If you insist on qualifications, it's the people in Naval History and Heritage Command who recommended to categorize them as "escort ships" when Tsubakura asked them about it. That's just absurdly wrong, you will never be capable to keep that term exclusively in the fandom. Someone somewhere at sometime in the future will start spreading that term outside the fandom creating misinformation. Take some responsibilities in your work.

If both the NHHC and Japanese simply label it as "escort", then pick that thing. They've already future proof their work by calling them as such. It's their work so they will know how to do it to not overly complicate thing

If you're going to use something different than "escort" you're just going to fuck yourself over when Tanaka implement a different ship that clash with your definition.
