I cleared the last event with my ships at ~55 and starting with 10k all resources. I started with my ships around 20 though. I believe you should be clear to finish the event on Easy despite the panic over a large scale event.

I personally have gotten my Reppuu and Shiden Kai Ni from 20/20/10/90 and 20/60/10/110 (or 120 bauxite if you want yellow planes) with Zuikaku as my flagship. The lucky ship helps (just kidding; this is pure superstition). Don't try to rush your crafts. You might be better off just daily crafting for now. You should only spam crafts if you actually need the stuff (ie. The information from the frontliners comes out and you need a ridiculous amount to get AS).
