To echo what @Devsquad74 said, I would scrap all of those DDs from Asashio to Magatsuki; they're all common and every one of them except maybe Kuroshio and Kagerou drop in World 1 ...though you may want to keep Ayanami; yes she's common, but she gets K2 *really* late (level 70), but she's also one of the best DDs in the game (behind Yuudachi). I say this only because you want to get started now.

If you need more space, drop Natori through Nagara; again, all of those are common and drop frequently. Same with Atago and Takao...and while it pains me to say this, as I love both Atago and Takao, they are great CAs for early players, but are eclipsed by other ships by mid-game.

If I were you, I would *avoid* scrapping these ships. Instead, use them as modernization fodder for the ships you are keeping. This goes for any duplicates you acquire through your leveling efforts.

Speaking of leveling... if it hasn't already been mentioned, another good place to level your DDs and CLs is 1-5; bring a full fleet, set them (or at least your Flagship) up with ASW gear and just spam the first 3 nodes. After the 3rd node, retreat. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I will also echo what others have said; keep it up! Keep power-leveling your ships and get them to level 40! You have time to power-level and gather resources!

For your equipment;

- Try to craft more Reppuus and Shiden K2s. Those are good strong fighters.

- Try to craft more some more Suisei Model 12A's; it's good to have some Red Planes, just in case, especially given the CVCI cut-ins

- Try to craft Ryuusei Kai; these are the strongest craftable Blue Planes in the game.

Plane Recipe: 20 Fuel, 60 Ammo, 10 Steel, 100 Bauxite with a CV Flagship will roll any/all of the above-mentioned planes.

If you need space for equipment (as there are space limitations there too!), go ahead and scrap the following:

- 12.7cm Twin; all but 12x (any more than this is just gobbling up space)

- 12cm Single; don't bother keeping. Bad stats and is a waste of space

- 20.3cm Twin; all but 24x (these can be used on CLs, CAs and CAVs...but you don't need 50 of them!)

- 14cm Single; don't bother keeping. Bad stats and all are a waste of space

- 15.2cm Single (secondary); don't bother keeping. Bad stats and all are a waste of space

- As you get more/better Red and Blue planes, you can scrap the Type 97 and Type 99s, but for now keep these until you have more of the better planes.

Scrapping some of this equipment will not only free up space that you will need as you get more ships, but will also give you some extra resources...not many, but it's better than nothing.

I hope this helps.
