I'm going to assume your HQ Lvl is lower than 80 based on your profile. Sometimes if you're unlucky the attack will either miss or do scratch damage.

Most of the time the easiest way is to stack more ASW gears (e.g. Depth Charge and ASW Radar) to your DD/CL, use line abreast formation and hope for the best. [If you have both Deph Charge and ASW Radar the damage increases by some percentage]. This is usually an almost sure-win most of the time at low level (<40) but might not be if you're very unlucky at higher level (>40 or >80)

Stack Zuiun (or higher recon bomber plane) for BBV and bombers for your CVL (pick one that gives you ASW stats).

If all else fail, try reaaranging your fleet's ship position. Maybe place one DD as Flagship (FS) to clear out the weaker subs (which they will usually aim first) then let BBV and CVL try and cripple out or take down the others before having your (usually highest ASW) last ship to try and finish the boss off.
