**Standard anti-installation doctrine applies. While FBBs can keep AP shells for APCI (for pass rate along route, amongst other things), CA(V)s should have T3 shells for bonus damage against installations. DDs in the main fleet should have anti-installation nuke set-ups to deal with the 3 Supply Princesses in the boss' main fleet.

***Boss gets slightly more difficult during LD as her escort fleet and the Supply Princesses are changed, and you will likely suffer from AD due to the increased FP, but clearing should not be too difficult compared to the pre-LD comp.

***It may be worth swapping 1 FBB's position from main to escort for LD to help with clearing the escort fleet out to ensure that you engage the boss' main fleet during the night battle, if necessary.

*Support Expeditions: Boss Support Expedition is generally useful, especially in LD where the Abyssal DDs in the escort have Opening Torpedo capability. Node Support is debatable (since it is unlikely to be effective against the Vanguard comps mentioned above), but can help somewhat with pass rate assuming those comps are not encountered.
