Since when? Obviously we don't know what's
normal in this particular world without a
scenario book. In WWI it wasn't normal for
escorts to particpate in the main battle line.
In modern time, escorts are never meant to come within
200 miles of enemy ships. In what way is 
this historically accurate?

When technology changes, somebody, 
presumably the occasional brilliant leader,
comes up with tactics they think match the
situation. When wars happen we find out
if it really works. So what really works here?
