I would try a CLT flagship with double attack if your los can afford it. Make sure to use the 98 night spotter. A CLT can often solo the boss at night battle if it has full hp. You might want to try 3 carriers like nomiak suggested due to lack of los equips and use saiun to make up for it. This also helps them be able to contribute. You should definitely put more bombers on taihou for the extra shelling damage.

I don't think boss support is neccessary for chipping with a BB composition, and i just used a preboss support fleet. This allowed my ships to remove the first node flagship Ta at the very least before 2nd shelling phase and prevent damage. The Wo on Hime node can also be dangerous as well and support expedition helps prevent that attack. I would try without boss support so you can get a feel for it and then add it if you feel it helps.

Using CA can help you only face one shelling from hime node which is much less stressful for advancing. It lacks firepower at boss and my average damage with 2CA, 2CLT, 2CVL was only ~50% in 7 encounters. Boss support is required for this composition.

1 CLT 3 BB 2CVL without boss support gave me 92% average damage to boss in 5 encounters.
