Just a tip for those who haven't cleared E2:

USE TORPEDO CUT-IN setups on your DD (no matter how much luck they have).

- DD Hime has high armor, most of your ships are likely to take moderate/large damage after day battle, double attacks on DD with moderate damage nerf is unlikely to penetrate her high armor.

- Cut-in setup gets increased chance of activation when your ship is damaged. Also, due to the high modifier of Torpedo cut-in (150% x 2), even when your DD is damaged they still do good amount of damage which is still likely to penetrate DD Hime's armor if you use good DD like Shigure K2, Yukikaze or Ayanami, Shimakaze, etc where as double attack can't reliably do.

- Increased torpedo stats allows your ships to sink enemy trash DD escorting the boss even with red T-cross, leaving the DD Hime (and sometimes, Tsu-class CL elite) left, making it easier to get S rank.

Trust me, I did around 30 runs of this map, most of those were after last kill. Although cut-in is more luck (both in-game and real) dependant, but better have that chance than not. Using star shells and search lights help, though you should still have enough effective LOS to reach boss safely. If you do use search light, give it to the last ship in your fleet; use Star shell only if you still have enough effective LOS, but priortize Search Light.

Also, this tip works against E-3 and E-4 boss too, but in case of moderate damage only your bigger combat ships (mainly CLT) get a chance of killing boss.
