Priority: '''Medium'''
: She is a good and cheap ship when you need OASW. Beyond that, her combat stats are terrible. Her ability to hit OASW early makes her invaluable for submarine only maps. Her low defensive stats means she will have trouble surviving against ships heavier than a destroyer. Her other important use is for modernising luck, ASW and HP. She, along with the other DEs, are the only ships in game capable of modernizing ASW and HP. This makes her invaluable for helping other ships hit the critical OASW and 4n+3 HP thresholds. Another potential use for her is for expeditions because she is so cheap to run and can be sparkled with minimal effort in 1-5.
: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.
