Sorry for the lengthy post but any help and suggestion will be much appreciated!

-Your resource count is fine (better than most people stockpile anyways), so as long as branching requirements don't screw you over, you should be able to get through most of the event.

-Most SS are irrelevant in events, but the ones to consider are Goya Kai (High Luck stat, two equipment slots for CI) and Ro-500 (only if you got U-511 in the previous Winter event).

-You haven't reached the point where your DDs can achieve Kai Ni, but as long as you have at least 5 or 6 DDs at their Kai (first remodel) and with modernized stats, you should be fine.

-Usually, you don't need too many CLs during events, but it's good to see you're raising Kitakami. At your HQ level, her opening torpedo strike may still prove useful to cleaning out trash mobs. Once she reaches Kai Ni, she'll become extremely relevant.

-CA(V)s have been seeing an upturn in relevance in events, but you usually only need 2 or 3 of them (although more is better).

-At your HQ level, you won't see too many CVs unless you're extremely lucky, so your CV/CVL roster is looking solid (although you better have good Fighter planes and lots of Bauxite, since this will probably be a CV-focused event). If you need more CVs, try constructing or dropping Souryuu or Shoukaku (they're only Gold rarity compared to the  Rainbow CVs).

-The BB roster looks solid, as long as they're remodeled and modernized they'll probably carry you through the tougher event maps. Focus more on pure BBs instead of BBVs, since the BBV's seaplane bombers and reduced FP aren't very influential.

TL;DR: Your fleet is looking fine, but we'll just have to wait and see how RNG and branching requirements will screw us over this event. Also, make sure you have some good equipment ready.
