You should always try to do events; Doesn't matter how far along in the game you are! Events drop exclusive ships and (usually) reward you nice equipments. Just try to get as far as you can in the event.

Easy mode has no ship locking, so you don't need as many ships. Ideally want level 50+. Kai'd ships+modernized at the very least for first couple maps.

BB & CV: Levels are fine.

CL: Level Jinstuu

CAV: Level Mogami

CA: Level Ashigara and Choukai. Find Maya and level her.

DD: I'm surprised at Shimakaze and Akatsuki's levels. They're very high, which is good. Level Hibiki and Yukikaze if you have time. Transport fleets may require even more DDs, so get as many DDs to kai as possible.

CLT: Leveling CLTs can be hit or miss depending on the event and whether devs give CLTs favorable routing. Get them to 40s, perhaps?

I think your main issue is lack of good equipment. You need Type 3 shells (3), Type 91 AP shells (2), surface radars (you can get many from kai'ing ships; no need to craft!), Reppuus or Shinden K2s (green planes), and RSKs (blue planes). If event has sub nodes, you will need to craft more ASW equipment (sonars/depth charges).

I can't guarantee thatt you will complete the entire event. However, I have seen people with lower leveled ships beat past events. If you take time to plan things out, completing the event is possible.
