The only reliable way to get air superiority to allow the Fusou sisters to use artillery spotting attacks (which is super important to finish the first boss) is to use seaplane fighters in addition to seaplane bombers. You will also most likely need to put some fighters on your LBAS and use them on the boss node. If you don't have any seaplane fighters, I kind of feel like your only hope to sink the boss is to hope for a T-cross advantage.

I had to switch from E4 medium to easy because I spent far too much ressources on LD without managing to sinking the boss, but here's how I organised my fleet in easy to geat Air Superiority: my fleet was composed of 3DD, 1CA, 1CAV and 2BBV (Fusou sisters). The CAV was equiped with 2 main guns and 2 seaplane fighters. Both BBV were equiped with 2 main guns, 1 AP Shell and 1 Seaplane bomber. My first LBAS was equiped with 2 Land-based Attack Aircrafts and 2 Fighters. The second one was equiped with 2 Land-based Attack Aircraft, 1 Fighter and 1 Kikka (can act as both a fighter and a bomber). Depending on how much air power you need in medium to get AS, you might need to put more fighters in your LBAS, or more seaplane fighters on your CAV. But the key point is that both of your BBV must be equiped with a AP Shell artillery spotting setup (2 guns + AP Shell + Seaplane Bomber, don't put seaplane fighters on your BBV!), as AP shell day cut-in will provide the extra damage you need to take down the boss. Only your CAV should act as a seaplane fighter mule, since she's probably not going to be able to finish the boss anyway.
