I don't know why people are recommending BBs. Non-Yamato class BBs are next to useless for killing the boss. They can help clear out the small fry during the day and maybe do some scratch damage, but that's about it. They will not deliver a killing blow.

Things that will kill the boss:

CLTs

Yamato-class

Good CAs (Tone, Chikuma, Myouko, or Haguro kai nis are the best, of course)

Jintsuu kai ni, maybe...

Things that won't kill the boss:

Pretty much anything else...

OK, so I have heard some people say that high-luck BBs (Haruno or Nagato, really) in a triple main gun cut-in setup can work. I haven't personally tried it, but there is some sense to it. A triple main gun cut-in is one attack at 200% and the real problem with the BB hime is overcoming her very high armor so in this case one powered-up attack is a lot better than two smaller attacks. Still, even then I don't think this kind of cut-in will be a one-hit kill, and there are other problems with deploying BBs...
