I put one of my 3 CV in the flagship position sometimes. The reason is as already mention: to protect the weakest CV in the fleet. And since I'm using 3BB, all of my BB shoot before the senkan hime at night battle. From my experience, island demon never hits anything at night so giving her the first shot is not much of a concern.

The trade off is that you lose protection on one BB and this could prevent you from doing more damage to the island demon. So it's chance of reaching boss VS chance of doing more damage to boss.

My preference is the former, as my support fleet often hit the island demon for 100-150 dmg. That plus occasional fluke shots make a more consistent chipping away of the boss HP gauge (and better motivation for myself to keep going). There was also a 10+ level gap between my Taihou / Kaga and the next best CV.
