I think you will be fine at least halfway through the event on easy.

Unlike most beginners, you have a very good fleet of DD/CLs for a first-timer, lacking BBs and CVs would be a problem for you, but they are easier to train anyway.

About Taigei, keep her. And keep her as a Sub Tender unless you get a second one.

You can try medium on E1 or E2 if frontliners report that they are easy, in order to acquire better rewards.

I think it would be too late to do any training and shipbuilding (but not equipment crafting) now, as the event is just 5 days away. Forget about the softcap and stock some resource. You will also need to take your time on clearing the event, only start your sorties when all intels are nearly at our hands.

Good luck on getting that HMS girl, it won't be easy for you, but don't give up just yet..
