No, I meant it doesn't guarantee your ship's safety. CLTs hit hard but at the same time they can't really take a beating (especially KTKM and Ooi), unlike CA(V)s, so more difficulties getting through preboss nodes (except F node which becomes easier). Dangers here include Ta Flagship, Wo Flagship, Ru Flagship Kai (if you go through H), all of which cannot be reliably sunk with the opening torpedo. And CLTs can't equip sanshiki. Now imagine this scenario: your fleet with 1 CLT, 1-2 CV and the rest BB+CA equipped with sanshiki reach the boss. During day battle your CLT and CVs sink 1-2 escort ships. Then Wanko and Ru Kai proceed to taiha all your heavier ships leaving the CLT and CVs unharmed. 3 enemy ships (boss included) survive till yasen. CLT is left to fight yasen practically alone. Lets say, luckily she, being equipped with 2 red or yellow guns, attacks the boss. Can her double attack without sanshiki sink the boss? I doubt it. That's why I suggest to take as many sanshiki equipped ships as possible for the last dance, leaving 1 slot for a carrier to gain AS, to increase the odds.

Anyway, I've presented my theory. Now you can disprove it.
