In terms of survivability...

if you're using vanguard formation, the 4th-7th ships will aggro more of the enemy attacks.

With that in mind, Mogami's position is better swapped with Tone because of her low levels and consequently low evasion. It should improve your survivability in the preboss nodes somewhat.

I'll be somewhat contentious and further suggest placing all the squishy ships into slots 1-3 and let your heavier ships tank the aggro + hopefully get that evasion boost. In your case that'll be Mogami and the 2 DDs, which I assume are the ones getting taiha-ed frequently in your case. Most folks will advise you otherwise though.

In terms of fuel economy...

your support expeditions are the ones draining the fuel. Your choice to cut off the exp to get more chances at sortieing, or to continue burning fuel and hopefully clear the boss. I didn't use any support exp for clearing e4e. YMMV on this one.

On clearing the boss herself...

any chance to K2 the fusou sisters? It'll help.
