Well then I may have to disappint you, I'm just an average civillian who doubles as a naval enthusiast. I do know a couple of people who have far better reputation, but that probably won't surpass those NHHC guys.

What we are doing here is persuation, not a race of titles, it won't help even if I happen to be the admiral of the navy of my country (Taiwan). So unless these NHHC guys can give me a good solid reason why a non-torpedo ship can be referred to as a destroyer in the IJN, calling Kaiboukans DEs is out of question for me.

The treaty thing is just one of the features that DEs and Kaiboukans are different. The navies care about treaty or not, Kaiboukans are not subject to the treaty is still a fact.
