From the list of USN abbreviations used during WWII from the NHHC website: "EV -- Escort Vessels (enemy)". Since kaibokans were escort vessels operated by the USN's enemy at the time, wouldn't EV a) make the most sense and b) be an actual acronym used at the time and therefore not something Kancolle players have to invent? The only problem with this is that it is a list of abbreviations, not hull classification symbols, while it is still usable, there is a difference.
