They'll definitely be able to shoot down PT Imps, but I'd say they're mainly there to deter landing crafts and amphibious assault ships from landing, much like how the interceptors are designed to shoot down bombers.

They're ill-suited to fight against naval ships, though, so I seriously doubt you'll be using them in the frontline.

On another note, there are news that Escort Carriers would be introduced in Spring 2017 Event, with the coastal defense ship after that. So it seems like they'll be implementing more "escort mechanic" this year. escort mechanics + coastal defence..theme of World 7, probably? they brought over the LBAS to normal operations aka World 6 from events afterall.

"ill-suited to fight naval ships", huh. wonder what devs be pulling on us when destroyer escorts are implemented. "the more (destroyer escorts) the merrier to be effective against subs/imp packs, but detrimental to surface power. and the lesser one has, the more one is likely to struggle but enjoy stronger surface power". either that or routing.
