If the target is still classified a 'bogey' how would you tell a BB from
a
CV or a large Merchant ship.
If you use USN designations then you might need 13+ bogey designations,
from Courier Boat to Superdreadnought to account for the size classes
in
Full Thrust.
Sticking to say Small = mass 1 - 18
Medium = mass 19 - 36
Large = mass 37 - 100
Very Large = mass 101+
keeps it simple without bringing in descriptive terms like Destroyer,
Frigate, Cruiser.
Still, why worry everyone to their own.
