Which difficulty are you on?

Your escort fleet should focus on night battle - bring night recon, star shells, search lights. Put the ships that deal the highest damage at the bottom of the escort fleet, as that increases their chance that they target the boss (in the hope that the others clear its remaining support beforehand).

Duckys are not particularly strong night battle ships, but if you insist on bringing here, put here close to the top. Here or Maya as escort flagship will increase the AACI chance as well. If you have some other high luck ships (luck 30+, like Yukikaze, Hatsushimo, Myoko, Ayanami, ...) you can consider bringing them with night torp cut-in, otherwise night double attack.

Not knowing your LBAS setup, I anyway guess that with your CVL loadout (only one fighter) you will not be able to achieve AS or even AP => no artillery spotting, so your spotter planes on your BBs are useless (also no night spotting, if you would put a night recon in the escort fleet, as I suggested above). I actually would expect that your CVL bombers already get chewed up in nodes W and L, so they will already be gimped when arriving at the boss. Put more fighters on the CVL - in fact, many suggestions go as far as to put only fighters on your CVLs - you may vary that along with the LBAS setup, e.g. the first LBAS base as fighter sweep, there may be room for experiments...
