--- Quote from: Lind on October 01, 2015, 05:24:31 PM ---I think Jim may have lifted the ship class naming conventions off of David Weber's Honor Harrington series (a sci-fi take on Horatio Hornblower as opposed to Jim's steam punk take).
In increasing order in size in that universe with a line break
Destroyer
Light Cruiser
Heavy Cruiser
Battlecruiser
----
Battleship
Dreadnought
Superdreadnought

You are not wrong with your description, and I enjoyed the Honor Harrington series, but this naming scheme was not developed by David Weber, it comes from British Royal Navy classification, and is used in not only the Honor Harrington series, but also in almost all military SciFi series. Here is a link to a site that gives a lot of info on the classifications.
