Extra operation maps are always harder than normal maps, so I would say that the damage you are taking is pretty much normal. Remember though, most (if not all) of this game is about RNG, if it hates you, all your ships will get critted like crazy, if it loves you, you'll get by without so much as a scratch.

Your equipment for your FBBs seems fine, although there is a rumor that using guns that are too heavy for a class of ship will result in an accuracy penalty. Apparently this applies to 41cm cannons on FBBs, but I haven't really noticed too much of a difference between using 41cms and 35.6cms. Consider switching some of your AP shells for radars if you find your BBs missing too often. Your CVs seem fine too, although I don't know exactly which slot you are putting which plane into. As long as you are getting air superiority, you're doing it right (y)

As for formations, I'd recommend double line for pre-boss battles then line ahead for the boss node. If I recall correctly, there are 3 pre-node battles if you use the 4BB2CV setup which will eat up tons of ammo, so you will definitely want the line ahead power boost by the time you reach the boss.

Lastly, this might sound like a dumb question, but are all your ship fully modernised (except for AA)?

The only reason other than RNG that I could think of which would result in your ships taking so much damage is a lack of max armor stat.
