You can lower your bauxite to 2k with that recipe if you already have Taihou. That 3k bauxite in that recipe is just for the small chance it grants in constructing a Taihou in addition to the other LSC ships you are aiming for. With 2k bauxite, you can get the other LSC ships, but you won't get a Taihou.
