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.

Roger
