Well, that escalated quickly. I`ve been somewhat followed the debate (is highlighted on wikia and that blue 1 bothered me) and I thought everything was resolved into DE by some irrefutable proof lol. As for the Battlecruisers i guess you are talking about the Kongo sisters that were built and designed as such but then they were modernized and clasified as FBB.

Hmmm, as for  the poll. Since you guys have been using USN conventions, but they proved unsatisfactory this time, I agree with Hasemiru in taking the literal IJN designation, altrough i think SDS (sea defense ship) is better since that`s the exact translation kanji by kanji (at least acording with wikipedia at the page of the shimushu-class kaibokans). But since that option is out of the above-highlighted poll, i`ll go with ES (Escort Ship), which is the closest to that
