Yes, and no. It's unlikely that all the Escort Class ship SSDs in 
Escort will make it to Fleet due to space constraints. At the moment, 
it looks like 2 of the 14 will be in the new book as it focusses on the 
big ships. Otherwise, PP:F will contain most of the content of PP:E.

Why buy PP:E beyond it's nice for us to get some cashflow into BITS to 
fund PP:F? ;-)

Well -

(1) It's a good intro version with all the new weapons bar spinals.
(2) the focus for the game is slightly different because the ships are 
eggshells compared to capital vessels so the feel is different as a 
result.
(3) there's a stunning Jesse DeGraff cover (which is different to the 
one for Fleet).
(4) Lots of SSDs that won't be in Escort (as mentioned above).
...(5) PP:F is probably 4 months off, slightly longer to get across the 
pond as that needs the distributors to actually order it.

Cheers,

Dom
