We don't know all your equips, so insetead of doing a list of equips, i think it's better to give you some tips to follow.

-Try to get air supperiority at boss with what you have. You can use any calculator listed in this page if you want. You can also read the "combat" page for more info in this matter. The amount of fighter power you will need for boss in hard is 252 (405 for final kill) If you can't, go for AS, go for Air parity, you will need 112 (180 for finl kill). Take some extra 10-20 points, as your planes will get shot down and you will get with less fighter power at boss that the amount you started with. If you dont get the rank desired, add more fighters in your next run.

Getting anything below Air parity will completely destroy your fleet and make boss extremely har to sink. Really, i think this might be your hardest probem, as, from the pick you posted, your carriers had 91 fighter power, meaning you are getting "Air denial", which means the enemy attacks twice and wrecks you)

Really, i insist, dominating Air superiority and artillery spotting in this game is a must if you want to do anything efficiently.

Other than that, since E-2 boss is pretty tanky, use a boss support fleet for the final kill (More info about it in "expedition" page)

Sparkle if it still doesnt work.

Btw, AACI is Anti-air cut in, you need Akizuki or file directors to use it (rewards from last event), they are not needed but help a lot decreasing damage from enemies carriers in air bombing phase.
