| + | ===Analysis=== |
| + | Priority: '''Low''' |
| + | |
| + | :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. |
| + | |
| + | :Kaiboukan No.4 is weaker than other DEs due to being capped at 2 Equipment slots and generally lower statline. This makes her unable to make full use of ASW Synergy. |
| + | :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. |
