On a different note, I was rather surprised we aren't using PF since the Spring Event page is using that term. I mean, I doubt there's that many people that cared and as long as you stuck it in the wiki, it'll stick at some point.

Like, when does democracy ever works ┐(￣ー￣)┌. If they implement them as regular destroyers, "DD", it's nevertheless going to be confusing, we will have ships labelled as DD who call themselves "destroyer escorts" and ships labelled as DE who call themselves "kaibokan" (or "coastal defence ships" if we're going to stick with this term in the translated lines in this wiki).

A similar risk existed even with PF but it was limited to the implementation of Patrol Frigates (Rivers and Tacomas) as their own typology.

About PF in the Spring Event page, Tsuba settled on PF before, but later the discussion was somehow re-opened, he wanted to push the fictional EE abbreviation, PF survived in the meanwhile only as a temporary measure.
