How to read the requirements
- Ships is the minimum fleet size. Anything not covered by a ship-type condition can be any ship.
- Composition lists the accepted ship-type combinations. Where several are joined by or, meeting any one of them is enough.
- Drums means Drum Canisters (ドラム缶(輸送用)) equipped in the fleet, spread over at least the stated number of ships.
- Fleet totals are the combined Firepower / AA / ASW / LoS of every ship in the fleet. Equipment counts toward them, so adding AA guns, sonar, or depth charges is often easier than swapping ships.
- Monthly expeditions can be completed once per month; the rest can be repeated freely.
- Items: the first item has a chance to drop on any success, and the second one is guaranteed on a great success. Both drop a random amount up to the number shown.
Best repeatable expeditions per hour
Worked out from the table below (non-monthly expeditions, raw resources per hour):
- Fuel — 38 Tokyo Express (2) is the top earner at 144/hr but needs a Lv65 flagship; 21 (137/hr, flagship Lv15) and 05 Maritime Security Missions (133/hr, flagship Lv3) are the easy alternatives.
- Ammo — 02 Long Distance Training Voyage: 200/hr from a 30-minute run with any 4 ships.
- Steel — 03 Security Tasks: 120/hr from a 20-minute run with any 3 ships.
- Bauxite — 06 Anti-Air Exercises: 120/hr from a 40-minute run with any 4 ships, far ahead of anything else.
To compare expeditions with a bauxite-weighted score, use the Expedition Efficiency Calculator.
