BB/BC- I would have to say the South Dakota is a pretty good ship, at least for it's level. It can demolish most ships at it's level(level 50), and can take a beating from even top teir ships. Excellent armor, good guns(and secondaries), and decent speed. Maneveavibility is lacking, though. But for an actual OP ship, the best I've seen is the Lord Nelson class. At it's level, it's armor is simply insane. It's really easy to get the midden maxed out on armor, and have fairly thick fore and aft. It's starting guns are lacking, though the 6" triple guns looks really good for this ship(and 8" guns as well). And it's speed is decent, for a pre-dreadnought.

CA- For all I've seen, the Baltimore is by far my favorite heavy cruiser. It can mount good ammounts of armor, it's guns are very good, and while it lacks torpedos, it's other traits more than make up for that defincancy.

CL- ... Montecuccoli. Nuff said. Most CL's don't come anywhere near it in terms of abilities. Though, if I had to say one remotely close in OPness, I'd have to pick Atlanta or Cleveland.

Destroyer- Shimakaze. Good torpedos, good speed, decent guns. nuff said. Gearing for DPM with cannons, and gererous amount of torpedos. And finally the O-class and L-class, the former for insane armor(for a destroyer) and a OP reload on the smoke screen, the latter for decent guns, and even better armor if not using the better guns.

Submarines- I would have to say they would be the O-class submarine and S-class(USN), as they have pretty good dive time, non-horrible speed, and can use extremely good torpedos(the O-class can use the same torpedos as the S-class, level 30 torpedos)
