Who cares about those, they didn't even use the PF code that we're trying to get adopted here, the Americans called them "frigates" for lack of better words, they weren't much of a DL (Destroyer Leader) in practice as they were not supposed to lead anything, they were just larger than regular destroyers and smaller than cruisers, it was this decision that led to the "cruiser gap" of the 1970s.

If you're referring to the "Patrol Escorts", the only ships that received PF codes during the Cold War were some corvettes/frigates built for MDAP export in Texas, PF-103 class and PF-107 class; they were actually closer to the kaibokan in terms of displacement than the WWII-era Rivers/Tacoma, 900 tons standard and 1135 tons full displacement.
