With more potent submarines going to be released sometime, I think it'd be a good idea if a new kind of destroyer was made for all  factions.
(You could take a DD (Like the Fletcher, give it a different piant job and call it the Allen M Summers class) and easily modify the sprite and a few of its values)

Much like the ECL's, the only requirement is that you have the level being able to pilot it. The level range would be somewhere in the 30-40's

Essentially, the destroyer would have the following mounts:

2 fore mounted R slots with size 45
2 rear mounted R slots with size 45
1 <both sided> T slot with size 20 (Torpedeo carrying space of 12)

The ship would have access to either the highest level destroyer engine, or a special engine with a very low overheat ratio but a high HP so the crusing speed is fast but the OH speed is not much better.
It would also have a higher then average turning force, as well as bulge being cheaper/less weight per then normal destroyers (all other armors are much higher per to compensate)
Furthermore, it's AAW and HE/AP defensive values would be very low as well.

I honestly don't know how much DP it would have either. It would need to be a decent amount, but I don't think it should be near CL levels.
For displacement, it needs to be moderately high compared to a regular DD to compensate for 30/40 level crews

Sailor Slots: 4(4) or 4(5)

It simply is not rewarding enough for most people.

HOWEVER, I would like it if the developers gave us a treat in the form of a new neutral frigate specialized for ASW. Such an addition would be simple and harmless. I know that a neutral frigate is no substitute for OP's suggestion, and I hope you're not offended, but it is a small step that the developers might be more willing to take.

Please read my proposal for a new neutral frigate:

--------------------------------------------------

This frigate is meant to be an improvement of the FF-Y, which is currently the premier sub-hunting frigate in NavyField. In addition to that, this frigate proposal also incorporates the qualities of real life Escort Destroyers and Destroyer Escorts (these were the specialized ASW ships of WW2). These qualities includes high AAW rating, rear depth charge launchers, and less deck guns than other ships.

Required level: 36 (Neutral Frigate)
Turning Force: 45
AAW Defense rating: 200
FCS: 20 (same as FF-Y)
Power Plant: 26 (same as FF-Y)
Cruise speed: Should be the same or faster (NOT slower) than FF-Y: high cruise speed, low overheat speed
All other stats: Possibly the same as FF-Y

Armaments:

Aft weapons only.

R Space 30
R Space 30
R Space 30
T Space 22 (Same rear position as FF-Y)
T Space 22 (Same rear position as FF-Y)

Crew:

Sailors 4 (1)

1 Operator
1 Gunner
1 Torpedo
1 Sonarman


i kinda luv this ideal but why add more FF to the list why not add a few more Neut DDs that have more DP and gun space since they have 6inch guns and why not make Neut CLs and raise the class restrictions from the stupid lvl its at now to lvl30

DE = FF

Destroyer Escort was the designation used by the United States Navy for frigates. USN was the only navy that did this and eventually the USN dropped DE designation in favor of FF designation. Other countries called them "frigates."

If the gun space was increased, people would be able to fit them with hedgehogs and there would be endless whining about it. In my opinion, we should encourage good ol' depth charge sub-hunting, and that's what my FF suggestion was about. If it was a neutral DD, it would be very slow and turn like a truck, and that would be terrible. Also, a frigate keeps in tradition of the destroyer escort, which were frigates in real life.

despite the guns space versus HH thats meaning less since HH only need a space of 25 and are widely used as it is regardless to any ship in use atm and the wha wha wha wha babys crying over HH is already at its peak
