This has been discussed and the question was asked to the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) Library regarding the classification. The result was that it is viable to keep calling them "DE" or "E", but definitely not "PF". However, DE might not be the best classification of Escort as stated above. Question: was it brought up that the US Navy itself used PF during and after the war in its intelligence, as it's been discussed in the previous thread? How did they decide to just sign it off?

Therefore, a shit solution was made: make our own classification. The poll for some possible classification that makes sense are below: Definitely shitty, but it's not like E is an actual abbreviation anyhow.
