It's probably doable without 1 or both seaplane fighters, after I read Tsubakuras comment about that comp I just slapped some shit together and sent them off to see how it would go. If you can at least deny arty spotting to the double line Rus at D and pull AS at I you'd probably do fine, bring some kind of aaci. Boss support probably won't hurt either. I just didn't use it because I wasn't actually trying to clear the TP phase, I just wanted to find a comp usable by prettymuch anyone that would make it to I and have an honest shot at an A rank.

One thing I noticed that is unavoidable and might possibly cause airpower problems, In my case when Mikuma offloaded the disassembled saiun the Ro44 in her 4th slot moved up into the empty 3rd slot which has a lower plane count, you'd have to be cutting it super close on fighterpower for it to be a real problem though.

Good stuff on your farming, though you might now want to do and farm E3 before going after Fujinami. i13&14 and 13's stock periscope will  (probably)  be much more useful and valuable than just another trophy DD. You can always go back to E2 for her once you're done clearing and farming E3.
