For farming node K: , 4CVL, SS + , CL/DD, DD, 2CLT, SS(V).

 is there for the rare cases where node H rekts one CVL, even with AS+ and AACI triggered. It has happened to me before, somehow the opening airstrike focused on one of my lvl 95+ Chitose-class CVL with 49 morale (as per KCV). Grinded my lvl 35 Ooyodo up to lvl 67 like this. If an escort ship gets rekt, return to base because you don't want your escort fleet nerfed by losing 2 ships.

 should be self-explanatory. She'll level up with just flagship experience. The first non-flagship DD should be equipped with AACI to help with node H, and should be on rotation basis in case you need to FCF a CVL back to base.

The main fleet SS should be Maruyu or any low level expendable SS. If she gets rekt at node H, there's no need to FCF her out. It's very unlikely that she'll even be targetted at node K anyway. Opening airstrike + opening torpedo + escort shelling should be more than enough to end the DD threat at node K.

I find that equipping the CVLs with red planes is more time saving and effective than blue planes. Red planes will prevent them to attack the Anchorage Water Demon at node H (it's very unlikely to kill her anyway) and will get the job done just as effectively as blue planes. Even better so, because torp bombers have a nasty random 0.8 or 1.5 contact damage modifier, where dive bombers have a fixed 1.0 contact damage modifier. RNG being a very fickle mistress that we all love/hate (more towards hate), the lower modifier would screw the airstrike effectiveness. Add a Type 2 Recon for the possibility of 1.2 contact damage modifier, a Saiun to avoid Red T and enough fighters to achieve at least 70 air power (supremacy at node H).
