GAME FLOW
One stage includes three steps: Strategy Phase → Battle Phase → Battle Report. You will prepare for a battle at the Strategy Phase, and then engage the enemy during the Battle Phase.
Strategy Phase (Dock)
During the Strategy Phase you will prepare your vessel based on mission objectives. You can purchase ship parts and designs, construct a new ship, or retrofit your current vessel. You can also purchase Prebuilt ships, which are ready for battle.
During this phase, you can also purchase combat aircraft, invest in new technology, and develop parts and weapons. Games can only be saved and loaded in the Strategy Phase.
Battle Phase
Control ships and accomplish mission objectives. An operation is considered successful if you safely escape from a sea sector after accomplishing your mission. An operation is considered a failure if your ship sinks or you cannot accomplish your mission.
Battle Report
Mission results are displayed onscreen. If an operation is successful, you can advance to the next stage. Otherwise, you can replay the stage starting at the Strategy Phase.
The amount of funding you receive is based on your level of success. Funding can be used to power up your ships during the next Strategy Phase.

Tips & Maps
Destroyer
Destroyers are smaller ships with a small turning radius, effective for invading small areas but with limited durability and a low weight capacity. They are best used for quick torpedo barrages against land, ship, and submarine targets.
Cruiser
Cruisers are mid-sized ships with a balance of offensive and defensive capabilities, able to support larger guns and missile launchers than destroyers. They can be retrofitted and come in light and heavy categories.
Battleship
Battleships are the largest and most powerful non-carrier ships, known as 'floating castles,' capable of carrying the most destructive power, strongest steel, and large caliber guns.
