Haven't seen anyone post a discussion about formation type, but here's something that might be useful to add as side note under the battle formation section:

For a fleet of 6 ships:

--Enemies generally target ships 4 and 6 when you're in Line Ahead. They target flagship too but results in the #2 ship blocking/taking damage.

--As for when you're in Double Line Formation, #5 ship usually gets targetted.

I still need more info on the other fomation but when I am clearing 3-5 or other "hard" maps with only Line Ahead formation, I put a ship like Taihou with armor in slot 4 and fragile ships like Ooi and KTKM in slot 3 and 5. A low level & probably fragile CAV in slot 1 with a BB in slot 2 to block. S-rank boss clear and CAV is intact.

If you decide to use Double Line formation, have a heavy armored ship in slot 5.

Excluding CV and CVLs, enemy vessels attack as noted above. CV and CVLs have planes that can fly anywhere so they don't behave as noted above.
