hopefully you don't face that much aerial power (or none if you stick to south half) but I mostly used them for pre-emptive strikes.

You do *not* need the expedition fleet but running 2DD/2CVL don't cost much to deploy and usually kill 1-2 ships before the torpedo goddesses turn.
Every extra bit helps and reduce the overall cost of the operation.
They did show up with a 100% rate (6 times) but I sparkled the CVLs by running them solo through 1-1 every 2 sorties, which costed pretty much nothing by itself.

Tbh it was more a luxury than a real necessity but given the game nature, I'd rather spend an extra bit and ensure a total victory (cf attached screenshot).
