The campaign labels this vessel a cruiser, yet its appearance and anti-submarine role make it functionally a destroyer. This classification belongs to the scenario and makes no claim about a historical ship class. The brief comparison shows how a formal category can diverge from capability when a design is built around a specific mission. It also provides a concrete example of the role substitutions described earlier in the fleet.
