As already stated, in most cases, having a ship triggering an "[[opening ASW]]" takes priority over having the best damage setup.
When putting aside the "special OASW" that each have other characteristics (''see [[OASW]]''), the mains OASW are the:
*"Shelling OASW", where [[DD]], [[CL]], [[CLT]], [[CT]], and [[AO]] needs to reach 100 {{ASW}} while carrying a {{Sonar}} [[Sonar]].
**[[DE]] are great in the OASW role, only needing 60 {{ASW}} when using a {{Sonar}} [[Sonar]].
*"Carrier OASW", where a CVL, but more commonly a [[CVE]] is equipped with at least one [[ASW Aircraft]].
**Other setups variations do exist but are detrimental to the regular carrier role.
*Because {{ASW}} increase with levels, using high-level ships will help reach the required stat threshold,
**Many ships do notably reach 100+ ASW at higher levels once [[marriage|married]].
In most cases, DD and CL are used for OASW due to their versatility, hence, their required setup are mostly as follow:
