About your Shimakaze not doing much damage, it's normal among destroyers, specially if not Kai'd and not modernized.

What destroyers are good for is satisfying branching rules on certain maps, dealing with enemy submarines and night battles, where they really shine provided that they survive the day battle with no more than moderate damage ... although against subs and in night battle the light cruisers are better. Light cruisers can be seen as buffed up destroyers.

Just take it easy, explore the wikia for useful information and have fun, everything will become clear the more you explore and play.
