In the past few months, we saw the Shokaku sisters get their second remodels, saw the introduction of new fighter variants, and got a teaser with jet engines appearing in the ranking rewards. The game will soon introduce Kasumi's second remodel, which many predict that she will have an air-air variant. This winter event is most likely going to be carrier heavy. Prepare to burn bauxite.

Looking at your fleet, I'll rate the leveling priority like this: CVL, DD, Auxillaries, CA

Your CL, CV, and BB looks fine.

CVL: Preferrably level 4 CVLs to 70 or higher. You only have one combat ready CVL. Get some more ready for branching and ship lock purposes for this carrier-oriented event.

DD: I see 1 cut-in destroyer above level 70. You need 2 at the very minimum. You probably know this, but level Yukikaze some more. I would also level Kasumi to level 50. If there is a transport mission during the event, you'll be able use that opportunity to level Kasumi there in the main fleet carrying drums.

Just as a warning: if the transport combined fleet appears again, you will probably dip into using your Mutsuki-class destroyers, due to the pressure from ship lock. I would sparkle your expedition destroyers at 1-1 in conjunction with bw1. First, to get as a big enough stockpile prior to the event. And second, to increase the experience gain your destroyers receive from expeditions.

Auxillaries: Not having Akitsumaru might hurt you a little. I would also incorporate Kashima into your PVP battles to level her up.

CA: Looks all right. Just level up your level 60 CAs a few more levels for incoming shiplocks. After the event, level up Nachi so you can do Bm1.

Focus on stockpiling after training your CVL and high luck DD with a 1.5 fuel, 1 ammo, 1 steel, and 0.8 bauxite ratio for this event.
