I would, but anything involving subs is boring.

I recorded the runs but sadly don't have the bandwidth to upload them atm so a writeup will have to suffice. Here's my composition:

Bismarck Drei (93) - 46cm, 38cm kai, T91 AP, Night recon

Yamato (92) - 46cm, 41cm proto, T1 AP, Observer

Musashi (92) - 46cm, 41cm proto, T1 AP, Observer

Taihou (91) - Reppuu 601, Reppuu, Tenzan (Tomonaga), Ryuusei Kai

Kaga (83) - Reppuu, Reppu, Reppuu Kai, 62 Zero

Junyou (81) - Reppuu, Shiden Kai2, Reppuu, T2 Recon/Saiun on final kill (no bombers since she is forced to attack the sub at boss, runs out of planes on 4th slot anyway)

Everything sparkled, double line at preboss, line ahead at boss. Yamatos are crucial if you hope to make clearing this consistent, they're the only ones with the armor to reliably soak Re torps. AP shells also do wonders against BWS, but the true MVP was preboss support shelling - with all of them sparkled and equipped with the best +accuracy radar (even carriers), it activates almost every battle, and has enough accuracy to pick off 2+ enemies on a regular basis, sometimes even moderately damaging Re-chan and taming her ability to send things to red. I cannot express just how important the support shelling was in keeping allied casualties to a minimum.

Naturally this isn't foolproof (if Re torps your CVL its likely gg), nor is it easy to craft both Yamatos, but it certainly reduces the level of risk to a far more manageable level.
