Agreed.

Real Coastal Defence Ships had bigger guns and resembled battleships.

Let's not make things more complicated than it already is. Your "real" Kaiboukan was more like pre-Shimushu definition of Kaiboukans, which wasn't and will never be introduced into the game. What we are talking about here is post-1942 definition of Kaiboukans (when all those old BBs became reclassified into something else), which resembles more like the British Flower-class, which was the definition for the abbreviation PF.
