Now that is not really the way it was done. No Task Force would
have DEs or Corvettes as escorts. They are too slow and would
not let the faster Cruisers and Desroyers reach max speed if
they had too....

PS. 25 kts would have a Hunt DE running at Flank speed to keep
up and would eventually cause an engine breakdown !!
