I'm already level 102, but seriously, only the first node is the "hard" part. If your ships survive the elite sub's torpedo, the rest is a walk in the park.

But yeah, the recommended fleet composition for 1-5 is 1 BBV 1 CVL 2 DD/CL. The BBV's main purpose is the second shelling phase because even with nothing but seaplanes her damage pales in comparison to DD/CL. You definitely need a CVL because she guarantees E --> I. Without one you might get sent to node G. Giving her a Saiun is recommended because a Red T is the last thing you'd want at the boss node. Which DD/CL you pick for this map doesn't really matter as long as they're equipped with ASW stuff - preferably two sonars and one depth charge - because ASW stats gained from equipment are worth ten times more than the ship's own ASW stat.
