A US DE will probably be more like the Mutsuki class with increased ASW and AA as well as reduced Torp. I'm hoping for Johnston, because another high FP DD is always useful. The only confusion of "Japanese DE" versus US DE only came because people insisted on referring to those Kaiboukans (PF/CDS/EE) as DEs, which backfired within an year. Now that we know that the "real" DEs are coming, can we just say "screw those fake naval scholars, leave DEs to the genuine Americans"?

One more note, the Japanese "護衛駆逐艦" refers to both DE and DDE (perhaps wouldn't be introduced), it seems to be a harmless trivia for the moment, but who knows...
