I actually made these hull classification symbols up because they made more sense (no offense to real life symbols). For example: CC looks more like a Command Cruiser than a Battle Cruiser. And 'DDE' refers to specialized submarine killers, while a 'DE' is a ship that protects another ship from air/surface attacks (in other words, a 'screen'). For me, CVA means Assault Carrier because they are designed to be in the front lines, being able to lead a fleet by having a huge CSP (combat space patrol) out, and also able to withstand heavy punishment.

- I gave Escort Battleships and Escort Cruisers three sole purposes: to kill enemy aircraft, to protect their counterparts, and to survive long enough to. . . engage the enemy more closely. They basically have rocket launchers and Mk45s as primary armaments and dense AA gun emplacements. I fitted them to battleship and cruiser hulls because they need heavy armor to actually survive long enough to do their purpose.
