Green planes on Akitsumaru should be fine, it'll help with replacing the air superiority you're losing from your E-3 fleet. If you put Akitsumaru as flag, ideally she should be okay (@ 50 she did suffer orange damage once, otherwise scratch damage). She'll gain levels like a beast, and she's very effective at the boss (between 40 and 70 damage a hit). If you end up going B->D->H, treat the BB flagship battle the same as a boss (same formation), you should clear it with few problems. H->K is guaranteed, no LoS check.

You can option equipping the flagship of your escort fleet for utility (Fleet Command, Night Scout, Star Shell, Radars), as it will probably be CAs with Sanshikis doing most of the boss damage.

Still a chance to be diverted from the map, just make sure your LoS is fine and pray to RNG. Good luck!
