I'd say it's not worth using a FBB in the second fleet unless you have Bismarck or you are really struggling to get enough ships into night battle to do any damage. Overall the heavy cruisers deal more damage than the IJN FBBs because of their high damage at night (night battle damage is shelling+torpedo damage) and their torpedoes are useful for finishing off escorting destroyers at the end of the day battle. Cruisers are also more resource efficient to operate than battleships.

Rather than focusing on getting Haruna or Kirishima sorted, it's a lot better if you try to get some of the Myoukou-class or the CLTs up to kai-ni.
