SFT setup looks good so far, although i would equip Maya with:

-20.3cm Main gun (the best version you have)

-High Angle Gun (8cm looks fine)

-Air Radar,

-Recon Plane

-and in the expansion slot the 25mm Triple ConcDeployment.

This reduces the AACI trigger chance very slightly (due to lower AA), but the daytime shelling would be a lot stronger.

With this you get day double attack (with AS) and the full AACI. And since you are bringing Maya, you could use Star Shells instead of the Air Radar on Kawakaze for higher Cut-In chances in your fleet/lower chances in the enemy fleet. Especially when the 10cm High Angle Gun on Kawakaze has a built in AA Fire Director.

If you should have the Type 2 Flying Boat (Taitei-chan) or the PBY Catalina you can extend the range of your LBAS planes. Usually by two or more, the LBAS tab on this site has a handy little table.

If you don't have bombers capable of reaching the boss node, yould try setting up one base with fighters that can reach the boss node (Zero Type 21) to lower the Airpower at the boss node, and two bases with a mix of fighters and bombers for nodes on the way (F+N come to mind). Alternatively you can cram those full of fighters and use them at nodes C+O/F. That way you can further reduce the Airpower of your fleet and equip more bombers.

If your fleet does not get regulary wrecked by carrier attacks, you could try reducing your fighterpower to about 200-220 and use more attack planes, but that is up to taste. You risk taking more damage/taihas on the way, but should have a higher damage on the boss node. If you should try this, i recommend dive bombers due to the higher damage modifier.

If you have any more AP shells, this would be the time to use them.

Make sure the CVL with the lower Evasion is your flagship, the second one i would switch to somewhere in the middle of the main fleet, so a BB is in the second slot.

If the level of the BBs are high enough, i can't tell, but if they are all fully modernized it sure seems worth a shot.

And remember: there are several days left, so you can farm more resources.
