I do like my DDs, but I've absolutely never seen them do anything more than scratch damage to the Hime. Sure, they can deal around 70hp damage to the Hime in day battle at first, but that too is just simpe scratch damage. In night battle I've never seen them do more than 12 damage when the Hime's hp was around 100 hp. If the hp is below 10, only thing they do is miss with their double attacks (even though they almost never miss other times in night battles), again meaning they are only able to deal scratch damage. And I do have enough experiences battling against the final form Hime to say this for certain. Perhaps if you run a cut-in set up with three main guns or perhaps Yuudachi, then they may be able to do more damage. Otherwise, they aren't even able to sink the Hime, no matter how low her HP is (I doubt any night battle equipment would make any difference either)

If we are talking about the non-final form of the Hime, then it is a completely different matter. DD should (probably) be able to sink her with ease in night battle if her hp is low enough, considering how much lower armor the non-final form has (though I still have my doubts). I do also like your idea of running a CVL in the fleet.


 * Dechidechi: hmm, I'm running similar set ups on my CVs, though I can't afford to put torpedo bombers on the highest slot, if I want to win AS at the boss node (two Ryuusei-kai and one skilled torpedo bomber squadron are the only shelling capable planes I'm running). Also, I see that your Haguro has a radar. I'm actually not running any radars on my CA, as I've been worried about the LOS and chosen double seaplanes instead. I realize Haguro Kai ni has higher damage potential than Kumano and Choukai, but not high enough to make that huge of a difference. Perhaps it is the radar making the difference?
