Your fleet and resources don't look too bad imho. Though there are still a few things you can do until the event starts.

DDs: You have a number of good DDs but those won't be enough for all maps, especially if we have to go through a Transport Escort Combined Fleet.

I'd suggest you train some of the lower level DDs including Yukikaze up to around level 50. There's no nead to train them actively, just let them leech xp while training other girls by putting them in the fleet.

CL(T)s: Sendai is a solid choice and you already got your Yasen package.Yura on the other hand, as versatile as she is, is a bad CL for surface combat. I suggest to bring Isuzu to Kai Ni (Level 50) as additional preparation for an ASW map with Submarine Hime as boss. Also if you have the time and blueprint bring Abukuma to Kai Ni those next few days before the event or at least bring her to Kai Ni level and hope to get the medals for a BP during the event.

If possible try to get Ooyodo during the event for the FCF she comes with. She's usually an early map drop so it might even be worth it to take a break from the event if you get her early to level her to Kai for the FCF

Your CLTs are rather low level, but both are Kai Ni, which is nice and good enough for now. They will level by themselves while you are sortiing in the event.

CA(V)s: Maya, Haguro and Ashigara are solide choices. Maybe get Takao or Tone up to ~level 50 to use her in an early map combined fleet with Atago.

3 CAVs might not be enough depending on the enemies we encounter, but Suzuya is a great CAV and Mogami is also not bad thanks to the 11 plane slot. Kumano Kai is similar to Mogami but her plane loadout is worse than Mogami.

CVLs: No problems here, looking good.

FBBs: Also looking good with all Kongou-class at Kai Ni. Maybe you can try to get the Pasta FBBs during this event after you got Prinz.

Slow BBs: Nagato is nice at a high level, but will probably not be enough. Get Mutsu up to Kai and ~level 50. To do that it should be enough to let her leech xp in your daily pvp.

BBVs: Ise and Hyuuga are looking good. Maybe put some more levels in Fusou if you can do that.

CVs: Also looking quite good. Maybe get Akagi to Kai and remodel Hiryuu if you get the chance. After she got Taiha somewhere you'll get one free repair with the remodel.

Rest: Submarines are looking good, same for your CTs. Seaplane Tenders are rather weak with only level 40 Mizuho. You might want to level her a bit more to be on the save side and you should get Akashi to Kai before the event for the extra repair facility.

Most of the things I listed can be accomplished just by doing daily pvp with a fleet consisting of e.g. Akashi, Mutsu, Fusou, Yukikaze, 1 other DD or Abukuma/Isuzu, Akagi (fighters only to avoid huge bauxite loss and get AS/AS+ regularly).

In addition to that you can go to 3-2 with a fleet consisting of Tone/Takao FS, Mizuho (leech xp), Abukuma/Isuzu, 2 CVs (e.g. Souryuu and Akagi), SS and do some casual leveling.

The only one who would require some additional attention would be Abukuma if you want to level her before the event. Also you can still get some levels on some of your DDs by doing EO 1-5 and 2-5 before the event starts.

Your equipment is mostly fine from what I saw. Many good planes for all categories except for high level seaplane bombers and a severe lack of seaplane fighters.

Enough AP Shells and Sanshiki for hard and soft installation targets and heavy armoured enemies.

Small guns are good with 10cm HA+AAFD, 10cm, 12.7cm HA (late model) and 12.7cm Kai B but medium and large guns are a bit weak with only one 20.3cm (No.3) and only one 35.6cm Tripple Proto, but it's probably too late now to do sth against that, so you'll have to do with what you got there.

Radars and torpedoes are looking fine.

As for ASW equipment you should use your daily crafts to try and get more type 3 sonars and 2 more Type 3 Depth Charges. For a full fleet accompanied by a BBV/CLV you'll need 5 Depth Charges and 10 to 12 Sonars (10 with only 3 slot CLs, 12 if you use both CTs).

Well, that ended up being a novel again. Maybe someone else has to say more or correct me somewhere but I'll stop writing before it's getting even longer xD.

Good luck in the event o7
