Done.
You're gonna need some pretty dang good torp rolls if you're playing against a battleship player. If you're not playing against a power-gamer, though, this has the possibility to do well.
You might also try swapping one of the cruisers for the Jamaica so that you can get a +4 to initiative overall.

Well, playtested a quick solo-game against a IJN force that consisted of the following:
1x Nachi
1x Tone
1x Yahagi
4x Isokaze
So a heavy LL force...and cruisers that can easily outgun anything they BDA force could bring.
Turn 1: BDA forces set up in three groups, 2 going for bottom obj, 1 going for center. They consist of (from bottom to top) Canberra, Sydney, Arunta; Exeter, Sydney, Arunta; and finally De Ruyter, Sydney, Arunta.
IJN forces set up to go after all three objs. From bottom to top: Tone & Nachi; Yahagi & Iso; Iso & Iso; and finally a lone Iso going for North obj.
Turn 2: IJN wins initiative, Canberra is sunk by gunfire by the Nachi and Tone. Sydney #1 is sunk by LL from Yahagi. De Ruyter is crippled by gunfire from the Isos #2 & #3 going after central obj. Canberra damages Tone with gunfire and finishes her off with a lucky torpedo. Sydney #1 damages Nachi with gunfire and Arunta #1 finishes her off with another lucky torpedo. De Ruyter cripples Iso #2 and Sydney #3 finishes her off with gunfire. Arunta #2 cripples Iso #3.
Turn 3: Yahagi and Iso #1 move onto South obj. Iso #3 moves onto Center obj. Iso #4 moves onto North obj. Exeter, Sydney #2, and Arunta #2 move onto South obj, Arunta #1 moves in support adjacent. De Ruyter moves onto Center obj. Sydney #3 and Arunta #3 move to 2 spaces from North obj. Yahagi hits Exeter with gunfire and puts a LL into Sydney #2. Iso #1 cripples Exeter with gunfire and misses with LLs. Iso #3 finishes off De Ruyter. Iso #4 misses completely.
Exeter hits Yahagi with gunfire. Sydney hits Yahagi with gunfire. Arunta #1 finishes off Yahagi with gunfire. Arunta #2 misses Iso #1 completely. De Ruyter finishes off Iso #3 while going down. Sydney #3 and Arunta #3 sink Iso #4 at long range.
Turn 4: Iso #1 finishes off the Exeter with guns and sinks Arunta #2 with LLs. Exeter cripples Iso #1 in revenge, and Arunta #1 finishes her off.
BDA force wins with 1 Sydney and 2 Aruntas surviving (all unscathed)
