You should be able to clear the map. I cleared the map with Yuubari (54), Verniy (77), Shigure (65), Yuudachi (63), Ooi (65) and KTKM (66).

Sparkling seems to be random enough not to make a big difference. I got crit'd more often when I sparkled them than not. Formation-wise, I used echelon throughout and line abreast on the boss node. (It's debatable whether echelon really helps or not, though personally I found it better than others.)

I used double attack sets for everyone, including Yuubari. She can equip double attack plus sonar+depth charge at the same time, making her ideal flagship for this map IMO. I gave Verniy also a depth on her third slot just in case.

Even the Kongo-class can get crit'd and severely damaged. You might as well save the resource and use lighter ships.
