The thing with Akizuki's night firing order is quite important indeed. I always have her near the beginning, usually right after whoever's holding the searchlight. By having her shoot early, she can help take out some of the trash and clear the way for your heavy hitters. If she aims for the boss she will still do a lot of scratch damage (often around 100 or more damage), as the boss will typically have a lot of health left at the beginning of night battle. That scratch damage can definitely put the boss in kill range for your last few ships.

Putting Akizuki last makes her fairly useless in night battle. At that point it's likely just the boss left on low health. There's no way Akizuki can do anything at that point, as scratch damage mechanics won't sink the boss.
