List of coastal defense ships by upgraded maximum stats/New
Notes
DEs mostly behave as inferior DDs, trading combat effectiveness and versatility with cheapness to operate. They:
- Cannot be a replacement for DDs in Routing, Quests, and Expeditions; unless specified otherwise.
- Can OASW with only 60 ASW stat, and even at 75 ASW with no sonar (against 100 ASW for most other ships).
- Are Slow Speed, and as they cannot equip Engine Improvement, they cannot become fast.
- Cannot equip Torpedoes, Star shells, Searchlight, or Drums either.
- Have no Torpedo stat and therefore cannot perform closing torpedo.
These ships are generally best used on maps with lots of submarines and no other major surface threats.
