Most ships are weak before kai, and DD is the worst of these.

In surface combat, of course they are weak. They cannot do artillery spotting, They are much more powerful during the night however, provided you equip them right.

They have their uses however, DD are one of the few ships that can attack submarines. Also some maps restricts you to the use of small ships.
