Your LBAS doesn’t look good either. You don’t seem to have enough land planes to fill 3 bases worth of attackers (hopefully they are simply not in the list), and you really need to invest into better long range fighters – namely, M21 (skilled), either by upgrading them from the quest or farming ships that have them (most likely Souryuu, as she also comes with a great dive bomber for support expeditions). Sending planes without a fighter escort is going to cost you a mountain of bauxite, and sending bases full of fighters to cripple the boss node’s carriers has repeatedly been a great strategy, especially for farming. Taiteis are similarly important, so get more if you have the chance.

I never put LBAS planes as a priority because whenever there were 3 bases, I put 1 on air defence since there tends to be so many air raids. With 2 bases, my plane amount is good enough (maybe). I know some people don't do this, but it drains my resources pretty quick if I use all 3 offensively. And I think damaged bases do less damage?
