This may be old news, but for newcomers, I'm running E-1 (with success) at the moment with a slightly different setup (ONE CVL ONLY).

Southern Route CLT, BBV, BBV, CAV, CAV, CVL

CLT: Sonar, Depth Charge, Midget Sub, Lvl 60+ BBV: 46, 46, Radar, Seaplane, Lvl 60+ CAV: 20.3(3), 20.3, Seaplane, Misc, Lvl 30+ CVL (Chiyoda): Reppu-K, Reppu, 62 Fighter-bomber, Saiun, Lvl 60+, (Air power 111, enough for air priority on 3rd node)

Note: (Why I run certain things) 1. Seaplanes instead of Zuiun on BBV/CAV makes them ignore the sub and hit surface ships instead 2. Less CVL, moar NB power, less soft flanks. 3. Formation I use: Double, Double, Line Ahead, Line Ahead. I tried diamond on the 3rd node, but I prefer to just kill everything rather then try to tank it out. 4. CLT almost always one shot something on every map, especially on Line Ahead, ASW kills the sub pretty efficiently, and does well at Night Battle. 5. I find the CAVs, being somewhat under level, takes red damage most often, so I have a repair team in the Misc spot, you can put in a turbine or radar to suit your preference. 6. Kudos if you don't have extra CVL to spare across the span of AL/MI/E-6 7. Cons is less CVL means less Air Phase Torp strikes, which can occasionally take out some good trash. It's nice, but not necessary for E-1, so I'm willing to trade it off.
