Cleared E5 a day ago, but took a while to crunch all the numbers:

E-1: 3.5k / 3.3k / 1.7k / 1.2k  -> 9 sorties

E-2: 11.4k / 8.3k / 10.7k / 3.1k  -> 30 sorties

E-3: 9.0k / 5.4k / 9.4k / 1.3k  -> 12 sorties

E-4: 2.3k / 0.6k / 2.0k / 1.3k  -> 13 sorties

E-5: 42.3k / 25.2k / 49.4k / 6.8k  -> 47 sorties

Total: 68.5k / 42.9k / 73.2k / 13.7k  -> 350 buckets (178 used in E-5 alone)

All actual costs(rounded up), E-5 would have been less costly if I wasn't so lazy and impatient to sparkle.

Out of the 47 sorties in E-5: 28 retreats, made past node E 27 times, encountered boss 19 times, sank the island... twice. 3BB3CV up to past 50% -> emptied lifebar with 4BB2CV -> cleared with 5BB1CV. Without 46cm guns, I found it REALLY hard to sink Wake-chan with just one double-night-attack (highest damage inflicted with one BB with only 41cmx2 was 386). The usual RNG is already bad enough, but it was at full play (for the worse) at the last 10%. Made worse since it's hard to get two of my BBs to aim at her in one sortie.

Finished with triple digit fuel... going to need stock up and maybe farm E-4 a bit, but I'm glad I cleared this, even with all the frustration.
