-TG
fun though isn't it - I do the same thing, DD = Destroyer, DDE = Escort Destroyer, DDX = Destroyer (with a heavy weapon), DDF = Fleet support destroyer and so on
Re name classes, I stick to good old English Napoleonic/WWI/WWII class names - bit of a pain up the derriere though when for example, us English only built so many Tigris class vessels and I need names for a dozen more
Dunno about you, but I kind of think it adds a bit of realism to the game
Curious though, what is the largest number of ships anyone has had in their empire? I am up to 183 and wonder if anyone has got to insanely large numbers
