3-2-A works with CAs too, you need to make sure they have a double-attack setup (2x red guns, floatplane, radar works well) and they won't consistently get MVP until you get them to Kai and modernize their firepower above around 80.

A fleet of CA, 3x CVL, SS and either a BB with its teeth pulled (remove all guns) or a 4th CVL if your CVLs are able to clear the trash effectively works pretty well. Set each CVL with type-99 dive bombers (they are more accurate in initial attacks than torpedoes) in their two top spots, then fill the rest with radars, and make sure you have a Saiun on one as well to avoid the T-cross disadvantage. You can continue to run the CVLs even when they're down to red morale, and in fact they should get MVP less often when they're low morale, but still clear most of the enemies fairly effectively, and your CA will hit hard enough to take out most enemies and fairly consistently get MVP so she'll be low fatigue constantly. Just have to rotate your SS.

This method's pretty good for grinding out levels on your CVLs at the same time, fairly resource efficient too and you can basically ignore fatigue on the carriers. Periodically the game will troll you though, you will fail to clear the enemies and one of them will torpedo a carrier to critical and land you with a few hours repair time, so it's good to have > 4 to be able to rotate one out when that happens.
