Do not buy these at all. It's better to save up for a destroyer instead of this while you can since its bulkier stronger (damage wise) and has more range. Besides after the naval rework they bassicly lost their only use in the game, tanking naval fire for ships like battleships.

Them being as fast as transport ships is great but since they deal nearly no damage at all you're better off getting a battleship and tricking the enemy in its range. Since it's unlikely the transport will make it out of the battleships range if you follow it around.
