Don't really know why, but from most of the ship prep lists i've seen people are very underprepared in terms of BB's and CV's.

Levelling - 

Your CA and CAV are fine for easy. CL and CLT's are also good - get Abukuma to K2 (if u have a blueprint - extremely useful in early maps :) )

AV's are extremely well levelled - though they don't do too much in combat. Get Akashi to Kai, and then use Akashi's arsenal to improve your 35.6cm Red's or 20.3(2) or 20.3(3) cm, and AP shells to 6 star or above.

Get at least 2 FBB's for backup in addition to your 2 main K2 FBB's. They don't have to be K2, but at least Kai form at level 50+.

Your DD's need a tad more levelling. Typically you will need around 6 level 50 dd's. Good to see that your are going to K2 your current DD's - Hibiki and Fubuki. Get a 6th level 50 dd (doesn't really matter which one you choose)

Right now, i would advise boosting your CV department. 2 CV's isn't enough to secure air superiority - especially in a carrier task force. If possible, get 2 more CV's and get to Kai form, though they can be substituted with CVL's if you want (at the loss of lower plane count). It's ok if you try to get a CV through construction (e.g. Kaga) but don't try to spam, because you willl drain resources fast - Sufficient Resources > Ships when near event.

Equipment -

- Get at least 10 good ish quality bombers - preferrably Suisei 12A but since it's easy u can substitute them with Suisei (though not advised).

- Recent events are focused more on Ryuusei - especially with introduction of LBAS. Advised you get 10 Ryuusei (or Ryuusei Kai) because you need to fill your CV's(L) in addition to your 1-4 Landbases. Ps - you'll get lots of Ryuusei's using the recipe below anyways - but i would not advise substituting with Tenzan - unless you are desperate.

- Get at least 4 AP shells.

- Aim to get at least 6-8 Reppuu minimum. I know this might be a lot - but it's important considering that you lack CV's to secure AS/AS+. They're pretty easy to craft - i used 20/60/10/100 - but there's many different recipes :)
