Indeed. Find me two navies who Whole heartedly agree on ship classes and I'll beleive it when I see it. ^^
The General nameing convention for ship classes represents a compromise between various world navies, most of whom started out with their own individual nameing conventions. The compromise starts ariseing when those navies started being allies, and no supprise should be present at all if this follows into space.
Let Ye navy who foots the bill, name the ship class, and all that rot.
