What ships had to use ASW the most? Ships escorting convoys and troop transports. They are even called Escorts ingame, so why not just go with something that says they are escorts instead of going back to DE and PF? I really don't understand why we need to argue about something so simple. Because that's just the description of what a PF is and it's what they were historically called by the USN. A DE isn't necessarily completely hopeless in ASuW, as it was shown by Samuel B. Roberts at Samar.

Shattered Sword has been widely lauded but neither Tully nor Parshall are historians by academic formation. And for the record, they're the authors of that combinedfleet.com website that your fellow linked.
