I hope the historians are still there, since this topic has been contested on other communities yet again. I am no historian when it comes to this, I only choose the answer which is the most correct out of the 2. The primary goal is to get a consensus as to what classification they should be given across all platforms, to remain consistency. Until that's achieved, this debate will continue.

Anyway, we have the following arguments going around:
 * Based on some analysis, it is concluded that this came from an intelligence exchange with the British. As the USN actually had delivered the Evart-class to the Royal Navy, in which they quickly were re-designated as Frigates, it is in no way a proof that PF is the only correct option out of the 2.
 * The USN themselves never used Frigates for operational practices. While they did built them, they were rarely used in practice as the USN view them as inferior to the DE and DD they currently have posession. As the Kaiboukan were basically used the same way as the USN DE during the WW2 era, the USN would classify them as DE.
 * There are no firm rules in classifying when looking at the displacement of a ship, besides smaller than the bigger class and bigger than the smaller class. The ships are generally classified by the role they are assigned with.

Can you guys help me on clarifying them?
