I don't know about the batch business, missed that post. I do remember
a while back (in season 2) when someone asked JMS about this, and the
poster went on to theorize that the letters indicated something do to
with what the main jurisdiction/sector the ships were to patrol (eg,
'C' for 'Colony Worlds', 'P' for 'Planetary (meaning Earth & local)',
etc). JMS' rather obtuse answer seemed to give credence to this, though
I've never been able to figure out where half the letters are supposed
to be sector-wise.
