I feel like using the fog ships is a good way to get experience with ships of Yamato-class, and knowing how to use them properly. Since boss gauge doesn't regen, you can take it easy when it comes to clearing the event maps. I took it easy myself and cleared within the first 2-3 days (granted I burned 10k~ fuel on E-2 and E-3 combined, not solo but hey I'm done now).

Having Takao around makes later regular areas where heavy cruisers are needed even easier, such as 4-3 and 4-4. She played a great role for me on those maps.

tl;dr manage your resources well and fog ships won't hurt to field if you level them to 30ish; I have both my fog Haruna and Takao at 50 by now while Iona is 60. I sparkle them too, that could be why.
