I suggest changing from a single CV to 2 CVL's and try to get Air Superiority on boss. Also, maximize their accuracy so you can pick off the rest of the enemy fleet, preferably leaving the boss and CV Hime (ideally, they are damaged.) Equip things like 41cm Triple Gun Mount Prototypes or 38cm Twin Gun Mount Kai's that have accuracy bonus on your main fleet BBs.

As for the escort, it is vital you have a searchlight, observation seaplane (night scout), and a star shell. Put the searchlight on the flagship of the escort fleet since it can't be sunk anyway. Next, your choice of DD's should have high luck so you can rely on a good chance of cut-in. For the FBB on your escort, put three red guns (but don't overweight) with one AP shell and preferably also has high luck (like Haruna Kai Ni) for a higher chance of cut-in. On the CLT's, if you have Skilled Lookouts, sacrifice the midget sub for it so you can increase the chances they'll pull off a cut-in (the Skilled Lookouts made my KTKM pull off the final cut-in.) Order of the escort fleet is also important: this was mine - CL - DD - DD - FBB - CLT - CLT, so your highest damage dealers remain at the end, when the CV Hime and other small fry are dead.

And on the battle itself, a friend and I myself found the upper right formation to be more useful, again emphasizing accuracy to remove the small fry and focus the cut-ins solely on the boss and CV Hime.
