I generally use Line Ahead too, although I've given a try to such formations as Line Abreast and Echelon when going through the south routem and they haven't never worked. Well, I didn't think they would, I honestly don't know where people have got such a idea that Line Abreast increases survivability - that is an anti-sub formation, and nothing more, nothing less. (I only believe in the Echelon night evasion buff myself.)

Also, my ship girls have only once survived the torpedo salvo of the first node without taking moderate damage and more. That was the one single time when I ever got Red-T on first node, and thanks to that, the torpedoes of the enemy fleet only did scratch damage or missed. My ship girls do get through the first node every now and then with 2 moderately damaged, but they've always been lightly damaged to in the following node, sending them to red, and the fleet to home.
