LSC when you are preping for event is a big no no, don't bother about it. Besides, you have 4 Maruyus already, that is plenty for level grinding.

Your fleet looks okay, tho your DDs, CV(L) and CAs lack just a tad bit of level, try to get them past 80, You'll want at least 8DDs 4CAs (Not including CAV just in case of routing) 4CVs and 4CVLs above 80.

I'm surprised that your Akizuki isn't 80+, her AACI is the best out of all the ships that focus AACI (Maya is stronger I know, but her activation chance is lower than Akizuki)

Equipment upgrade wise, I don't really recommend upgrading 12.7cm guns of any kind at all just because DDs are mainly used for AACIs or Torp CIs but don't worry, what's done is done, just don't bother about them now.

Prioritise getting at least 4 41cm cannons to +4, 4 35.6cm to +6, 20.3 No.3 to +4 (If you can) and any quint 61cm Torps as further as you can push, they do comsume 3 screws each time so it will definately hit you hard. Also slowly but gradually upgrade the 20.3 No2 to +6.

Finally, your weakest point, Your Resources.

For hard clear, it really depends on how RNG decides to treat you. But generally speaking, You'd want at least 150k Fuel, 100k Ammo, 100k Steel and 50k Bauxite. Remeber, At Least  that much is needed to clear, there no guarenting this amount will actually allow you to clear, so stockpile up as many as you can.

Good luck to you~
