Plus it stood out because of it's color scheme/nickname. Carrier escort maybe over Convoy escort. Maybe some sort of cover landing SA.

Screened Lexington & Enterprise, took a kamikaze at Leyte, lots of convoy duty, engaged a lot of aircraft trying to attack it. How she get her nickname?

Its a super niche thing we frankly overuse. Counting battlestars are a nusiance for card creation. So often its cause the ship was on the periphery of fights,zo no damage.

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.

Different utility.

Otherwise it will be easy points and might bump cost a bit added to carrier escort.
