Any advice for clearing E7N first boss? I have done 4 LD battles and still cannot sink the boss.

Main fleet:

Chitose (T53 Iwamoto MAX, T52 Skilled MAX, T52 601 +6, FCF)

Haruna (2x Proto 35.6 +6, T91AP+6, T0 Recon 11B Skilled)

Iowa (16in+3, 16in GFCS, T91AP+6, Obs)

Musashi (P51cm, 16in, T1AP+6, Obs, Boiler + Turbine)

Kongou (38cmK+7, Proto35.6+7, T91AP+6, T0Recon11B)

Ryuujou (Reppuu 601 MAX, T62F/B Iwai MAX, T52Skilled MAX. Saiun, 12cm rocket launcher K2)

Escort fleet

Abukuma (Ko-hyoteki, 2x OTO +6)

Kasumi (Quint torp, Quad torp, Searchlight MAX) Shigure (Sext torp, Quint torp, Triple oxy torp, QF Pom-pom gun Bofors) Choukai (20.3#3 +7, 20.3#2 +6, Night Recon, Star Shell)

Maya (20.3#3+6, 5in Mk28, SK Radar, Obs, Bofors)

Zuihou (TBM3D, F6F5N, F6F3N, NOAP)

(i've rearranged the escort now so the two TCI ships are below the NBDA ships)

LBAS 1: 2x Toukai, 901 Toukai (to node N) (only 3 planes) 2: Taitei, 2xT1LBAA, T1LBAAM34 (boss) 3: Taitei, T1LBAA, 2x T1LBAAM22A (boss)

Also running boss AND normal support (standard shelling support)

One thing I notice is that the landbase support doesn't hit the BB princesses, which is one of the reasons I cannot sink the boss at night, due to three princesses alive at night AND after the friend fleet attack. Also Musashi doesn't hit the princessses and instead attacks Ne or that CVL, causing the princesses to attack her instead.

I would've sunk the boss this last run, if Zuihou did not get chuuha'd at day and Shigure did her cut-in. Should I use 1 CVB + CAV mule instead of 2CVL? If I'm gonna use replenishments who should I remove then>? I am tired of seeing Musashi and Iowa both chuuha/taiha AND the boss is not yet cleared. Musashi also 4/4 taiha after the boss battle.Musashi taiha magnet of the entire event.
