Cleared E-7 Medium and my ship lock challenge for this event a while ago, despite having so few resources when I started:

The ship lock challenge required me to use different ships for every map, which forced me to use a few ship girls outside of my main combat ships, though most of them were decently leveled. In total, 77 ship girls were deployed - only ones out of my main fleet who didn't get to sortie were Sendai, all submarines except Iku, Kiso, and all sorts of other special ships like AV and Katori. The fact that the number stayed so low goes to show that even 7 maps can be cleared with the same challenge even when under the restriction of having only 100 ship slots (though it would be a pain for sure).

E-7 Medium, aside from occasional compass trolling, went by without too much trouble. I didn't keep a track of my total number of sorties, but my fleet reached the boss consistently with CTF and kept dealing good damage. Last kill where the boss was in A-form (the one with 390 armor) took 2 tries - one with a STF that ended up in failure and one with CTF that was a success. I admit, I had some amazing luck with that last kill though. Prinz Eugen was the one to deliver the final blow.

Total resource consumption for E-7 was around these numbers: 29k / 22k / 17k / 7k + 110 buckets. I kept both support expeditions running for the whole time.
