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. This is going to problematic for various reasons, because there are maps and quests that does discriminate against certain ship types and categories. Gangut and Abukuma is a special case in-game, but we can't completely ignore ship types because map branching are determined by ship type, not by their role.

Also, as Vchrang stated, escort is a naval ship role, which means Kasuga Maru and Taiyou could also be considered as an escort ship. We'd be in serious trouble if we ended up causing confusion over an overly board ship category. It's like saying we can get away with aviation battleship or cruisers for branching that needs CVs.
