I've listed some advice below in areas i believe can be improved in your fleet. Note that the minimum levels below are just soft guidelines. Though the level recommendations may be harsh, it will greatly improve your ships's performance and prevent pre-emptive sortie Taihas - making it easier for you in events.
 * In response to Eetere's comment, you only need around 1-2 Akizuki class dd's past level 70 in an event. You can choose to Kai the 3rd DD if you need more 10cm HA+FD guns.
 * Try to Kai Ni Abukuma as soon as possible, as she is a high priority ship. Her Minisub + Daihatsu/Anti-Installation ship/TP gauge depletion abilities makes her a versatile ship. Especially useful on Easy mode since you can use her in all maps.
 * Get approx 4-6 CA's ready, preferably Myoukou class (high FP) and all above level 80. On this note, remember to improve 20.3(3)cm guns, to increase accuracy and dmg.
 * Your CAV's are critically weak. Get at least 2 to level 70, and 2 more at least to level 50 - in case of shiplocking. If possible, get all 4 to level 80 to prevent having to tow weaker ships in events.
 * Get Chitose and Chiyoda to min lv 70. Recent events have utilised "fast" CVL's in routing, so it's best to level these 2 ships. Their stats are also very strong, and have good armour+HP.
 * Level 2 of each class - BB and BBV to minimum level 60. However, i would recommend getting them to at least level 80. If possible, try to BP the Fusou class to get higher tier equipment, i.e. the 41cm Proto + Zuiun M12.
 * Get at least 6 CVs above level 70. Your top 4 should be at least level 80 and above, since they are used in combined fleets.
 * Kai at least one of your AV's. The auxiliary classes are a neglected class by newer players, but in are very important in events - for special routing purposes, and are strong in certain areas. Probably would recommend getting Mizuho to level 40-50 - she also has a minisub ability like Abukuma.
