Explaining that this List assumes a new player... Discounting Support Expeditions it is recommended to have the following quantity of each class ready for an Event (easy mode): xxDD, 2CL, xxCA, xxBB, xxCV

Laying out general criteria what makes ships qualify to be top like special and useful features within their class, as well as aviability and cost to their maximum potential...

Light Cruisers

CLs face the tightest competition for slots in a fleet as escort fleets traditionally allow only a single CL. There exists a large gulf in quality between the best and the worst picks for a CL slot. The very best CLs are capable of enhancing the performance of the entire fleet with torpedoes or a fourth slot.
