Probably nowhere near optimal but I used:

Choukai (flagship with new striking force fleet command facility and yasen plane),

Michishio (searchlight),

Akizuki (AACI),

Mogami (with catapult fighter and best AA seaplane bomber I could use),

Fusou (same as mogami),

Yamashiro (same as mogami),

shigure (starshell and TCI, probably better off usiusing guns tho)

Firstly, this amount of nishimura fleet members is not required for easy but most of mine were fairly well leveled anyway. I read somewhere that one is fine by I'd take two as a precaution.

Because I had 3 catapult fighters and 3 decent seaplane bombers, I had enough airpower (about 170) to get ap/as on both of the air nodes without LBAS, allowing full focus on the boss (there are no fighters on the boss node so you can go with a full bomber load). If you don't have enough catapult fighters, consider using 1 LBAS to get through those nodes safely.

The new fleet command is key because zz1 is a brutal node, you will probably lose a ship going through it nearly every time.

As for expedition fleets, I used one to help get to the node but only used the boss one for last dance and even then I don't think it was necessary.

Keep in mind that the second boss has stupidly high AA so prepare for huge losses of planes. Still worth sending LBAS there IMO because the damage can still be significant.

Sorry if the formatting is weird but I'm on my phone.
