You don't need specific ships in the sense that you must have, say, Nagato or Haruna, but you will need to have certain class combinations for routing purposes. Low level ships and poor equipment will make it vastly harder to do a lot of the maps, but the bigger problem is that you just won't have the resource stockpile necessary for some of them.

But that's okay! You'll surely be able to do a few maps. I cleared 3 maps back in Novemeber and I started playing DURING the event. I know someone who started the same day as me and cleared E-4. So you'll definitely be able to participate and should be able to get some of the rewards, just don't plan on clearing everything, because it almost certainly won't be possible.
