E-5 Clear, 17 Runs, 5 Retreats Due to Red Damage.

I used 3CV/3BB (Taihou/Yamato/Nagato/Kongou/Kaga/Zuikaku) until the boss was around 10%, then I switched to 2CV/4BB (Yamato/Nagato/Kirishima/Kongou/Kaga/Zuikaku) for the kill. I can confirm that the 2 Fast BB and 2 Slow BB can give you either node after E, so I do recommend it since it can send you to the easier submarine node fairly often.

Line Ahead is also very legit on Node E. There doesn't appear to be a significant difference in evasion/defense, but there is a big difference in firepower (especially with support fleets), so you can reduce her to mid health before she can get her second half.
