Rather depends on whether you're playing campaigns or one-off scenarios,
which point system you're using, etc., how much money you feel like
spending, etc.
To give you proportions, in 1939, the Royal Navy had
15 BB + 9 building
6 CV + 6
15 CA
40 CL + 8
6 CE + 16 ("anti aircraft cruisers")
113 DDH + 24 ("modern" destroyers)
68 DD (WW1 vintage)
bear in mind that the DDs were largely for antisubmarine work and
unless you've got cloaking rules in effect, there aren't really any
sub-equivalents or torpedo boats.
For facing Phalons, I think you'll probably want ADFC escorts and
fighters, for shooting down plasma bursts, but YMMV.
