The older three ships that could still set steam, Yakumo, Izumo and Iwate were reclassified from Kaibokan to 1st class Cruiser, aka CA. They are obsolete armour cruisers... There are even Kaiboukans who came from old BBs, you know.

Yes. However, did you read the part where IJN discontinued Kaibokan in 1931 and then gave the classification a new meaning in 1942?

The Kaibokan we have now are all small frigates, so I would suggest "Frigate" as best fitting.

Also, with the way routing is setup in KC (as in handicap), I doubt we will get a Kaibokan with the firepower of a heavy cruiser or battleship anytime soon.
