Some of the more important things ways that morale may change are:
 
* +1 for an S-Rank (flawless or not), less one for every rank below S

* +10 for being the MVP of a battle

As such, it is possible to see that being the flagship and MVP for each battle in a sortie comprising of two battles will grant 10+10+3+3-15 = 11 morale, plus up to 2 more if those battles are S-rank.

1-1 sparkling

1-1 sparkling is as basic as sparkling gets, take your desired sparklee (I'm inventing this word, fight me), equip her with the longest range equipment you have, add on some level 1 DDs, and send her to 1-1 to do both nodes. 1-1 can be used to sparkle any ship in the game.

DDs tend to have a slightly harder time here because of their tendency to have their MVP stolen (short range) or take scratch damage, fortunately, there is an even more efficient way to sparkle DDs.

1-5 sparkling is far more efficient than 1-1 sparkling, by going to three nodes, you can increase your morale gain to 24 morale for 3 nodes, more than double the morale for a 50% increase in cost. More importantly, A node's submarine becomes a Ka-elite past HQ 80; this means that ships will find it difficult to kill unless fitted out with ASW gear. This in turn makes it easy to ensure that your flag gets MVPs.
