CVs always participate in opening phase - even when taiha. Only sinking them prevents that.

On the other hand it is possible to do LBAS aerial sweep so thoroughly that all enemy bombers will get shot down - opening airstrike animation still play, but it's just some fighters doing flyover - no attack takes place (not only your ship get no damage, but there is no individual explosions and no "miss" text displayed).
