However, I will point this out: Someone will have to add "not DE" to every single phrase in this wiki concerning DDs on a sortie or an expedition. Congratulations for your collective stupidity DE supporters! Why would anyone ever mistook DE for DD?

I don't care what the wikia ends up with (as long as it's consistent when the next event rolls over), but that's a very weak, if not outright ridiculous, argument against DE. IRL DE is a variant of DD, and just read this sentence:

"Destroyer escort is not a kind of destroyer".

It's correct at least in the game, but very anti-intuitive. As opposed to the fact that SSV is a kind of SS, BBV is a kind of slow BB (in most cases), and CVB is a kind of carrier (most carrier-requiring branching or expedition accepts CVL, CV, CVB alike, the only exception is 2-2).
