[McAvoy]

Indeed, I think I alluded to 'Trek designations having more to do with role than with size or even total firepower.

I agree. In naval terms a battleship is still a battleship even though some heavy cruisers like the Des Moines class can take on a early WW1 battleship with a reasonable chance of success.

Though modern cruisers and destroyers are sort of muddled.
