"Basic sea area" is the phrase which is used to describe that area of the sea which is considered vital to Japan's existence as a nation, the area which Japan naturally controls and will fight for. It is in the "basic sea area" that the Japanese fleet is to operate, here, presumably, it is to give battle to the U.S. Third and Fifth Fleets, or any other Allied fleets which present themselves. The fleet-in-being principle requires that an inferior fleet maintain itself intact, not offering combat, but forcing the superior enemy fleet to restrict its operations until the fleet-in-being is destroyed.
