http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lFT has been
intentionally generic in that respect to provide the
broadest possible background for people to use.  There has been no real
definition of speed, size, crew, distance units, time units, etc in the
FT rules, the Fleet Books provide some definition, but still don't list
stats like endurance, range, top FTL speed etc.

This is where one starts getting into issues with trying to equate early
20th century ship nomenclature to out in the future. Perhaps instead of
looking at it from a 20th century perspective look at what functions
ship have in the FT universe and work back form there?

IE line of battle, escort, support, carrier, independent patrol...

How much of anything has been gone over in the books regaring individual
or fleet sustainability in the long term? (Hmm time for a FT campaign
book?) Namely cruise duration between replenishments for fuel, stores,
wepaons etc.
