To be completely honest, i dont think you are ready for full hard clear. Generally speaking you need lv 70+ ships at least for hard, perferbally 80+ for last 1-2 maps.

BB: Kongou class is fine, but you lack high level slow BB for ultimate fight. Musashi is only 51, and Nagato i s70, while Mustu is at 57. you want all 3 to be above 80. It is good you K2 both Fusou and Yamashiro, however they are not as good as Nagato class as they have lower armor and HP. In the end, in the last map, if a combined fleet is used, you would want to use Yamato class BB then Nagato class. But your levels in them is not high enough.

CV: Same as BB, you want all CV to be above 80 (apart from Unryuu class, they are weaker and need BP to Kai). And speically Taihou + Kaga are the best 2 CVs in the game. You dont have enough levels in them, speically Kaga. Akagi and Zuikaku is low as well. 6 CV is minimal requirement for Hard full clear to counter ship lock. Ideally you have 7-8 CVs.

CVL: RJ Hiyou and Junyou is good. Zuihou although high level is a weaker CVL. But still counts, that makes 4 CVL. Passable. You do lack Chiotse/Choyoda. But not critical.

CA: You have no Myoukou class K2 which is going to hurt you a lot. Kinugasa class is just weaker compare to Myoukou K2. (Check the stats on wiki yourself). Even we ignore the class problem, you only have 2 CA above 70, which is veyr lean. Even when we drop the line to 65. You only have 6 CA. thats just pass. You want 6 CA to be above 70 atleast, ideally 8. (4 Myoukou class, Choukai, Maya then any 2 of your choices)

CAV: yeah you are completely screwd here. no Tone class at all. Even Mogami class you only have 1 above 60. You really need 4 CAV for hard for ship lock. 2 tone class + 2 Mogami class is general rule. (all above 70). And you should Kai Mikuma ASAP, bec her Kai version give you a no 3 cannon. (the best CA,CLT,CL cannon in the game)

CLT: fine.

CL: You only have 1 CL above 70, Abukuma. Missing levels in Jintsuu and Ooyodo.

DD: Ok since you didnt list whicih ones you have, i cant  comment. But general rule is you need 8 above 70. With Ayanami/Yukikaze abov e80 for final combat. (bec of their high luck cut in attack)

Resources wise, short on Ammo. And i dont know how much buckets you have, you should have 500+ at least for hard full clear. With 1000 buckets been ideal.

On top of oall of these,

your items wil make a huge difference in hard. You need 8 Reppeu at least in hard. 4 AP shell. 5 Type 3 shell.

Numerous 41CM (with modifciation) and 46 cm. Some Type 32 radar. Some ASW gear. and so on.

You also need to have modification on items to makae them more powerful

Sorry to say this, but i wouldnt attempt a full hard clear wiht what you have.

It is possible to do it if you really want, but you probabaly need to prepare for a lot of retries and use sparkle to help your fleet.

Just my view, take it with a grain of salt.

Good luck in the event!
