further to this:

海防艦 is considered the equivalent of 護衛駆逐艦 (based on "日本海軍の同目的の艦"), so Kaibōkan == DE

"同様に護衛駆逐艦と訳される艦種（Escort Destroyer, DDE）があるが、こちらは従来の駆逐艦を対潜艦に転用したものである. " hence 護衛駆逐艦 != DDE true, but

theres a variety of ship that can also be translated similarly, thats it (Escort Destroyer, DDE) but this is a conventional destroyer thats turned into ASW

going by word 同様, means that both DE and DDE are correct to be translated into 護衛駆逐艦 (just like when u're refering navy and air force as national military)

in addition this kaiboukan page mentioned shimushu

the dev themself refer shimushu as kaiboukan instead of goeikuchikukan, so if the kaiboukan and goeikuchikukan are the same thing why the dev use the new term instead of using the old kaiboukan ?
