Abukuma for the CL with some decent guns ( can be 15.5 sec, 15.2 mains, or even 20.2 no. 2 if you have some) and a hyouteki. For the AV, Mizuho is recommended but not required either of the chitose sisters will do just fine. Put two of your best seaplane bombers on the AV and a hyouteki giving you a second opening torp and the ability to score AS/AP (depending on how good your bombers are) on node G which will deny the enemy CAs their artilary spotting on final kill runs.

As for the DDs, Jumpleraverage basically covered it. Just run your best guns and a radar/engine/NB equip for the best performance during the day. CI set ups shouldn't be necessary on boss node since most things are weak enough to be taken out by DA at night.

Ah, also forgot to mention it earlier but with seaplanes on your AV the LoS requirement to get to boss node becomes pretty trivial allowing you to get more creative with the third slot equip on your DDs. Thanks a lot! Won't AV reroute me, at least sometimes? My luck is that of a homeless dog. As for planes, yeah, I tried CAV setup and I completely forgot LoS on my first run this month ;P
