Even the notoriously rare Prinz Eugen shows up as a drop every 2-3 events...meaning she's rare because she tends to have a low drop-rate, not because she doesn't show up as a drop.

Seriously, if you want some of these rarer ships, then you need to prepare for events (I suspect the next one will be in April/May timeframe), make a note of what ships are available and where they drop. This information becomes available within a day or three after an event starts (thanks Frontliners!).

On the "Info" tab, there is a collapsable menu that shows all "Event-Only" ships, and does a reasonably good job of showing who is available in the event.

On each individual map tab, there is a drop-list that shows all "rare" ships (whether they are event-only, LSC or just hard to get as a general thing) that can be found on that particular map, what node they drop on and the drop-rate (how likely you are to get that ship).

What this means for you, is that you need to prep your resources in buckets well in advance of an event and wait a few days before starting so you can see who drops where and plan to farm accordingly.
