For E-7H clearing, my assumption is that you have to rely on your LBAS to finish the boss, as it is very difficult to S-rank a node with 6 princesses, even with the heaviest/strongest fleet. Tip: whatever you do, you need to clear E-5 (for the 3rd air base) if you want to have a better chance at just clearing E-7H.

On the other hand, I've been able to S-rank the boss node at E-7E consistently with a much lighter fleet (Chitose/Chiyoda/Katsuragi all reppuu mules). Obtained Harukaze in 5 runs, and only used a total of 5k fuel, 3.6k ammo, 2.4k bauxite (1k+ was spent shuffling my land base).

Alternatively, you can wait till the next event and hope that she drops at an easy map like Kazagumo did.
