Episode Title:
Night Battle in the Strait
Episode Description:
The 3rd Section continues further into the strait, where they encounter heavier Abyssal resistance. During one skirmish, Fusou is hit by torpedoes and is heavily damaged, but she refuses to retreat. With no other choice, Yamashiro orders the 3rd Section to continue pressing forward. However, they finally make contact with the main Abyssal fleet and are quickly overwhelmed as they begin taking heavy damage. Fortunately, they are saved by the timely arrival of the 2nd Striking Force led by Ashigara. Despite the additional reinforcements, the shipgirls are again overwhelmed when the twin Abyssal Night Strait Princesses enter the battle. At that moment, the rest of the 1st Striking Force arrives and ambushes the Night Strait Princesses, killing one of them. Yamashiro and Shigure work together to finish off the remaining Night Strait Princess and the resulting explosions leaves Yamashiro's fate unknown.
