The DDs may not be useless by themselves but CLTs are more useful. Opening torp to remove at least 1 mob before shelling even starts, and high damage in night battle even with just double attack set-up alone. They are also slightly more durable than DDs. Even CAs will be more useful since  they are more durable + deal pretty high damage with double attack set-ups too.

Kitakami isn't that rare and her kai2 level isn't that high either (lv50), so it's a good time to go train her into a CLT.
