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.
