I'll leave some feedback on your guide. This is a pretty nice guide on how you beat the map and will probably help TTK's that want a little more info. While this is mostly pointed torward easy mode, there are some things I'd like to point out to help you for later maps/events.

Your Equipment section needs help. It would seem you equipped what you had at hand and many of those setups actually are detrimental to your sorties and would hurt at harder difficulties.

1) "Green Shell or Sanshiki are only useful vs Installation-type enemies, none of which made an appearance this event. If you equipped them for the Anti-air stat, there are much much better Hi-Angle or AA-guns available.

2) Your CV's only need 1 Saiun and 1 Type 2 Recon plane at most. Having 2 type 2's is lowering your potential opening strike or fighter power requirements. Also in the case of vs an Installation (none this event) make sure you research which planes work well or don't work against those types.

3) AACI setups on DD's are wasted unless you have a -Zuki class and 10CM+AAFD setup. If you lack Akizuki, Teruzuki, and Hatsuzuki you're better off just putting 2 High Angle DD guns and Radar/Torpedo/Star Shell/Searchlight instead.

-ps, is the 12.7 on Akatsuki the 12.7 Late Model? If it's not and it's a red gun, she will not be able to AACI.

4) And lastly, Support Expeditions do not take into account Sanshiki or AP Shell (green+ Red shell) Bonus damages and only take their stats into account. Because of this 2 BB+ 2 CV(L)+ 2 DD is the best setup for Support Shelling as CV(L) hit easy damage cap and have lower consumptions. The only things that you want to have on support shelling is High damage guns and Accuracy.

Nice read and good luck to your future endeavors!
