Make her the flag so she won't get targetted as much, add Tone and Chikuma w/ 1 barrel each and a zuiun so you get double attacks, go north. Normally I'm not a fan of the north route because of the night node, but here night battles are the great equalizer. Level and such doesn't matter so much. She will be making the opening night attack so you should at least modernize her enough that she can get a kill with it, otherwise you're making things unnecessarily difficult. And give 20.3cm no. 2s and type 32 radars to the low level ships to help with their accuracy. Should still be enough room on higher level ships (I'm assuming you've kai ni'd Kinugasa and Furutaka here) for a couple star shells.

Really, asside from the night battle the north route is pretty easy. First node is a light fleet, then night battle, then boss. No CVs. I finished this quest in two sorties. On the first attempt it was my level 115 Tone of all people who got Taiha'd. Night battles, man...
