Im only going to touch on the essentials, since we don't have too much time until the Summer Event comes. Anything that I don't touch on means that you are looking good in those areas. Since this event is said to be smaller than the previous one, we can expect to see 5-6 maps. I'll be numbering these based on priority, with #1 being the most urgent.

1. DDs. You are really lacking in this area. You only have a few easy-event-ready DDs. You should aim to get at least a total of 12 DDs at Level 50. This is the bare minimum, and I would recommend Kai-2 for Yuudachi and Ushio since they have relatively low levels for their Kai-2.

2. CAs. Also an area that is very weak. Having only 3 viable CAs will make this event incredibly tough. You should aim for a total of 4 more CAs to at least level 50. Kai-2 Kinugasa because its only an extra 5 levels and you get a nice gun from her.

3. '''CAVs+BBVs. '''In events, CAVs are often found to be interchangable from CAs and paired with BBVs. You are lacking in both areas. I recommend to use the blueprint that you have on Chikuma, and get Mogami to match Suzuya's level. Also train Hyuuga to at least level 50. At Kai, she is better than Fusou.

4. ASW. This event has been rumored to need ASW. You should craft more Type 3 ASW equipment to ensure that you can get through the Submarine Princess (Im assuming that she will come back. I've fought her without Type 3 on easy in Fall 2015, and I never got past her.) This equipment is cheap to craft, so try and get at least 8 Type 3 sonars and 4 Type 3 DCPs total.

5. CVLs. You have 2 good CVLs, but 4 is the minimum requirement for medium/hard events. Train Hiyou+Zuihou/Shouhou to level 45 and you'll be fine.

6. Planes. I'm going to assume that the LBAS event-mechanic will make a return. Though you can survive an easy event without 3-star planes, you'll have a much easier time getting past maps and enemy CV with Reppuu/Ryuusei/Suisei 12A. Try to get as much as you can without killing your resources.

Since you said Sendai is K2, don't worry about your CLs. Everything else that I didn't talk about is strong, and will be enough for easy mode. Good luck in the Summer 2016 Event.
