It's a role played by warships, may she be a destroyer, frigate, corvette, patrol boat, cruiser, or even a smaller carrier. But given that the main purpose of having classification is to help players identify map routing based on backend designation given by the devs, it doesn't have to be proper to begin with.

I mean, FBB for a slow Gungat? Why not, that's how the devs decide to roll with it. ¯ヽ_(ツ)_ノ¯

Rather than what to call escorts, I'm more curious as to whether CV(B) meant CV + CVB or CV + CVB + CVL every time it appears in event map pages. Yes, this is a solid point, so I won't say EE (or the like) is a complete no-go, (unlike DE which would cause very serious confusion) but it would be a compromise just like BBV. What I can't quite understand is that we do have a next-to-perfect historical candidate known as PF, so why bother inventing our own?

CV(B) means CV and CVB, all carriers would probably have to be covered by CV(L)(B) or the like, just like we use (F)BB(V) to cover all kinds of battleship varients.
