The standard Mil-SF convention for ship classes seems to be "Jutland,
with excursions into 1980s USN and Napoleonic RN"...

For my last SF setting (http://tekeli.li/temptnot/) I deliberately got
away from the "space navy" feel and named the broad ship classes
"pickets", "intruders", "intruder leaders" and "walls". This seemed to
work reasonable well...

The new campaign I'm working on (http://tekeli.li/this-dim-spot/) is a
conscious homage to Aliens and its kin. Not sure yet just what that
implies for ship classes, but TL9 spacecraft are pretty specialised even
when they're carrying TL10 antimatter plasma rockets.
