===Analysis===
−
Priority: '''Medium'''
−
−
:Destroyer escorts, also known as ''kaiboukan'', are cheap, mass-produced vessels focused on ASW, and that's what they should be used for.
−
:With proper gear, they can perform OASW attacks from level 1 and consume very little fuel and ammo, giving an excellent bang for your bucks when it comes to dealing with subs.
−
:However, they are a poor fit for surface combat, so make sure not to expose them to enemy surface ships too much.
−
−
:The differences in combat stats that actually matter between DEs are minimal, so feel free to use the ones you prefer.
−
:They're also very cheap and easy to sparkle, and can therefore be used in expeditions that do not require a [[Drum Canister]] (as they cannot equip those).
−
:Furthermore, they can be used for an unique kind of [[Modernization]] that can increase HP, ASW and Luck. Refer to the corresponding page for details on that.
