Subs are still tanky enough and your fleet should wipe out most foes before the shelling even begins. Damage barely even matters if you have 3+ subs, if you have a lot of low leveled ones then that's even better.

Personally I tend to field only 2x CV/CVL, 1x BB and 1x SS, the other two slots are for ships that require exp. Even with that setup, my SS rarely take damage and I can wipe out 4-5 ships before shelling.
