11화: 아카기의 악몽이 나가토로 하여금 함대 발진 전 MI 작전 절차를 변경하도록 한다.
After Akagi has a nightmare in which her fleet meet with total defeat during the option, she asks Nagato to change the operation protocol, hoping to prevent the disaster she feels will be waiting for them. Shortly afterwards Nagato announces the battle fleet, including Carrier Group One and Two, Kongou and Hiei, Fubuki, Yuudachi, and Kitakami to meet Yamato and other ships to attack MI with a second fleet doing a feint on a smaller base. Fubuki, Yuudachi and Mutsuki meet and promise to come back safely, while Mutsu tries to comfort Nagato, who is doubting the mission. As the mission begins, Akagi decides to leave Kongou and Fubuki to wait for the others while the carriers begin the attack. They discover an Airfield Princess and launch a surprise attack, severely damaging her, but as they get ready for the second wave, the one eyed Wo-class carrier launches its own surprise attack with two Nu-class carriers, several destroyers and a torpedo and light cruiser. With her bow destroyed and her teammates taking heavy damage, Akagi, feeling that she had failed to change fate, remains motionless as a bomber heads toward her. (Source: Wikipedia)
