Notes:

In my experience, this is a very strong setup which guarantees a boss kill without support expedition - given that you aren't forced to retreat before then. Opening torpedo salvo has good chance of damaging or sinking even gold capital ships (BBs and CVs) - and when they DO hit those big ships, the battle can get one-sided pretty quickly. The fleet can wipe out BB Hime's escorts in day battle and sometimes leave her critically damaged for the night battle, making her essentially a punching bag. The plane loadout also allows for air dominance even in H node.
