Always the problem with slang expressions, isn't it... don't expect
people with a different first language to understand them :-/

I would argue about the huge disparity between the NAC and the ESU. In
all 
probability, it would be more like
NAC 25
ESU 15-19

The NAC is going to have a larger navy, but not by that much

I can give some data for the OUDF:

Fast FFs - named after Racehorses
e.g Phar Lap, Gunsynd

Fast FFs (Torpedo armed) - named after venomous creatures.
e.g. Krait, Funnelweb

Patrol Vessels (Super Destroyers) named after Ports if regular forces,
rivers if paramilitary.
e.g. Freemantle (Port), Fly(River)

Light Cruisers
Australian/NZ or South Pacific words beginning in "N"
e.g. NullaNulla (Aboriginal Weapon), Nerandera (Town in NSW), Nandi
(Capital
of Fiji)

Heavy Cruisers
Words beginning with T or K, depending on class.
e.g. Tuvalu (Capital of Kiribathi), Tahiti, Tarawa, Kiribathi
(Micronesian
State)

Light Carriers
Words beginning with R or W, depending on class.
e.g. Rotorua, Wollongong

Exceptions:(Mass)
Anzac Class  (24) Partial Streamlining for landings
Keppel Class  (44) Stealth SpecOps ship
Luisade Class (48) Chasseur (Speed 8 Pursuit vessel)
Sydney Class (64) Escort (PDS galore!)
Solomon Class  (84) Fast CA
Auckland Class (90) Old, Fast CA/BC
Kosciusko Class (90) eggshell carrier
Canberra-II Class (134) close-range brawler

Have a look at
http://www.warpfish.com/jhan/ft/Archive/2000/feb00/msg01527.html
which gives designs for all but the Frigates - and these are in the Ship
Registry.

The Exceptions listed above are on Brendan Robertson's page.
