Kinu is an average CL. Stats aren't particularly amazing, but she is a good ship for depleting transport gauge and as an expedition mule. She gives daihatsu, in addition to her in-built daihatsu ability. Not overly useful in events apart from TP.

Sendai and Jintsuu pretty much have the best night power in terms of dmg, which makes them very good against all enemies at night. They also happen to have very high armour stats (for CL). I would not recommending dropping them - just purely based from damage output alone. Jintsuu (very high priority to keep) > Sendai  (high priority)  > Naka (you can drop her if you want)

This is just my personal opinion but this is my ranking of the CL classes in terms of priority.

Abukuma > Sendai Class > Ooyodo/Yuubari/Isuzu > Agano Class > Nagara/Kuma (though some ships have outstanding stats)

Generally in an event you typically use 2-3 CL's due to shiplock. I would recommend having around 4 for utility purposes. Abukuma is a MUST (mini-sub is way too good, consider even duplicating her if you have more ship slots), Isuzu for ASW (against sub hime), Jintsuu/Sendai for high night DA abilities and one 4 slot CL e.g. Ooyodo or Yuubari (for anti-installation when equipped with double WG42 + 2 Red main). Ooyodo is much better than Yuubari though because she has more armour.
