Yeah, that quest is horrible refarding branching rules.

We calculated it once on twitch during a stream when a few people were doing that quest (including me) and came to something like 16.x% boss node branching with the best composition which should be around the level for the 5-1 quests if not even worse.

Most successful composition at that time was 2CV, 2DD, 1CAV (B-node branching), 1CVL. It's still random to go to the boss node at 2 points but one is giving you bauxite for going off-route which is a nice present during that quest while the other is there either way.

Go for AS mainly with the CVs and put your best bombers on the CVL and fighters in slots <10 that can be wiped out easily. Thanks to the 25 bonus for double chevron fighters the 6 slot of Souryuu is a nice bonus power to AS while you can equip a Saiun on Hiryuu's 3 slot.

Don't equip Seaplane bomber on the CAV to use him as a CA at the boss node and equip both DDs with 2 guns and 1 Sonar. Go double line if you reach the boss node and that should be enough to kill the sub that appears with a 2/3 chance while you have enough firepower left for the rest of the mob or you can just kill them in case no sub appears.
