Operation Killer Whale

Please share your tips and tricks, and possibly your best
results from this Operation. :)
My best result was having at least one of each ship type in the
battle, which is hard to control if you aren't in a division for
the Operation. In my experience, my perfect ship for this is my
USS Dallas; with a 10-point captain (Dasha Perova) and premium
consumables.
I will say don't charge into the harbor like I do. I may
survive, but I would have had a lot more health left over if I
hung back.

When Killer Whale first came out, it was a lot more easier than
Newport.
The hardest part of this battle is keeping healthy, if you don't
have repair party your kind of screwed, because unlike Newport
and other scenarios there are no healing zones.
The biggest key to keeping healthy is killing one key ship, a
Kolberg. The Kolberg is at Tier III German cruiser with 12
small cannon with a high rate of fire. There are three of these
in the scenario.
One in the south in the beginning.
One in the north at the first wave
One in the west in the third wave.
If your a destroyer this ship will utterly destroy you, if your
a cruiser this will constantly keep you on fire, if your a
battleship this will slowly whittle away your health till a
bigger ship comes along and kills you.
The hardest thing about this, and other ships, is that its
camouflaged and it has a very unpredictable path unlike in co-op
mode.

The Kolbergs are way more adept than any you will meet in a
normal game and I try to keep them at long range while smashing
them. I've used CAs mostly in this op, the premiums DeGrasse and
Makarov work well, purely so that I can use a 19pt commander
with them and have access to torps. The bot DDs are also pretty
deadly good at jinking and dodging, if you venture into the
south entrance be careful of the one there as it is very good at
smoke firing and torping coupled with the Kaiser (IIRC) that is
also lurking there. I tend to venture into the harbour through
the middle entrance killing all the forts that are visible and
then the Kolberg and the supply ships. The shore installations
can usually be one or two shotted with HE, hitting them is
tricky, and the only guaranteed way I've found is to aim low and
then adjust up until the white mountain icon disappears. As to
completion, getting all 5 stars means you need a couple of
allies who know what they're doing in terms of getting the
secondary tasks, however, even with a bunch of potatoes as long
as you have one ship alive that gets to the exit then the
primary task will be complete. I usually don't survive as I tend
to be one of the team that cleans up the secondary tasks and the
BBs, especially the Ishizuchi, are really very good at finding
your citadel. It's not one of the easier scenarios to get 5
stars in but completing the primary task is relatively easy.

I honestly believe that's the biggest helpful hint is having
other players know what to do. If you watch my video, all the
battleships leave the harbor structures to me, the Farragut, and
the other cruiser to destroy. The battleships immediately turned
around to deal with the enemy reinforcements as we swept the
base clean.
As for the enemy ships, the destroyer to the south that I
encountered LOVES to fill that opening with torpedoes so watch
him when you go in, and if you have Hydroacoustic Search, use it
when you spot him. Radar would help if he smokes up. The
cruisers will do nothing but harass you, whittling your heath
down so that when you have to destroy the battleships, they can
pick you apart a salvo at a time. The buildings in the harbor
are fairly weak, so I like to fire a salvo from the front two
turrets of Dallas at one structure, then use the two rear
turrets of Dallas to hit another structure. Of course Dallas
doesn't have torpedoes, but mine has IFHE and Demolition Expert
for her 152mm HE shells.
Killer Whale is probably my favorite Operation, and the only one
I got 5 Stars on.
