I did it in 3 attempts with Zara, Yahagi, Iso/Ura/Hamakaze and Kuroshio (flagship). Only A ranked the boss but you don't need to S rank it to unlock the next maps. On node H you don't need to kill all the chi-class either - just stop them from taking part in the torp phase and you should be fine. All your kanmusu should at least be capable of at least taking them down to chuuha single-handedly, or of killing a destroyer so they don't waste more than 1 kanmusu's turn. And even if some are left there's still a reasonable chance of making it through if your kanmusu have decent evasion. Takes a bit of luck but not too much.

Then once you get to the boss you should have AP at least and any enemy destroyers should be dead during day battle. Enemy carriers might be out of action before their second or even first turn as well. Then in night battle you should kill an enemy with every non-taiha kanmusu. Against the formations with 2 carriers you effectively get the first 3 attacks before your enemy does anything.

This isn't a guide and I was deliberately trying to do things harder than necessary (switching out one of the destroyers for Yura would likely have made it easier - I don't have Abukuma kai 2 so that wasn't an option) but it is certainly doable and to a level that I don't think I got lucky doing it in the number of tries that I did.
