I believe anything can be on "escort duty"; it's the default behavior for automated military vessels. However, Escort-class ships are never put into fleets by the fleet formation AI and are probably preferentially put on escort duty. additionally, Carriers are set to Evade rather than the empire military tactic, while Capital Ships are automatically scaled up by the design AI based on the empire's maximum construction size. Troop Transports have a special AI when automated where they load troops from colonies with spare troops and sometimes shuttle troops around. If fleet formation AI is on, full transports will be placed into fleets and empty ones taken out.
