It does get a Mahan class in and was a busy unit with 11 battle stars. Plus it stood out because of it's color scheme/nickname. Carrier escort maybe over Convoy escort. Maybe some sort of cover landing SA.

Yeah, it seems to have present at a lot of places without grabbing any headlines. Where are we regards an early US DD with a carrier escort ability? Something along those lines would be my preference over the more used guard the convoy. Cover landings might do for a lesser used filler SA. Or something against/repelling aircraft in connection with the above.
The nickname 'blue beetle' came from her sporting the blue overall color scheme. Made her distinct from the company she kept it seems.

Would this have to be in the same sector as the aircraft was shot down to trigger? Otherwise it will be easy points and might bump cost a bit added to carrier escort.
