Running with 3 CLT sends you off to the deadend at node L.

Running with 2 CLT SEEMS to always send you to the maelstrom, or at least has a very high chance to go to the maelstrom with this composition.

1 CLT (and a CA in the first fleet instead of CAV) SEEMS to avoid the maelstrom. Devs are deadset on stopping people from abusing CLTs for combined fleets... So I tried this exact fleet (even the same ships) with the exception that I used Kongou instead of Nagato since my Kongou is level 137. I went through the maelstrom node. So either there's some weird branching rule that requires exactly 1 FBB and no more or you were just lucky.
