Second sortie... I actually managed to get a S-rank, largely thanks to Furutaka as she took down the boss almost single-handedly:

That was a strange sortie. Support expedition didn't appear at all this time around and as a result, my escort fleet had to eat a lot of torpedoes from Line Ahead and Double Line enemies, but thankfully only my Isokaze and Hatsushimo were damaged to yellow, others got away unharmed. Isokaze had an amazing streak of luck, as in the second node she was aimed by 4 enemies in Line Ahead torpedo salvo, yet she got away with only yellow damage. Turns out, support expedition may not be necessary for the map, though I'd still run them since the overall resource cost for the map is very low due to how light the fleet is (aside from buckets obviously).

Also, the main fleet's DD are practically useless for dealing damage, and better off carrying drums with them. Now I'm only going to carry an AACI set up on Akizuki, and drums on the rest of the DD for a total of 9 drums.
