You're a beginner yes? I hate to say it, but you're woefully underequipped. You definitely want some Type 3 Shells to have a chance of being able to complete the boss node. I would say it's your only reasonable chance at clearing it.

Thankfully, this event lasts two weeks. Use that time to craft 10/90/60/30 for Type 3 Shells.

Also try to unlock if you already haven't and complete quest B40: http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Quests#B40

It rewards you a single Type 3 Shell, and the requirements are reasonably light for a beginner.

Finally, your equipment setup is all over the place. Read up on this guide and try to imitate it with whatever you have.
