadron 2,
    Destroyer Division 17, set out!
[12:22] Yahagi
    Be on high alert for submarines!
[12:24] Yahagi
    I'll take the lead!
[12:25] Yahagi
    Fleet, take Diamond Formation
    centered around Mogami!
[12:28] Fuyutsuki
    Roger!
[12:29] Isokaze
    Roger!
[12:37] Mogami
    I feel like I'm Yamato!
[12:40] Isokaze
    Don't be stupid!
[12:42] Yahagi
    There's no time for idle chit-chat.
[12:45] Yahagi
    We'll engage the enemy at first light.
[12:47] Yahagi
    I want to avoid air attacks
    and be back by dawn.
[12:51] Yahagi
    Mogami, launch night recon planes!
[12:54] Yahagi
    Go for it!
[12:54] Mogami
    Roger!
[12:56] Mogami
    Launching night recon planes!
[13:04] Yahagi
    Don't let your speed drop!
[13:06] Yahagi
    Prepare to engage the enemy at first light!
[13:10] Yukikaze
    Yeah...
[13:12] Yukikaze
    I hope that's how it goes...
[13:16] Yahagi
    Ignore any picket ships you encounter.
[13:19] Yahagi
    Get right up close against
    the enemy supply fleet.
[13:22] Yahagi
    If we encounter any surface ships, shift to
    Line Ahead Formation and engage!
[13:26] Fuyutsuki
    Sounds great...
[13:27] Mogami
    Roger!
[13:27] Isokaze/Suzutsuki
    ...to me!
[13:39] Shigure
    I wish I could've gone with
    Yuki and Mogami...
[13:44] Mechanic
    Don't be silly.
[13:48] Shigure
    Mogami was telling me
     about you, the... old guy?
[13:52] Mechanic
    Don't call me that.
[13:55] Shigure
    Um...
[13:57] Shigure
    Sorry.
[13:58] Mechanic
    This is only happening
    because the admiral
[14:00] Mechanic
    and the flagship of Torpedo
    Squadron 2 really wanted it done.
[14:06] Admiral
    Are you ready?
[14:07] Mechanic
    We're all set!
[14:11] Admiral
    Of course, Shigure, this is only possible
    because of your experience,
[14:14] Admiral
    success in combat, and training.
[14:18] Admiral
    Everything you have right now
    is what made this possible.
[14:22] Mechanic
    You're sure?
[14:24] Admiral
    Of course.
[14:34] Shigure
    Admiral?
[14:37] Admiral
    Shigure, there's no changing the past.
[14:44] Admiral
    But seeing the past for what it truly is
    can help us change the future.
[14:53] Admiral
    Shigure.
[14:56] Admiral
    Your third modification. Shigure Kai-san.
[14:59] Admiral
    You're okay with this, right?
[15:11] Shigure
    Yes.
[15:15] Mogami
    Night attackers ready for launch!
[15:19] Yahagi
    Attackers, take off!
[15:22] Mogami
    Roger! Night Zuiun, take off!
[15:42] Yahagi
    Okay, we are entering enemy range.
[15:45] Yahagi
    Vanguard Formation, everyone.
[15:47] Isokaze
    Destroyer Division 17, roger.
[15:49] Fuyutsuki
    Destroyer Division 41, roger.
[16:20] Shigure
    Here I go.
[17:00] Shigure
    Hang onto this for me.

    They're in range!
[17:32] Yahagi
    Line Ahead, everyone!
[17:36] Yahagi
    Mogami, have the ones
    closest fire signal flares.
[17:39] Mogami
    Roger!
[17:40] Mogami
    Fire signal flares!
[17:47] Mogami
    Night attackers! Tora! Tora! Tora!
[18:49] Isokaze
    Multiple enemy escorts incoming off
    to the port side to our front!
[18:54] Hamakaze
    Enemy has opened fire!
[19:01] Yahagi
    All ships, charge! After me!
[19:09] Admiral
    Hamakaze's been hit and
     took moderate damage!
[19:11] Admiral
    Send her to dock 3!
[19:13] Admiral
    Pump her out as soon as she's inside!
[19:24] Fuyutsuki
    Admiral, old man...
[19:25] Fuyutsuki
    I'm sorry, but Suzutsuki
    has taken light damage, too.
[19:28] Fuyutsuki
    Look after her!
[19:30] Mechanic
    Open up dock 3!
[19:32] Mechanic
    Suzutsuki! Light damage! Emergency repairs!
[19:42] Yahagi
    Admiral, Torpedo Squadron 2 has returned
    from our naval interception mission.
[19:50] Admiral
    Welcome back.
[19:52] Yahagi
    Combat report.
[19:54] Yahagi
    We sunk three Wa-Class supply ships
    and critically damaged another two.
[19:58] Yahagi
    We sunk four destroyers and
    critically damaged multiple others.
[20:01] Yahagi
    Our own Hamakaze was moderately damaged,
    and Suzutsuki was lightly damaged.
[20:08] Yahagi
    Five of Mogami's air units did not return.
[20:11] Admiral
    I see.
[20:13] Yahagi
    Admiral, the enemy is in chaos.
[20:16] Yahagi
    As soon as Suzutsuki's emergency repairs
    are completed and Mogami gets new planes,
[20:20] Yahagi
    we'll launch another attack.
[20:22] Mechanic
    But Hamakaze's anchor...
[20:26] Mechanic
    It'll take a long time to repair!
[20:29] Yahagi
    No, it's fine.
[20:33] Yukikaze
    That's why we've got...
[20:35] Fuyutsuki
    Sasebo's...
[20:38] Admiral
    Shigure!
[20:51] Shigure
    I'll go!
[20:55] Mogami
    Shigure...
[20:56] Yukikaze
    Wow! Gure, you're so cool!
[21:02] Isokaze
    You've still got a lot to do first, right?
[21:08] Yahagi
    Shigure...
[21:20] Shigure
    Admiral. Yahagi.
[21:25] Shigure
    Thank you.
[21:30] Shigure
    I'll join Torpedo Squadron 2's
    next interception mission.
[21:37] Admiral
    You will launch at...
[21:38] Yukikaze
    The enemy's on guard! It'll be dangerous!
[21:44] Shigure
    I know.
[21:46] Shigure
    But I'm Shigure, Shiratsuyu-class
    Destroyer with Torpedo Squadron 2.
[21:57] Shigure
    I'll go.
