[Hidden Armada Base Detected! Launch the Assault Operation!][/h2]
A new PvE feature,
“Assault Operation”, is coming. In this new content, you’ll take on the challenge of infiltrating hidden Armada Bases scattered across the sea.
Similar to APEX Arena, this new feature will require the usage of Ships and Heroes for combat.
Upon entering combat, you’ll be assigned a preset fleet composed of Tier 14, Level 100, Ships, so what will matter most is the growth and strength of your Heroes.
The progress of different core features—Research, Hero Skills, Collection, Jet Tactics, and Carrier Module Upgrades—will be reflected in the Assault Operation, further enhancing your power with additional bonuses.
Assault Operation will be available for Admirals with HQ Lv. 18 and above.
Different terrains are available, and each will open on specific days only from Monday to Saturday. On Sunday, all terrains will be open and players will be able to choose which terrain to participate in.
Each themed terrain consists of 50 Stages, and all stages can be played and completed again.
Rewards are granted for:
- First clear
- Extermination
- Cumulative stage clear progress
Progress resets every Monday at 00:00 UTC, allowing you to earn Extermination Rewards again.
In addition, a special currency obtained from the Assault Operation can be exchanged in the feature-exclusive Shop for core items.
Shop purchase limits reset every Monday.
We hope this new PvE feature provides you with an exciting new way to apply the power you’ve built throughout your journey!

[New Aircraft Carrier: John F. Kennedy][/h2]
For the first time in 3 years since the release of Gerald R. Ford on December 8, 2021, a new Aircraft Carrier,
“John F. Kennedy” is now joining the battlefield!
The John F. Kennedy can be produced after reaching Gerald R. Ford Lv. 3 and it has the ability to load “Special Missiles”, unlike other Aircraft Carriers.
Upon obtaining the John F. Kennedy, Special Missiles can be produced in the Missile Factory and can increase the chances of dealing additional damage to enemy Carriers during attacks.
If attack is successful, Special Missiles will significantly reduce the enemy Carrier’s Durability.

※ Footage shown is from test builds and is subject to change upon official release.But wait, that is not all that the John F. Kennedy has to offer!
Powerful, special abilities never seen before are unlocked for each level of the John F. Kennedy.

Unique Abilities of John F. Kennedy[/h3]
> Last Stand: When the Carrier’s Durability reaches 0, it temporarily recovers Durability, removes debuffs, gains immunity to Malfunctions, and reduces incoming Durability damage.
※ Durability will not be recovered unless ACC is repaired in Base.
> Guided Bombing: During naval battles, there is a chance that an E-2 Hawkeye Warning will appear to detect enemies and trigger a bombing attack.
> Fleet Management: Adds one additional Fleet management slot, allowing up to 8 Fleets to be deployed.
※ Only active when the John F. Kennedy is deployed as the Command Carrier.Additionally, the John F. Kennedy inherits the special abilities of Gerald R. Ford:
- One-Man Rally
- Jet Deployment Count Increase
We hope this new Aircraft Carrier with its overwhelming power and support capabilities becomes a key force in your naval dominance.
