Notes:

-Boss Support Expedition was always used

-Bismarck and Mutsu were switched for Yamato and Musashi for the final kill, with Yamato and Musashi both equipped with 51cm Prototype + 46cm and otherwise an identical set up.

- I took a liking to that Yuubari set-up... Her cut-in rate was fairly high (I'm guessing around 60%-75%), though they were not necessarily all that powerful.

- Normally I would have Ayanami as the flagship for increased torpedo cut-in chance, but due to the fact I wanted to have 2 destroyers able to escort damaged ships away, I couldn't have her as the flagship. However, her performance was perhaps the best out of the escort fleet.
