Sure. Few tips:

- Asashio K2 and Ooshio K2 have pretty decent stats, so are better choice than Michishio, who don't have K2.

- Asashio K2D have very good ASW and can be set up for OASW to kill that sub at boss, or as an AACI ship, for at least partial protection against enemy planes.

- Arashio also can be set up for AACI. Probably best use for her, since it still allows for double attacks at night, and none of those DDs have enough luck for semi-reliable torpedo cut-ins even with a flagship bonus.

- Sparkle both DDs. Sparkling other ships is IMHO unnecessary, but DDs live by evasion, so it helps here.

- Remaining ships should be 1FBB3CV(B) or 4CV(B) for maximum opening damage and survivalibity.

- 5-5 is aicraft-heavy map. Make sure you have enough fighters to keep at least AS all the way to the boss node even after losses.

- Make use of expeditions. They don't have to be heavy, 2DD2CVL2FBB or even 2DD2CVL2CA is enough, as long as they have decent equip. Sparkle all of them - that makes them show up >90% at pre-boss and 99% at boss. They don't have to be max sparkled. Just one trip to 1-1 should last for about three sorties.

- Your goal is A-rank. Sinking sub (this is where Asashio K2D OASW might be useful), two DDs (with a little luck expedition and/or opening airstrike should do it) and one Wo is enough to count as success. Boss node is relatively easy, your true enemy here will be pre-boss Re and compass, but you eventually get past those obstacles.

- You are unlikely to succed at first try. Be patient, mind the resources, and pace yourself. There's nothing wrong in taking that mission in several attempts over several days.
