Early game a fleet of BBs and CVs will get get you through the early maps easily. However, for events and later maps you will need multiple high level ships in all of the different classes. Map 3-2 is espeically notorious since it only allows 1 CL and 5 DD (it used to be DD only).

You probably want a focus on leveling a couple of ships from each "main" class type (DD, CL, CLT, CA(V), BB, CV, CVL, SS). There is also no need to max them either. A ship at level 75+ is very usable on the hardest maps and ships that are level ~50+ are passable on most maps.

For leveling 3-2 is a good map for most ship types. 4-3 is good for DDs and CLs. There is a leveling guide on this wiki so you should check that out.
