If you're interested in clearing hard mode, duping key ships to use for shiplock is very handy too. Imagine 2 Nagato K2 to throw touch at whatever map you want. Or 2 Abukuma like you did. This event was a mess with historical bonuses so many people have trouble with locked ships.

I don't do that because I like having only 1 of each ship, so I have to settle with using weaker ships like Unryuu-class for E3.

I said ringed ships is not mandatory, but can be quite useful, especially cases like high-luck DD/CA/CL. Ringed ships have their luck increased by 4 - 6, so it save you some Maruyu luck-modding. I ringed Kitakami, Kasumi and Abukuma for this reason (but I also like them a lot too, so no problem here)
