I don't think they need a rename. Coastal Defense Ships is self-explanatory enough without causing problems of nomination inconsistencies. It's impossible to be inconsistent / cause misunderstanding in the first place. We're just assigning name / shortform to API, not classifying the ship type for the devs. We could theoretically swap DD and BB around and it will make 0 difference other than pissing off dem naval enthusiasts.

It would be great if this was suggested earlier tho. Sticking to an existing shortform (DE) because of legacy code and then adding on a completely different name is just bonkers.
