It is still kinda jarring though to see the game's card say one name, and then for the wiki's infobox to say something completely different. At the very least with stuff like "Armored Carrier" you can still tell that they're "Carriers".

Also, isn't the lit. of Kaibokan "Ocean Defense Ship"? And if we use the literal Japanese for every ship, we wouldn't be calling them "Destroyers" or "Cruisers".

They're not quite the same thing as escort destroyers in USN

Nobody said they were, "Escort" being a different ship from "Escort Destroyer".
