First of all, next time, go to Strategy Room > Showcase > Export Ships, that list is far easier to read. You should also post your equipment; it’s just as important as your ships. As for your fleet:

DD: you need at least 7 DDs to build a Transport fleet. Ayanami, Shimakaze and Yukikaze should be your priorities – Ayanami has the best stats after Yuudachi, and the other two get full power as early as level 20 (though you’ll need to level them a fair bit more if you want them to actually survive). For the other 3, I’d recommend an ASW ship (Satsuki or Fumizuki) and Daihatsu carriers (Asashio-class, especially Kasumi, who’s very versatile. Also Kawakaze if you happen to find her) Shigure can also be considered for another relatively low-level high-luck ship, but her stats are pretty average.

CL: Sendai should be your priority for the night equipment. Isuzu can do OASW as early as level 50, and will likely be your main ASW ship for a while, so train her as well. Level Abukuma if you find her, she’s one of the most versatile ships in the game. You should also train Kitakami and Ooi (once you find her) to Kai Ni, CLTs are very important for killing bosses.

CA: Maya should be your top priority overall, you really don’t want to go into an event these days without a decent AACI, and until you get an Akizuki-class, Maya is your only decent choice. You should also train the Myoukou-class ships, as they have the best stats, as well as Kumano and Mogami, since CAVs are often used for routing.

CVL: Chitose and Chiyoda have good stats and are fast ships, so start with them. Zuihou and Ryuujou are only really useful at Kai Ni, so either go all-out or don’t bother with them for now.

CV: you need 4 of them for a full CTF, so train all the ones you have. Prioritize Hiryuu (when you find her) and Souryuu since they have quests for some great planes, and if you find Shoukaku, complete the catapult quests ASAP so you can turn her and Zuikaku into CVBs, currently the most OP ships in the game.

BB: FBB > all other BBs, for the simple fact that FBBs are far less likely to be screwed by routing, so get training you Kongous. Fusou-class is only decent at Kai Ni, so don’t bother with them until you have the blueprints to spare.

Others: -having a couple of AVs for the occasional routing requirement is a good idea, but don’t waste too much time training them.

-Katori is completely useless in combat, and should only be used to boost PvP experience. Don’t bother training her outside PvP.

-if you can’t train all the ships here, Kuma + Nagara + Natori(CL), Takao + Atago (CA) and Hiyou + Junyou (CVL) all have decent stats even at Kai, so you can use them as placeholders until you can train the top ships.

-don’t hesitate to make room to train the ships you like, motivation is arguably even more important than stats.
