Alright, I am here to announce the new NAR flying ship classification system. It goes as follows:

AAX - Aerospace Auxillary (transport, hospital ship, etc.)

AFF - Aerospace Frigate (frigate, corvette, etc.)

ASL - Aerospace Ship, Light (destroyer, blockade runner, etc.)

ASM - Aerospace Ship, Medium (cruiser, ground bombardment vessel, etc.)

ASH - Aerospace Ship, Heavy (battlecruiser, battleship, etc.)

ACV - Aerospace Carrier (super carrier, light carrier, etc.)

AHL - Aerospace Hybrid, Light (any light hybrid)

AHM - Aerospace Hybrid, Medium (any medium hybrid)

AHH - Aerospace Hybrid, Heavy (any large hybrid)

An auxillary is any ship who's main role is supporting the fleet, not fighting.

An aerospace ship, light, medium, or heavy, is any ship who's main method of attack is missiles or guns, even if it has planes.

An aerospace carrier is any ship who's principle method of attack is aircraft, even if it has large guns.

An aerospace hybrid is any ship who uses both planes and guns as main attack methods, typically launching aircraft, and then pursuing a close range engagement.

I think this will make classifying aerospace ships easier, since each distinct type of ship has its own distinct hull classification symbol, which can easily be figured out.
