If you don't have Tone and Chikuma Kai Ni, then your next best bet would be Mogami and Mikuma Kai, due to their plane capacity. If you don't have them, or you locked them, keep using Suzuya and Kumano, then.

You'll need one AACI DD as flagship, preferably an Akizuki-class. Followed by 3 DDs equipped with 2x guns + WG42. Recommend DD guns to be Akizuki guns, but 12.7cm HALM are fine too. 12.7cm TBK2 don't have accuracy nor evasion, so it is the least useful. The last 2 slots are for the CAV. 2x your best main guns + Sanshiki + best zuiun in biggest slot.

Land Base 1: 3x fighters + 1 bomber; Land Base 2: 1 fighter + 3 bombers. Ensure that all planes are at least range 6. Sortie both to boss node. Don't worry about enemy counterattacks.

Last, but not least, you must send a Boss Support expedition. If you do Air Support, make sure to load a fighter in each CV(L), to reduce bauxite costs.

Keep in mind that the boss node will, most likely, be fought in air incapacity, which means that the enemy BBs will do arty spotting on you. Just clench your teeth, brace for impact, and hope the openings have good damage rolls.

Formations: Line Abreast - Line Ahead - Diamond - Line Ahead - Line Ahead.

Good luck.
