Expedition A3

 * Minimum 5 Ships Required
 * 2 Hr 15min
 * 120 Fuel + 60 Steel + 60 Bauxite, 0-1 Bucket, 0-2 Development Material
 * NOTE: This expedition apparently gives you Great Success without sparkles if you have a certain amount of ASW/AA/LoS. (No Drum Canister needed)

Possible Fleets
Something that may be relevant for A3. I attempted it earlier with the following ships:
 * 1 CL 4 DD 1 DE
 * 1 CL 3 DD 2 DE
 * 1 CL 4 DE
 * 1 CL 2 DD 2 DE
 * 1 CL 1 DD 4 DE
 * 2 DD 4 DE

Libeccio (level 30) as Flagship - no gear

Ushio (level 66) - Poigun, T94 AAFD, T13 Air Radar Kai (she always has this equipment on-hand)

Etorofu (level 36)   - no gear

Matsuwa (level 36)    - no gear (but sparkled)

Isuzu (level 76)   - no gear

The expedition failed. I went and double-checked the noted requirements/options for requirements and the overall compisition was correct (1CL, 2DD, 2DE).

I tried again, but made Ushio the Flagship instead and I came back with a Great Success (odd given the only ship in the fleet that was sparkled was Matsuwa).

My guess is that the flagship has to be higher than level 30 for success.
