Just cleared the map on the 3rd try, at HQ 92.

The crearing fleet was the following, in this order:

Akagi Kai lv 73, 4x reppuu

Italia lv 64, 2x 381mm kai, recon, type 1 AP

Kongou K2 lv 80, 36cm, 41cm, recon, type32 surface radar

Mutsu Kai lv 69, 41cm, 46cm prototype, recon, type 91 AP

Nagato Kai lv 73, 41cm, 90mm HA secondary, recon, type 13 kai air radar

KTKM K2 lv 84, 2x 15.5cm yellow + Type-A

Went the north route through the maelstrom (A-B-C-D-E), but managed to S-rank the boss in night battle nonetheless, the AP shells really help. Akagi was in flagship position as a reppuu mule for increased protection and to avoid disrupting attack order. Chose to not bring a saiun, since in the previous tries a green T at preboss sent me home early... Nagato was on AACI duty, she had over 120 AA with that setup: I suffered almost no damage from the flagship wo on node D.

I brought a CLT instead of a second CV for increased evasion and a more reliable opening strike, since I could achieve AS with 1 CV anyway. In the 2 aborted runs, it was always my second CV (lv 70 Souryuu) who was shot to red on preboss...
