Submerge.

Take the first hit on the AC. I don’t see any way for it to survive by itself against three subs (my planes can’t hit the subs).

If I scored 1+ hit on the battleship in the first round, take the next hit on the tac (if possible), so the carrier can get more shots on the subs. As long as the battleship is whole, go with the defaults.

Attacking with 4 1’s and no air support is just asking for disaster. Sure, the odds are in your favor, but with only 1’s there’s a big chance of something going wrong. In this case, after the cruiser’s 50-50 shot failed I had 23% chance of annihilating your force, including 9% where all my units survived.

I don’t know how to roll dice in the forum, so I’ll use the in-game Roll Dice function.
