Fortunately, you don't really have to use CAV at E-6H. I had Maya k2 in my main fleet, and Prinz/Myoukou in my escort fleet.

Unfortunately, I did use 2BBV and Akitsu Maru. It is highly recommended for you to use Ise/Hyuuga if they are decently leveled, though the "nuke" still works without BBV (refer to the central hime page, where someone did 1000+ damage with Yama/Sushi [with AP shells] in the main fleet). Since you can't use Akitsu Maru you'll probably have to use a CVL instead, which will make you start at a different point (but apparently easier to do the final kill).

So for you, I would probably say 2BB(V), 2CV, 1CV(L), 1CA + 1CL, 2DD, 2CA, 1CLT (FBB has a higher chance of going to node L). Boss support would be 4CV, 2DD loaded with dive bombers. Node support isn't really needed as the pre-boss nodes don't troll you anywhere as much as E-5H does.

Lastly, and this is just my opinion, but for E-6H you have to rely on the opening air battle and boss (air) support to take out the boss. That itself is up to RNG, so you should try and obtain AS+ at every node so you won't lose many plane slots when you reach the boss.
