E-3 cleared in 5 tries (insanely lucky huh?) Never get heavily damaged on the way before boss node.

HQ LV 105

Fleet composition is Akitsumaru 1FBB 1BBV 1CAV 1CA 1CV + 1BB 1CLT 1CAV 1CL 2DD

Equipment and LoS can be found in the picture below.

Akitsumaru makes everything WAY EASIER even though she's only LV 30+ at the time I started the sortie. 2BB 2CA on the first fleet and 1CLT is there just to make sure my fleet wouldn't get thrown into the maelstrom (only Akitsumaru might be enough tho). Plus, Akitsumaru can carries Reppu, with Kaga, that's enough to get the air advantage on preboss node. With my main fleet engage first via surface combine fleet, this was really easy, Bismarck and Yamashiro blew a hole through everything except for the Senkan sei-ki.

Yamato and Kitakami were able to finish the boss in night battle with no real problem as well. No support expedition used.
