It's not even that bad imo, cleared it on 1st try. I prepared for each point you struggled with there.

As a rule of thumb, don't stress yourself out over getting specific useless ships for one-time quests, just do the quests as they drop.

Equipping Turbine+Damecon pretty much guarantees Michishio will reach Boss Node even w/o level, mod, or sparkles. Expecting the worse, you should put full ASW on Shigure so she can one-shot the sub if it appears on boss node (and exactly that happened on my run). Applies to first node as well.

Personally I had enough experience to know about the subs sponging up your BBV's shots, so I put an Obso seaplane on Fusou instead. Kept the Zuiuns on Yamashiro/Mogami since I wanted to make sure I didn't get Air Denial. I figured I would survive even if I missed one BB/CAV shelling.

The one thing I forgot to do was switch up the lineup order so Fusou would get the guaranteed surface attack on the second round in case Shigure failed to OHKO, and also forgot to put Shigure before Yamashiro so she could at least 2-shot the sub so Yamashiro gets at least one guaranteed surface attack. And voila, sub appears first node, Shigure fails to one-shot, so Yamashiro wastes both attacks, but only Michishio is chuuha; fired at twice, dodged the second shot.

In the end she did't even need the damecon. I could have proceeded even if someone had managed to hit her with that eva boost. I could also have sparkled, or used preboss support if I wanted to make sure I succeeded.

Perfecting your setup and thinking ahead helps a lot, especially when routing is already guaranteed.
