BEfore we going through your fleet. There are a couple of things i want to stress on:

1) Resources is way too high, there is no point for any nwe players to go beyond soft cap. Going beyond soft cap meaning you loss out on natrual regen, which is 1.4K resouces a day. I assume you bee over cap for a few days at least, so let say 10 days above soft cap. You are missing out on 14K of resources. This is by no mean a small amount. It is about 200 3-2 A run which is enough to boost one ship to K2 level.  Bucket is another story, you have quite a lot anyway.

2) crafting radar is very very bad idea. First they are not that useful. If you are familiar with ship loadout, you realize nearly no ship use Radar. Only CA pretty much. But CA are needed to carry night battle gear and / or type 3 shell in event. Most of time tehy will not have space for radar, Second crafting radar is very low chance and very costly on resources. Defintely ont something to do for new players. If you have to craft something, a few 46cm is going to help you much more than 1 or 2 Type 32 / 33 radar will. (plus 41cm is really weapon and enhance material, can be produced from 46 fourmla). New player should focus on crafting planes, and shellls.

3)Since we are here, might as well talk about equipment, you have 6 Reppuu which is a good start, but more doesnt hurt. You need 10 to be fully fine (because eventually you will remove 2 for quest for Reppuu 601). More bombers are neede too and Saiun. (we got a quest to remove 2 Saiun now). So I would defintely daily craft planes. You also need to find 1 more Type 91 AP shell at least. So many craft for that first, then back to planes.

4) other items are fine, most of end game stuff like 46cm t32. T33 radar are jiust luxury it is too early for you to start crafting/thinking about them.

5) Since I see Ship repair facilty, it means you have Akshi, Akashi should be K2, so she can repair 3 ships at same time, rather htan 2. Also that means item improvment. You should upgrade once a day. Top of list are 20.3 no 3(whichi  dont think you have) so 20.3 no2. 41 cm (but you dont have much 41cm to spare). 35.6 cm (a few, 2-4 not many, eventually you will use 41cm and 381 cm kai to replace them). 91 Ap shell (this is really good for new players, one screw a day and cost is cheap). Quint oxy tropedo (upgrade quad if you dont have many quint). This should keep you busy for upgrade for a while.

6) Fleet :

DD: Really lack levels and numbers, try to have at least 4 DD above 70+. and maybe 2-4 more above 50. I know it sounds hard, but they can leech in PVP, leech at 3-2A> and if you are desperate 4-3 is not that bad, you do have quite a lot of buckets to spare.

CL: You really need to train Ooi up, this should be no 1 thing on your list. Before anything else. Jintsuu and KTKm can use more levels too. Otherwise ok.

CA: I am sorry to say but this is terraible. you have 2 usable CA and tahts it. Even without considerin gship lock that is not enough. You need to get 2 CA above 50 ASAP. and i guess you dont have BP for Tone class. You need to get Mogami to 60+ at least. to have a useable CAV at the very least. This require urgen attention, even more than your DDs.

CVL: They are fine. You have a very unbalanced fleet from what i seen, these are even good enough for hard mode. good numbers and levels.

CV: On the bad side again. Only one CV is useable. TOday's Twitter stressed BB and CV will be used in event (duh!) You really need to get all the CV you have above 60 at least. Ideally 70+. Hiryuu K2. Luckily they shouldnt be too hard to train at 3-2A grind. (while DD and CA leeches)

BB: barely enough, no nagato class at all hurts, I guess just let Hiei leech at 3-2A, once you finish training CV, he should be 50+ anyway. It is about as much as you can do. There are other stuff you need to worry first.

Conclusion:

I really wish you posted much eariler or talk to people about your fleet. I felt you are going on a longer path than required. Your fleet is unbalanced to say the least. and have many weak areas.

All is not lost though, you still have 1 week and a lot of reosurces. Meaning power level is doable and with some decent grinding time. you defintely can do clear this event..

However you do need to get to work on those weak area ASAP.

Suggested 3-2A grinding setup:

CV-Hiei-CA-DD-CVL-SS

you can rotate the CA once she is fatigued to ensure clear.

Best of luck for the event.
