Wow, your fleet is so carrier focused. I think its pretty obvious that you should focus on getting more depth in each category of ships. I personally dont consider anything under level 70 as "event-ready" (I aim for 80 or 90+) so maybe that can be your goal. I'm going to assume that Winter will be a harder medium-scale event, but you should really just plan for clearing Summer 2015 full hard.

BB: 8-10 BBs event ready. Hyuuga and Ise are, atm, subpar BBs. I would focus on getting every other BB up to par first, then working on Ise class if you still have time. Definitely get your fBBs all leveled up, since they can actually be used in the escort of combined fleets.

CA(V):4-8 CAs and 2-4 CAVs event ready. CA(V)s are generally the filler for escorts and key for installation bosses, so assuming 3 seperate locked maps, you'll want at least 6 CA(V)s. CAVs are also known for having branching rules, so at least 2 would be necessary.

CL(T): 2-4 CLs and 3 CLTs event ready. Get ABKM k2, shes undoubtably the most useful CL atm. Although her stats dont rival Jinstuu's, Sendai's, or even Kuma's, her opening torp is a huge factor in saving a potentially failed run. You should also level some dupe KTKM/Oois for extra quints and hold onto them if you have the room.

DD: 7+ DDs. both Spring and Summer have had a light fleet 1st map, where DDs and CLs are required. Also, DDs seem to have several branching rules. So i'll say youd want as many event ready DDs as possible.

Aux: Aux aren't ever requried, but there have been many cases where aux have made branching much easier. Although you don't need to level them up to 70+, i would recommend at least 50+ just in case. Definitely Akitsumaru, but I would also include Akashi, Hayasui, Chitose/Chiyoda AVs, Akitsushima, and Taigei. If you have Mizuho, she would be more important than Chitose/Chiyoda.

Equips: You have great planes and yasen gear. How do your other equips look? Although modded guns arent necessary to be sucessful in events, boy do they help. Same goes for torps. Also, Radars are undoubtably the most important equip for support expeditions. You should have enough surface radars to fill 2 full supports.

All in all, you have a very specialized fleet, but that means events that require variety will be extremely difficult for you. Imagine what devs could realistically throw at you in an event, and prepare for it. Thats how you get event ready. Although you probably will be fine for fall on med, why stop at med? Aim for full hard on every event (that's what I'm aiming for).
