Maruyu is not ideal for baiting in E5. You should be using I-168 because she has two usable slots at kai as opposed to Maruyu with her lone slot. That way, you can fit a Damecon and another equipment (Torp or Turbine, your call).

Most of the time, you wouldn't even need to be using the damecon until Last Dance (since the Boss would have buffed up ASW stats in her final form) but it's there for insurance on the off-chance the Boss crits her from red.

A fleet with an average of Lv40 should have no trouble passing E5 Hard (which I did) unless you're doing something wrong... Try Echelon formation at the NB node - it helps to increase ASW evasion for your sub.
