I still think using a universal classification of "Escort" for kaibokan would be the safest option here. I expect people to document themselves before spouting nonsense, yeah. Tacoma class is the first result on Google if you type patrol frigate, it doesn't take too much effort.

We should use "capital ship" in place of both "battleship" and "fast battleship" then, confusion between the two be damned because the game itself calls them both battleship (戦艦); obviously the looser the term the safer it is, but making up more fictional abbreviations when there is an actual abbreviation used by the USN in reference to those ships is unwarranted.
