...meh... I'm not even sure how I got wrapped up in a topic that, ulitimately, means next to nothing.

I mean, it's not like the Devs have a history of being consistantly clear when they give out hints, or that there's a language barrier to the point that 'Escort Destroyer' could be used as a classification or a description depending on how one wants to read and/or interpret the verbiage. Making things worse is the fact that the Devs have also been willing to ignore historical accuracy when it suits them...so there is really no point in arguing the matter.

The way I figure it (and I believe this was mentioned before by you), we are going to get one of the following:

- A Destroyer Escort (Sammy B.) that will will have the same in-game values with regard to expeditions, routing and such as the Kaibokans already present...but she but also happens to have a Torpedo Stat and can equip Torpedos.

- An Escort Destroyer (Johnston or Hoel), that will have the same in-game values as a Destroyer.

Given some of the exceptions they've done in the past with different ships despite being in the same class/type, I wouldn't be surprised with either outcome.

I put myself in the "I'm just happy the devs are giving us more 'foreign ships' and I want to see what they're going to do" camp and I really should start acting like it.
