Since you have two nice CA(V)s, I'd actually advise you to swap out the BB with a DD. It'll bring you through the south route, which doesn't have the 3x Wo, making things slightly easier. You can then reduce the amount of fighter power you carry, and stack on bomber / torpedo planes instead.

I'd recommend support expeditions for the "on-the-way" support, as opposed to the boss support. I had a similar HQ level as you while on E2, and the boss is perfectly down-able without boss support. Sparkle your support expedition (all 6 ships) and they'll appear very often, taking down a good number of ships, making it much easier to hit the boss.
