Ships with T3 drop often during events so you can just get them then. You should probably kai Kashima incase SS Hime comes back or there is another SS heavy map, CTs don't count as CLs so you can stick her in the escort fleet along with Ooyodo or Yuubari to have a 2nd or 3rd 4slot asw ship.

Improving a searchlight gives firepower but also it's said improving it makes the drawing fire aspect of it stronger, I don't use it often enough to notice a change but I've seen several respectable people mention it so I'll take their word for it.
