following the USN codes to our best will mean back to square one - one faction on PF, one faction on DE, yet another on DDE + all the reasoning, facts and all. that polling is the thing to get the community to vote and decide on what the majority thinks, and of course the outcome will not please everyone - just like the current situation with PF, DE, DDE or any other class. People ended up using the "large carrier" hull code (CVB) for carriers that have roughly the same displacement of an Essex, even DE for kaibokan would be relatively less out of place. I don't think anyone is actually arguing for the DDE here or on reddit, albeit some people seem to have a fairly extensive and retro-active definition of DDE.

Well, CVB has one advantage of having the only de facto USN armored carrier, Midway, being (briefly) coded CVB-41...
