In case anyone decided to level ships because of the recent rumors, the official twitter said something more detailed about the "水上打撃部隊" (lit. surface strike group) and will be made up mainly of BB and CA. Whether BBV or CAV will work or if it'll require slow BB are unknown. As for DD, 駆逐隊 remains in the tweet, and an interview from Dec2014 Comptiq mentions " 鍛え上げた駆逐艦が重要となるシチュエーションも発生する" which means "there will be a situation where well-trained destroyers are important"

Now for my own speculations based on these tweets, interview, the timing of Fusou Kai-2, and historical Operation Kon is that BBV will work and slow BB may be required. As for a DD-only map, the wording 駆逐隊 leads me to believe that there will be a map that will require a fleet of destroyers only, for example, CL+5DD is called  水雷戦隊 and not 駆逐隊, although 駆逐隊 acting as escorts is also possible because they did that too. For the mention of "well-trained destroyers", maybe it'll be the extra map like spring E-5 or summer E-6.

As for whether you should act on these speculations is up to you. I personally find it enjoyable to use hints on twitter to decide on what to do next such as leveling Ushio to my guess of Lv75 in preparation for the remodel. If you're the type who prefers to wait for confirmed information, then I suggest you just stock up on resources and not start participating in the event until around Sunday when there will already be walkthroughs on how to clear the event maps. Stockpiled resources can be used to powerlevel required ships within the two-week event period anyway.
