From what I've heard, 41 cm are also overweight for FBBs, though I'm a bit hazy on it. I personally found that double 35.6 wasn't that great either though. For Kirishima, I gave her a 46cm and a 35.6 dazzle, combined with a type 32 surface radar, and that at least gave her reasonable hit rate. X2 35.6 and an AP shell might also work. Katori can be used in place of the CA in the main fleet to avoid the malestrom node. As flagship she'll survive reasonably well. That way you can include a FBB in the second fleet and leave room for a BB in the first fleet.

For second fleet, Jintsuu kai ni with X2 20.3 cm (no2) and a night scout was pretty effective. Yukikaze can be replaced by Shigure or Hatsushimo, since they also have high luck (though their power is a bit lower). Otherwise, Yuudachi or Ayanami might work, but I've not been too impressed with them as night battlers.

Support expeditions might also help a lot.

Where are you having trouble, the boss or the preboss node?
