Remember, Japanese games tend to have a "love to grind xp" element to them.

Level up your ships on 1-1, and 1-2. Not only will you gain xp, but you'll increase your ship roster for modernization/upgrades as well.

Once you've built up an experienced destroyer fleet, 1-3 will pose no problem, and as other posters have noted, you'll enjoy the further pain of 2-4 and 3-1.
