You would have been better served to make your own thread for this, but there's no helping it now...

Before I go too far, I suggest you check out this event preparation Infographic I found awhile back. Pretty much everything I have to say will be based off of it: https://infograph.venngage.com/publish/b3055fbb-b256-4ea1-bf15-cee244b251ad

General Fleet For your general fleet, your position is... okay, but *ONLY* for Easy Mode. You *MAY* be able to get by on a couple of early maps on Medium (you must be HQ 35+ for this however) given that you have some K2 ships...

This being said, you have a variety of ships and so should have enough to not worry about composition problems.

Since you do have some time and you asked what you should level up, I would focus on leveling Mogami and/or Kumano as you only have one CAV. After that, put some work into Kitakami and Ooi, as Torpedo Cruisers are almost always nice-to-haves. After that, see about getting more of your Historical ships leveled up as well. Speaking of...

Historicals Your historical ships are in an abysmal state. While the ships you are lacking are either unbuildable (most of those DDs) or are rare drops (Zuikaku), the ones you do have are very low-level. To be clear, if you're going Easy Mode, any routing requirements based on Historical Formations will be significantly reduced...however, the Devs often give Historical ships some sort of damage boost that makes using them attractive.

Also, even though the devs have made it clear that Musashi is not a requirement, now is as good a time as any to try and get her. Right now, her drop-rate has been increased for those that don't have her yet.

Equipment You have a lot of 'useless' gear taking up space such as 14cm and 15.2cm Single gun mounts, the T99 Dive Bombers and T97 Torp. Bombers. Try and craft more Ryuusei Kai (Blue) and Suisei Model 12A (Red).

Equipment that you are sorely lacking are Seaplane Fighters and Land-Based Attack planes.

Seaplane Fighters can really only be acquired by upgrading T0 Recon Seaplanes via Akashi (this is resource and screw intensive though).

You can build LBAS planes through normal crafting. Set a CV as your secretary and use this recipe:  240 Fuel / 260 Ammo / 10 Steel / 261 Bauxite. You are going to want 2-4 of these (I would say 8...but that's my personal preference).

Overall I will be clear, I do not think you will be able to clear the event...especially not knowing your resources or buckets you have available...however, I do think that you should at least try. Even if you don't complete the event, you stand to gain quite a few rare and/or Event-Only ships and gear, which that alone is often worth the attempt.

I hope this helps.
