Nah, it's fine to ask questions. I think the fleet is quite okay, but there is a lot of RNG involved for this part of the map.

I didn't realize that your Ryuujou isn't kai ni. If you can, please replace her with Chiyoda Kai Ni because Ryuujou kai has small slots (59 vs 43). This is where you must sometimes select your ships, as some ships really do not have a future. ;_;

For example, my starter is Samidare and she has zero hope of getting a kai ni. She's also the first to be critted in every sortie, due to her mediocre stats. Although in the case of Ryuujou, she becomes quite good at kai ni... but that is at level 75 (while the Chitose has kai ni at 50).

Regarding Nagato: there is a reason why speed-boosting cripples a BB. With this setup, she will never do arty spotting because there is no spotter plane. :(

Unless you really don't like Hiei, it should be fine to put just another Hiei that you find, instead of Nagato. Only accuracy and evasion come with levels, so you just need to train her up to kai and max-mod her (minimum: armour + FP). Everyday, try to send your weak ships for PvP.

Regarding the support expedition: Z6 is NOT a boss node, so you would be using the normal node-support expedition. That would require sparkling the WHOLE fleet for it to have a good trigger rate. And their accuracy will still be very bad. But if every DD destroyed counts, then do it if you can afford to. Your set up is CV-support fleet, but usually we use support shelling because the CV-support fleet can lose power by having its planes shot down. Is there a reason why you are using a CV support fleet?

Regarding fleet slot order: You need to consider how your fleet will attack. During the first shelling phase, ships will fire based on their gun range (hence BBs will usually go first). During the 2nd shelling phase, the ships will fire based on their slot numbers. So you may want to put Haruna above your CVLs, to let Haruna rekt the enemy before they can fire back.

Regarding Kirishima: the main fleet doesn't enter yasen, so don't put the star shells on her. Put it on one ship in the escort fleet.

Regarding the escort fleet: Do you not have a search light? Night battle equipment are very important for this map because of... the imps. In general, as the girl with the search light will have a higher chance of getting rekt, you will want to give it to the flagship (as the flagship will fire first). Put your star shells on one of the escort fleet's members too. Is there a reason why you have so many radars?

Regarding LBAS: I don't know whether you are willing to and/or have resources for it, but if you can... try to build the LBAS bombers. They are very expensive to build (240 Bauxite!!!), so you may not want to do it during this event. But they are likely necessary to make the LBAS bombing good. In general, LBAS planes work best in the LBAS airfields (which means, interceptors & land-based bombers), while all carrier-based planes are just substitutes.
