I used the following composition on final kill (hard mode):

CL / FBB / CVL / FBB / CV / CV

Sparkled all ships, used Line Ahead on all nodes, cleared the map with 9 sorties (1 failure to kill boss with a different composition which did not win AS, 1 retreat at BB node). I suppose it may just be a placebo, but I tend to place my higher armor ships on the 2nd, 4th and 6th slots. I feel that those slots are targeted most often in Line Ahead formation. This is something what Dechidechi originaly wrote, but I found myself agreeing with his thoughts and been following them since then. Also, sparkling light ships is a good thing to do - BB don't need it, heavy armor CV don't necessarily need it either, but everything else needs the evasion boost since they don't have the armor to take hits reliably.
