Just looked up the specifics:

Kongou (93)/Hiei (95)/Haruna (85)/Kirishima (76)/Zuihou (81)/Jun'you (85)

Jintsuu (96)/Fubuki (94)/Yuudachi (94)/Ooi (84)/Kitakami (93)/Prinz Eugen (53)

All the BBs set up with standard 2 x Main gun/Scout/Type 91 or Type 1 shell. Jun'you and Zuihou have between them 3 fighters (Reppuu or SK2), 2 x JU87, 601st Tenzan, Tenzan Model 12 Murata and a Saiun on Jun'you's smallest slot.

Jintsuu double 20.3 Mk 2 and night fighter from Sendai. Fubuki double 10cm HA and a searchlight. Yuudachi double 10cm+AA Fire director and a type 13 kai air radar. Ooi Kouhyouteki + 2 x 15.5 yellow guns. Kitakami Kouhyouteki + 2 x 61cm Quint. Prinz SKC34 x2 + Scout + Type 3 shell.

For reference boss support is Zuikaku (92)/Shoukaku (88)/Shigure (77)/Mutsuki (75)/Nagato (72)/Mutsu (61). Tenzans and Suiseis on the carriers, triple 10cm HAs on the DDs, 2 x 41 cm and 2x type 22 radar on the BBs.

If anyone has some magic formula to make this work out I'm all ears. About the only thing I can think of is swapping out Prinz for a stronger CA (I have a couple of possibilities there primarily Haguro and Maya). I just had a run where finally the opening strike killed a carrier. Still didn't work because my big hits in night battle went onto the other carrier and there was a single low HP battleship to attract a shot too.
