It's worth remembering that the Escorts in the game can't a bunch of items one would expect of a DE, such as carry drum canisters. (Is there anyone who seriously believes that a ship like Barr shouldn't be able to carry drum canisters?) It seems pretty clear that any DE added to the game aren't going to be added as Escorts (I'd bet on slow-speed Destroyer). This means using DE potentially gets one in the bizarre position of explaining to people why the DE isn't a DE.

Also, if PFs are to large to be compared, why don't we choose a smaller patrol classification, such as what the Eagle-class used (PE).
