Default Re: Ship sizes and order

CL is a Cruiser, Light. It cracks me up the people that call Light Cruisers LCs. Of course, I laugh almost as much from my own (Navy) point of view and prejudices as from the strange people that talk of LCs.

Other fleets than the US can have different names for ships types than those listed. Also sometimes the size order of ships is different in different navies. For instance I remember that in some country a Frigate is bigger than a Destroyer.
