First start small. Get your main ships up to first remodel (lv 20-30) so that you can start modernizing them with firepower/armor/torpedo. Pick 2 of each class to focus on to start.

The construction recipe to craft CV is a gamble because CV don't have very high rates. Even so, it would help to have more than 1. I personally went through Midway with only 2 CV because I supplemented my fleet with 2 CVL and OP could do the same. The key is having good planes. You should be putting a lot of resources into developing your planes because you will likely need a lot of them with combined fleet mechanics. 20/60/10/110 recommended. LoS and AS checks can't be won with levels alone. Ryuusei Kai, Reppu, and Saiun are your big winners. Get many.

For playing, you want to unlock 3-2 as your main goal. Just hitting 3-2A will provide good leveling opportunities and the entire Kongou class of battleships drop from 3-2A as well which will allow you to unlock your 4th fleet. The tons of other CA and extra BB will also provide good modernization fodder.
