First of all, you really need to start training those DDs. You need a minimum of 7 (for a TCF), and that’s assuming there won’t be shiplocks anywhere – which, given the recent introduction of Hard-only locks, is extremely unlikely. Get that Akatsuki to Kai Ni, then put Akizuki, Hatsuzuki, Shimakaze and Yukikaze on the grinder to give them as many levels as possible before the event. And, again, this is the bare minimum – you really should get more combat DDs to a proper level as soon as possible. Ayanami, Kasumi and Ooshio are all good picks.

Your CAs are also in need of some training. You should at least have all 4 Myoukou sisters at Kai Ni – and, again, this is the minimum; it’s fairly common for a combined fleet map to require 4 CAs to get decent routing, and with just the Myoukous + Maya and Choukai, you can be out of CAs in two maps.

The rest of the fleet looks OK, though I’d definitely try giving those CVLs some more levels. And you really should try crafting some more high-end planes, especially Reppu and Ryuusei Kai. Also, wasting what is arguably the game’s most valuable resources (screws) to obtain cheap, craftable equipment is silly. You have far better use for those, like main guns, AP shells and planes.
