The damage and accuracy mechanics used for support expedition is the exact same thing as a sortie's shelling phase without artillery spotting. It gets affected by formation and engagement modifiers so results will not always be the same (and there's that thing called RNG on top of the crap accuracy support expedition has in general). The only thing seaplanes add to support expedition is very meager accuracy bonuses; just replace it with a radar (or AP shell if the extra firepower helps you hit 146 firepower).

Using CAs for support expeditions is just silly. While their resource consumption is somewhere around half of the Kongou sisters' on average, if you're running support expeditions you either want to make it count, or get the maximum damage:cost output (2DD 2CVL, nothing else).
