Quick take on that:

Mogami would need a Type 3 Shell and 2 red guns, ideally 20.3 (best if model 2 or 3). The second biggest thing after having CA(s) with Type 3 shells is probably that this map will need you to level up some. Don't panic because you still have over 20 days to go. See if you can get some level 40-60 ships and you'll find yourself having a lot less trouble. You'll end up burning fewer resources.

I don't find bringing a CAV very helpful for easy mode because air superiority isn't important like it is in hard mode. I cleared easy using radars instead of planes and found this worked better. At the point you're at, someone like Atago+Takao (CA/CA) would probably get you better results than Mogami+Chiyoda (CAV/CVL). Having 2 CAs increases the success rate because these are going to be the core of your hitting power on the boss herself. Aiming for 1 CA is mainly something people with WG42s can get away with, but not you and I.

Air superiority gets stressed more for hard mode because you get crushed without it. In easy mode, there's no node except the boss which requires AS and even then, it's unnecessary.
