Proximity fuze is a late-war invention, I wouldn't put it into the comparison among ships myself. Also it was not widely issued to destroyers until very late stage of the war.

Also, USN's proximity fuses were put on 5-inch guns, not those secondary AAs. 40mm bofors was not equipped with proximity fuze, 20mm's shell was not even explosive.
