===Analysis===

===Important Information===

* Helper for the following equipment:

 

** Improvement: [[Type 3 Depth Charge Projector]], [[Type 2 Depth Charge]], [[12.7cm Single High-angle Gun Mount (Late Model)]], [[Type 3 Depth Charge Projector (Concentrated Deployment)]], [[12cm Single High-angle Gun Mount Model E]]

: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.

 

: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.
