[!] Revised version of 's comment + some additional info.

DD - Shimakaze and Yuudachi are great DD with overall stats, either you train them if you have them or get them after the event.

CL - Eventually, Abukuma will need to be recruited and remodelled into Kai Ni.

CLT - I would suggest you to get Kiso to Kai Ni for an extra 61cm Quintuple (Oxygen) Torpedo, its an ideal weapon for cut-in shipgirls.

CA - It does not matter if you have Haguro now or not. You'll need to improve the level 60~70 kanmusu to around level 80 or close. Worry about Haguro, Nachi and Choukai later after the events cuz i don't think you have the time to train up every CA stated by us. As for Aoba, Takao and Atago, they are best used on early maps to counter any shiplocking, that way you can send in your best CA in the later map.

CAV - Kumano and Suzuya have to be trained to level 70~80. Eventually, Tone and Chikuma will have to be converted and remodelled into CAV.

FBB - Fine, perhaps you want to improve Hiei and Kirishima's level a little more.

BB - Improve Mutsu level even more will suffice, this can be easily done from PVP.

BBV - Eventually, Yamashiro and Fusou will need to be remodelled to Kai NI. However, i do not recommend them to be remodelled immediately.

CV - If possible, get Shoukaku to level 88 just in case you need to remodel her.[even if you no prototype flight deck catapault.]

CVL - You will have to focus on this section more. Chitose, Zuihou and Ryuujou must be trained to level 70 and above with the exception of Ryuujou. Ryuujou needs to be remodelled to Kai Ni to be more effective so focus on her more often. If possible, get Chiyoda to join along but its unnecessary to bring her to level 70+.

[Regarding LSC and BP]

LSC and BP are not recommended when you need all the resource alot for preparation. Yamato and Musashi are not necessary needed to complete Hard if you have the resource and equipments to win a decisive battle. You only care about careful planning and decision making. That being said, BP remodelling should also be given to the most important kanmusu of the most maps so use it wisely. In this case, it would be either Fusou/Yamashiro or Shoukaku/Zuikaku.

[Equipments]

Planes are decent and the AP shells are slightly lacking, you will have to craft more planes and shells:

Fighter - A couple of Reppuu should suffice.

Dive Bomber - Craft more Suisei Model 12A

Torpedo Bomber - More Ryuusei Kai would be most welcome, they can be used for support expedition if your main fleet is full and the support expedition lacks Suisei Model 12A.

AP Shell - Craft 1~2 more should do you good.

[Akashi's section]

All Type 91 AP >>> +6

All 20.3cm (No.3) >>> +4~6

4 x 20.3cm (No.2) >>> +4

2 x 35.6cm >>> +4~Max [Eventually would be replace by 2 x 38cm +9 if you acquire Bismarck after the event]

4~6 x 41cm >>> +4 [minus one 41cm per improvement so watch the number of 41cm you have, It is best to spread out the improvement to 4~6 x 41cm (+2) rather than having 2 x 41cm (+4)]

All 61cm Quintuple (Oxygen) Torpedo >>> +6 [This might sting a little, eventually you will need 7 or 8 of these]
