Yeah, I've ran the boss fight last dance all day and there's no way to get even close if you're geared to survive the nodes on the way (used both 1xFBB 2xCA(V) 2xDD 1xCV and no BB with a third CA(V)). The LBAA in particular is completely ineffective against the boss, and her fighters/AA utterly destroy bombers resetting veterancy, even with two fighter wings along for escort. I'm down to trying to use the LBAA for AA and free up one ship from AACI duty. There's no way to get around the OASW ship though, even vanguard formation doesn't protect from the sub.

In the boss fight the only way for the CA's to survive hits without taiha is using the vanguard formation, which of course shitters up your support. Either there's some gimmick I'm missing, or the only way is to rely on blind luck in a night battle with at least the airfield hime still alive along with the boss.
