Oh, he certainly could.

There's nothing you >need< if we get technical but that way of thinking doesn't lead anywhere. I always take AP Shell and two good CVs, you can have both. If I want to gimp my fleet I use weaker ships but I'll always give them optimal setups.

>From the image, it looks like he entered at chuuha.
Yes, that's also what I was talking about. With Sanshiki you have pathetic ~50% chance of DA. With AP Shell you have ~70% chance of strong special attack. If your BB does single attack, it's very likely Ta will survive in chuuha or shouha depending on engagement or armor roll. Cut-in always kills or at worst disables her (in case of hankousen and bad armor roll). Single attack is also less accurate.
With chevrons, AP Shell's strength is even clearer because there's higher chance our BB will target opposing BB since more trash dies. APCI is also superior to Sanshiki vs boss in day battle (crit cut-in in pic).
AP gives advantage in first node, third node and day battle with boss. Sanshiki is better in yasen vs boss. I don't have problems choosing.

Chikuma should have finished her off.

Yes. With Sanshiki battleships suck, mere 50% double attack rate. If you give them AP Shell, it jumps to ~70% chance of special attack. It helps vs Ta/Ne on the way and on boss node because they have higher chance of killing Ru Kai, Ne-elite or transport in one shot.
If you put battleship as flagship she'll be guaranteed to start the second shelling on first node and third node, meaning you have to survive one Ta attack at most. With carriers killing two enemies on average, the chance of targeting Ta at the start of battle is decent too so you want to make sure it dies when targeted - single attack might fail to disable Ta.
The only time I caught chuuha on the way this month was during final kill, when Nu hit Ashigara for 30+ in air strike (how the fuck).

As for damage vs boss with AP Shell, see pic related. A shame that Prinz, Kaga and Shoukaku didn't crit, it would have been a day time clear.
