I vaguely remember destroyer escort got changed to coastal defence ship halfway through because of the DE/PF issue. Lord knows which is the 'correct' one, but you can't go wrong following the card.

Besides, from what I can see, the wikia calls DE Coastal Defense Ship, the en.kancollewiki went with Destroyer Escort and the people in reddit mostly just go with plain ol' Kaibokan. That makes translating the word 'kaibokan' kind of finicky.

Though given that the wikia is the first result when you google for a ship, I suppose w/e that's adopted here would be the standard translation for sites like danbooru.
