I agree with the above comment. Here's mine:

DDs: around 7 - 9 minimum. On medium and above difficulty, you may need 15 - 20 DD. With what you have, I recommend K2 all those:

High firepower DD: Yuudachi, Shimakaze, Akatsuki, Asashio K2 (if you don't convert to K2D)

TCI: Yukikaze, Shigure, Ayanami

ASW: Satsuki, Asashio K2D (maybe Fumizuki if you want)

Daihatsu carrier: Kasumi (<<< highly recommended, personally I choose K2 over K2B), Michishio, Verniy/Hibiki (Satsuki and Fumizuki can be reserve)

For AACI at beginner level, Kasumi, Satsuki and Fumizuki's is easy to get than 2 Akigun + air radar on a random DD (of course they're weaker). Get Akizuki class in event if you can.

That should be enough for a mix of Easy/Medium event maps in the near future. Don't be afraid to use a Kai max mod DD (non K2) for easier maps if needed. All those I listed do not require BP/Action Report.

CL: Many good options but generally only need 1 each fleet so just focus on the most useful:

Sendai K2 for her night battle gear.

Isuzu K2 for ASW.

Do daily construction for Abukuma, K2 her with your 1st BP if you don't plan to use it on your waifu. Generally you'll use Abukuma over everyone in event.

In the future, Yura K2 is a good investment too, but she require a BP (and an expansion slot) and high-end equipments to shine.

CA: K2 Maya for the most powerful AACI ingame first. K2 all 4 of the Myoukou sisters (Myoukou, Haguro, Ashigara, Nachi). Leveling CA take times so if needed, substitute Takao and Atago for Ashigara and Nachi. Myoukou can do TCI with a skilled lookout so she is the most important of the 4.

CAV: Level Mogami and Kumano (don't need K2 for the time being). Find Mikuma and Suzuya if you can. Level Tone/Chikuma to prepare them for K2; they need BP but have good equipments for beginner. Even if you don't have the BP yet, they work well as CA for easy maps.

CLT: Kitakami, Ooi and Kiso to K2. Don't skip any of them.

CVL: Chitose, Chiyoda to K2 right away, Ryuujou and Zuihou later. Consider leveling Shouhou too, fast CVLs are never enough. K2 Jun'you take less priority because she's slow, but net you a free Reppuu and she's very powerful.

CV: Level everyone you have now (though it will take long before you can K2 your Zuikaku/Shoukaku). At least focus on Akagi, Kaga and K2 Souryuu. Find Hiryuu and K2 her. Find Shoukaku and level the cranes to prepare. CVs level fast, just bring them along on every map you can, but not PvP.

BB: K2 the Kongou sisters. Your slow BBs are good for now.

BBV: Kai and level all of them - Ise, Hyuuga, Fusou, Yamashiro. Prepare to K2 one of Fusou/Yamashiro for powerful BBV and good equipments.

SS: as subcheesing is fairly viable now, prepare at least one Kai SS(V). The rest you can leave at non-Kai for farming res at 2-2 and 2-3. I recommend I-58 (high luck) and I-401 (high armor but need LSC). In event you can find more rare sub for that purpose. (sometimes you can use a fleet of 6 sub to cheese, but finding enough sub early is hard)

Misc: find Akashi at 1-5 so you can start modding equipment, and save time fixing minor damage ship. (don't spam 1-5 too much if you plan to level your DD there though). Keep a dupe of Chitose and Chiyoda as AV each, you can use them in some expedition and as a fast AV if needed. Kamoi also has her use so level her in PvP (very low priority)

Ships you need to find now are Abukuma, Hiryuu, Shoukaku and Akashi (Akashi may have better droprate in events, but look out for her in normal maps won't hurt.)

Your first 3 BP should be used on Abukuma, one of Tone/Chikuma and one of Fusou/Yamashiro. They get you good equipments (a Daihatsu landing craft, 20.3 cm no 3 gun, 41 cm gun and very good seaplane bombers) and are very useful on events.
