Something what I'd like to ask, has the fact that there is no ship lock in this event changed your playstyles? While it is definitely not guaranteed, the ship lock may have become a thing of the past now, making having large, balanced fleets a less useful thing today. Of course, there is still worth to having a wide-variety of ships available and there is always a possibily that the ship lock will make it's appearance again in the future, so large fleets are not without worth yet, but the chance for being able to use that large fleet has become lower. Has this affected your decisions, on something like who to bring to PvP and such?

Personally, I like having a large fleet availabe and I also like many of the ship girls a lot, so I still train my lower leveled ship girls through PvP to always have a more balanced, reliable fleet at my disposal. However, with the ship lock not being present in this event, I have now grown to prefer using my favourite, higher leveled ship girls on PvP instead of the more lower leveled ones. For example, I've been training Shoukaku through PvP for a long time, sometimes maybe using her in less difficult maps like 5-4 or 2-5 (when going with heavy fleet) when I occasionally do them. She is now level 72 and I'd still like her to have 8 more levels or so. However, I have now started using my level 83 Zuikaku in PvP instead, as I like her much more and she is one of my favourite ship girls in the game and I'd love it if she reached level 99 one day so I could marry her (not a denier of polygamy). As I now see it as potentialy less useful to have ship girls like Shoukaku at higher level, I have now chosen to level my already high level, more liked ship girls instead (though this is not always the case, I still do train some of my lower leveled ships who are at level 75, or so).

Short answer: It has changed my playstyle somewhat. Through PvP I still train my lower leveled ship girls to have a large, balanced fleet, but have now chosen to at times use my already high level, favourite ship girls instead. Before, I'd have only used the lower leveled ship girls in PvP.
