Without having a look at the rest of your fleet here are my immediate suggestions:

Combined Fleet: The AO is only required for the second starting point for a Carrier Task Force. If you use a Surface Task Force, make sure it's Fast and only has CVLs.

Main Fleet: Since you're bringing the FM-2, your carriers are going to be attacking the installations. If this is intentional, then you want those planes on the first or largest slots (my understanding is that there is a damage boost from Torp and F/Bs being on the first slot and large slot points protect them from being shot down)

If the Carrier Fighters you have equipped are the strongest/best you have, then you are better-served shooting for Air Parity instead of Air Superiority. This may change who/what you equip.

Suzutzuki should have 2 Ducky Guns instead of 1 (she comes with one, and she gets a second at Kai). Her torp stat sucks. If you have Maya K2, use her instead. Her AACI is better. ...I don't want to be a jerk, but the build you have on her is just outright offensive...

Escort Fleet: If you have Tama or Abukuma K2, bring them instead of Kinu. Both can carry Daihatsu and have a damage boost against the boss.

If nothing else, then Kasumi should have the following gear: Tank + Daihatsu + WG42 These pieces of gear synergize and, coupled with her damage buff, make her an obscene installation killer.

Gear Placement: Prioritize what anti-installation gear (Tanks, Daihatsu, WG42) you have on your Escort fleet. They are going to be your bread-and-butter when it comes to punching the boss in the face at night.

Ship Notes: - If you have the following ships at K2 (or Kai in some cases), consider bringing them instead because they all have damage boosts across the map: Hibiki, Tashkent (damage is x1.15) Nachi, Ashigara, Tama, Kiso, Abukuma (damage is x1.1)

- You can replace RJ with a regular carrier; the CVL note is for Hard Mode and some of the routing requirements there.

I hope this helps.
