Escort is to vague a term as there were too many types of escort ships in the second world War. Escort is basically a net catch everything term term. If you go to the Kaiboukan JP wikipedia and CTRL+F "Escort", it literally says there that Kaiboukan's English term is Escort. They're game devs, they won't bother spending time reading English wikipedia when there's a JP one.

In fact, the real fault lies with the first person developing / translating KC viewers that decides to designate API 1 as DE instead of blanking it out until its implemented.

We could've just call 'em "Escort" / "Kaiboukan" and went with a fictional EE rather than having a DE (Destroyer Escort) w/ Coastal Defense Ship.
