Seconded that Ayanami should be levelled. Upgrade the 20.3cm (no.X) ASAP. More reppuu and ryuusei (kai) may help, but getting T32/33 radar should be your current development focus. Bring Kumano up to Suzuya's level. Kiso preferable but not compulsory since the last event was shiplocked the hell out of CLTs where they would have mattered the most.

Bring Ooyodo up to 80 as soon as possible, and try to get 3x t3 sonar and 1x t3 depth charge, as it is extremely likely that Fall event will have a difficult sub, possibly a heavy-sub map with a submarine hime boss, given all of their recent hints. And make sure you don't shiplock her against anything else but the submarine boss.

Chitose and Junyou Kaini are important, especially Chitose as she's Fast. Raise Ise Kai to lvl 70/80 and prepare 4x >> Zuiuns for her. If you can get Akitsumaru equipment it'll be good, but if you don't have her don't LSC for her at this point. Ise-classes are the support shelling expedition's backbone as they have low resource usage, and for the extremely likely anti-submarine warfare map, she'll be your anchor as YamashiroK2's resource usage is too high to be efficient.

Raise Akashi to Kai, as this will increase her upgrade success rate and give you an additional repair dock slot. This slot will help manage bucket costs if you plan well during the event, as unlike normal repairs, you can do partial repairs with Akashi.

Finally, make sure you have at least resource cap (~27k each resource), and Fuel/100 buckets - that is, if you have 28k fuel, 280 buckets as a minimum. Preferably, 50k each resource and ~ 500 buckets going into the event. Do dev first and do resource accumulation only in the last few days so you don't lose the natural resource regen.

This is for you to clear Hard in Fall 2015 btw. Your current fleet should already be more than capable of Medium.
