You might want to re-read my post above, since you missed some key points I pointed out.

Aside from evasion, there are other factors affecting your survivability, like actually completely obliterating your opponent's planes which effectively prevents them from actually bombing you. AA guns would help with that, seaplane fighters would also help indirectly by providing you with a better air state. However, using a Zuiun wouldn't help with any of that, unless you're saying your airstrike somehow magically wipes out the enemy carriers.

Assuming you S-rank node E, your ships aside from the flagship will either end up with 46 morale if you get a B-rank or 44 morale if you get a D-rank instead. You're right that the moral loss is lower, but does it matter whether your ships are at 44 or 46 morale? Not really. Whether you end up with 46 morale or 44 morale is completely irrelevant, so morale is obviously not a good reason to advocate this setup. The real reason why people even try to utilize this setup is just so they can potentially avoid a D-rank on node F, at the cost of bauxite and potential proficiency loss. Admittedly, the baux and proficiency loss are minor things, but if it can be avoided without much consequences, why shouldn't I? :V

When I look at a strategy, I aim for the bigger picture by looking for one of the 2 things that it tries to accomplish: Your strategy of putting a Zuiun on only accomplishes the fact that you made it a possibility to avoid D-rank on node F, but it doesn't make node F any easier to beat than if you didn't used any Zuiuns. In short, you will not be able to convince me to use this strategy, unless a mechanic change in the future makes me reconsider this option.
 * Is it used to make the map easier to clear?
 * Is it used to reach a certain node? (for farming reasons, like this spring 18 food event)

I have mentioned earlier about how people thinks its the end of the world if you get a D-rank on node F and if you're one of those people, feel free to keep using whatever strategy you have been using. I definitely agree that this is a way to minimize the amount of D-ranks and I won't stop you if you want to continue using it, but I have no plans on using it if there are more practical strategies in order to make node F more survivable
