Well, it would be really underwhelming to have a MO operation end with a DE/DD. Though Samuel B. Roberts was a very good destroyer escort, she's still a DE, which relatively speaking, don't really have a purpose besides 1-5. I wouldn't go through 4 maps to get a DD/DE, because I don't need another DE cluttering up my slots and another DD to worry about, and at least a CVL (though a crappy trophy one) seems a lot more rewarding.

Before events, it's just best to keep expectations low. Don't go around assuming big capital ships are gonna appear because when they don't, you'll be utterly disappointed.

Keep waiting and be patient. Soon enough capital ships are rewarded to those who wait. And just be glad we're getting CV-11, because Essex class were the successors to the Yorktowns, and became the heart of the USN navy after the war.
