Yes, there will be a server maintenance for tomoro. Hopefully, its just a small one and wont take too long
As Senjou point, check the Expedition section of the wiki to be sure that your fleet fulfill the minimum requirements (flagship's level, fleet size and fleet composition). Also remember to resupply your ships or else it will fail as well

You need to follow the minimum requirements such as your flagship level, fleet size and combination requirement for your expeditions to be 100% success.
If all ships have high morale (i.e. they are sparkling) it is possible to achieve great success, granting you 50% more resources, double experience, and may have a greater chance of receiving item rewards as well.
Here check out this english wiki page to understand what I am saying. You will never fail an expedition again. Check the conditions section posted by anons who tried out combinations that work and posted.
http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/ExpeditionAh, Houshou huh.... =3=
She may be weak since she is quite an old aircraft carrier but I too still loved her regardless. She also consumes little resources compared to all the other carriers as well...very good to use as your support carrier in your fleet but at the same time don't want to consume too much resources.
Speaking of great success. Here a chart between sparkle and not sparkle fleet

First block is Expedition 2 with 4 DD | 2nd block is Expedition 2 with 6 DD | 3rd is Expedition 4 with 2 DD & 1 CL
Next line either means fleet with or without sparkle with a sample size of 100
Next line means [Great Succecss | Bucket] for the expe2 while for expe4 is [Great Success | Bucket | Furniture Box]

Houshou is always refer as the motherly type

As nazrul90 said, the bauxite queen is a just a title. Just like Naka-chan's reputation

You consume the most bauxite when you have a disadvantage over air dominance (ex, lack of air superiority or enemy has a lot of AA guns) and your planes gets shot down
Funnily, Kaga can carry the most planes and is slightly higher fuel/ammo consumption than Akagi
