Could this event be the Pearl Harbor mission? Devs did stated about planes being important this summer event. Pearl Harbor was this Spring's E6 and E7. The IJN didn't have to engage enemy carriers during Pearl Harbor, but we do, and there's a LOT of them.

So I would say that Spring E6 and E7 are not Attack on Pearl Harbor, it's just another random if-operation. Technically Spring E6 and E7 is loosely based on the Attack of Pearl Harbor, in the "what if we had to recapture Pearl Harbor on behalf on USN" flavor. Even to this day I'm still baffled how the High Command managed to get the permit to perform such an operation. Arc, they are allowed do this because in the parallel universe, USN found that their truly enemy is not IJN anymore but instead an alien (or * putting  whatever   Tanaka would like to use as a saltbag for TTK*) which were invading their country and have a bigger threat.

(So, le me XCOMfags again...) I don't think having a common enemy is good enough of a convincing factor to let the operation to be (seemingly) fully entrusted to Admirals in command of IJN-majority fleet girls.

We don't know what happened to America in the meantime, but this operation probably wouldn't had happened to fall upon us if USN fleet girls were at the height of their power. Sure, it could be excused by whatever fan-made speculations being thrown around. Either way, having us to take care of recapturing of Pearl Harbor is one of the major sign that there is a serious trouble somewhere in the oceans around the American continent.
