If you're on Easy, don't even bother ranking your planes, it's not mandatory. I cleared Last Dance on 1st try with unanked LBAS/Aerial/Aerial support wiping the 2 DD escort and BB Hime, disabling CVHime and chuuha A.DDHime and Central. After day battle, only Central was left standing at taiha, and it was easy picking.

You're not going to sink her before the battle starts like in E6. If you take out the 2 DDs and at least 1 between BBHime and A.DDHime (and shoot down all the planes from CVHime, but that's a given if you set up your LBAS and CVs correctly and have an Akizuki class/Maya AACI), the boss node becomes a cakewalk. You can scratch Central to chuuha from full health in day battle, since she has a ton of HP.
