There's many weird and wrong ideas here so I'm going to break it down to 2-3 parts...

VERY WRONG: Morale

Shadow12, do all 3 nodes. Your ship's morale will be deducted when you finished the sortie regardless of how many node/battle you go into. That is, the morale lost for going just 1 node vs. 3 nodes IS THE SAME; 15 morale lost.

This is the reason why people said 3-2-A is a good grinding (no sexual innuendos) but is "Fatique Heavy". You only do 1 node and then ended the sortie, which cost you -15 Morale everytime which maps like 4-3 allows you to go 1-3 nodes of battle before retreating making it a faster choice to earn exp but riskier because of the chance to face BB node.

For more information about Morale read here: http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Fatigue

Regarding the ASW equipments just use that to your benefit. If you only equip the ASW equipment on one ship then that ship can get MVP a lot easier than others eh?

Better option: AA Fire-Director - Fubuki vs Hatsushimo

For the AA fire-director, Hatsushimo isn't a good choice for that. The best choice for an AA director is Fubuki because her director is 94 AA Director while Hatsushimo is 91 AA Director. In Akashi Arsenal, 94 AA upgrade to 91 AA and 91 AA upgraded to 10cm twim mount + AA director which is what you should try and get for firepower and AA cut-in. Fubuki is kinda made more to be AA girl than H2shimo.

That aside, you can still use her for cut-in because of her luck (and some more reason that mentioned on the post above).

Isuzu, One who always profit from 1-5

I see you mentioning Isuzu so I'll assume that you have her and juding from how you grind 1-5 you're not at lvl 80 HQ yet. If you want a Kai2 girl, Isuzu can do it at 1-5A pretty easily. Equip her with some ASW gear and send her to 1-5-A, kill the sub there then retreat.

If you read about morale from the page you will know that you gain additional morale for MVP and being the flagship. This means your Isuzu will never reach fatique and you can keep running her again and again for 540 EXP each time. Other ship can do it as well but Isuzu is the safest girl to farm this method due to her already high ASW stat.

This method however, will not work after lvl 80 HQ since the sub there will be able to pre-torpedo you and line ahead formation hurts.

Still, I must admire your dedication for actually getting her to K2.
