Agreed.

Real Coastal Defence Ships had bigger guns and resembled battleships. Well I risk resparking the debate, but I have to spell it out either way.

What makes the PF/Kaibokan classification a difficult thing to set in is that both USN and IJN have much bigger ships under those classification. Whenever PF was suggested to be be used for Kaibokans, opponents mentioned the Tacoma-class frigates from WW2, either because we have to adhere to USN's hullcodes or limit ourselves to WW2 classification.

I could say a lot more but that is that for this topic. If you wanna know more, write to me in my message wall and I'll explain how the whole debate came to be.
