If there is a ship lock, you'll probably have to use a 7th and maybe a 8th DD - I suspect this will be a DD heavy event considering how many DD there were in this operation historically and the fact there will be a ASW map. Though who knows really? That is just what I'm speculating. In general though, it would be better to have a few more event-ready DD, but low level DD can suffice in easier maps, so you are not really "screwed". DD can be grinded fairly fast anyway, if need be.

Akitsu Maru... There was some historical basis for why Akitsu Maru was useful for branching in some event maps? Something about landing and such? Well, I don't really know, maybe someone who knows naval battle history better than I can provide better speculation on whether Akitsu Maru would be useful or not. Akitsu Maru Kai's equipment might be nice in the ASW map though... Probably not necessary however.

It would be good if you had 2 or 3 more CV in the fleet, but since this is a mid-scale event, that might be just about enough. Do be prepared that you'll have to use a 4th CV during the event though.

Your CA(V) and BB should be just about fine... Do you have any slow BB and BBV by the way?

Your resources are plenty, no need to worry on that end.
