3DE1CVL or 1DD2DE1CVL also works nicely for easy sparkling and doing 1-5 boss runs. They can get easy S-ranks due to their lower OASW requirements, which is easily achievable even with only 2 gear slots.

You can also use the formation to handily sparkle other DDs for whatever you are in need of (supply expeditions, support expeditions, etc). Just keep your target sparkling ship in the flagship position while everyone else is geared for OASW. Recommended CVL: Taiyou.
