You don't need S ranks for clearing transport gauge. Just load as many drums and Daihatsus on your ships in first fleet as you can and simply A rank it. If you have Akitsu Maru it'll be even faster. I haven't used supports, but I did S rank a couple of times. You might wanna sparkle the second fleet so their accuracy and evasion are improved. Also you should use as much firepower in second fleet as you can bring. Abukuma K2 is invaluable for her opening torpedo, 2 high firepower CAs with DA setup like Choukai K2 and Haguro K2 and high firepower DDs like Yuudachi K2 and Ayanami K2 with night DA setup are preferred. Also Kasumi K2 as first fleet flagship is great if you don't have Akitsu as she can carry FCF and Daihatsus. Otherwise using her in second fleet for her high firepower is great.
