I would recommend using the Surface Task Force, if you should have good BBs. They should have more Ammo at the boss node, so their penalty to damage is less/non existant.

Otherwise i would swap Shigure and Kawakaze, the flagship gets higher Cut-In chances. Also try equiping Kitakami with 2x Torps and Kouhyouteki for another Torpedo Cut-In. You could also swap the Night Recon from Sendai to Hiei, for a small increase in trigger chance.

Another idea would be changing Hiei for a good Heavy Cruiser, since night combat adds firepower and torpedo stats, so a Cruiser would probalby be stronger at night than Hiei.

Also, do you really need the Fleet Command Facility? Often sending two ships home reduces your firepower by a large margin, especially when you have to forego your Torpedo Cut-In. Not using this would open one more plane slot.

Assuming you are going for the Northernmost Water Hime and not the BB Hime: Your fighterpower seems somewhat low. If you can't reach 363, it is probably worth a try reducing it to about 200 (assuming your LBAS for the boss node includes some fighters), that should give you AS at the boss node and at least AP on route, excluding one formation at node O that would need about 230. Furthermore try to slot your bombers into the larger slots, this should keep them from getting shot down completly. This should open up more room for attack planes. But I did not yet try the CTF for the boss node, so i hope someone who tried it will help you finetune your CV loadout.

Good Luck
