As Jumpieaverage suggest, balance is important in your fleet. So if i were you now i would focus on leveling the BBs first. Say, Nagato and Mutsu for the slow BB, Kirishima and Hiei for the fast BB, and since you would'nt have the BP for Fusou class K2, i would suggest getting Hyuuga and Ise leveled up for your BBV (they have better stats at Kai than Fusou class, but you should definitely get Fusou class K2 in the long run for their equipment)

Next would be the carriers. Yours right now is fine, maybe you can get Akagi and Kaga to better levels. And definitely K2 for Hiryuu and Souryuu, Zero Type 21 Skilled is much needed for long range LBAS support. I like that you have a good fast CVLs, but dont forget the slow one, Junyou has the most plane slots out of the CVLs, so give some love to her if you have time :)

Heavy cruisers department looks not very promising to me. Definitely get that Maya K2 asap for her strongest AACI in the game, although the Duckies would probably sufficient enough for now. Try Kai-ing the Myoukou-class cruisers (i would suggest Haguro and Ashigara first) for more choices of your CA. In the long run you should get all 4 of them to K2 + Choukai, since Choukai is the strongest CA currently in the game. For CAV i agree with others, since you wouldnt have time for Tone class K2, Mogami is a good alternative because of her slots count, her firepower is better too than Kumano or Suzuya.

CL department looks fine-ish, maybe you can get Isuzu to K2 for OASW just in case we need to face the sub hime again. Definitely get Kitakami and Ooi to CLT. Yuubari or Ooyodo? Definitely Ooyodo for the FCF and better stats overall.

DD department looks good, but again, balance here is very important. In the long run you should aim to get like what Jumpieaverage suggested. OASW like Asashio K2 D or Verniy, Daihatsu carriers like Ooshio K2 or Satsuki K2. high firepower like Yuudachi K2 or Ayanami K2, and high luck DD for night battle torpedo cut in like Hatsushimo K2.

Equipment wise, prioritize crafting for Reppu, Ryuusei Kai, AP shells and Type 3 shells. At least have 4-5 each. For now you can forget Zuikaku, but if you want you can always try crafting her with your daily quest. She'll come to you eventually.

I can't say much about the expeditions, but i believe you'll do just fine. What i'll usually do is 2-21-37 for ammo, 2-21-38 for fuel, and 2-6-37/38 for baux and extra fuel/ammo as needed. Then when i go to sleep or long away from the game i will set 11-24-36 for baux. If you have more time for the game you should definitely get the short expedition going. Your resources looks fine, you should stockpile some more if you can, especially buckets. You'll never know if you have enough resources for the events.

I would say you're a opposite of me when i first started seven months ago. Back then i focused more on BBs and CVs. As a result, my DDs and CLs are really bad. But i do enough leveling for them before Summer 2016, and i got through the event at Easy. I believe you can do the same :)
