Some years back I bought a copy of the "PR raumkampfsimulator", a hex
map boardgame on starship
combat in the PR universe. It included booklets with fleet info for the
Terran navy (1970-1984)
and the Topside fleet. I bought at the same time the Springer and
Uberschweren booklet and countersheet.

A while back I tried to convert the ship designs to FT, changing the
power ratings of the guns to c through
AA batteries. I needed to come up with a custom rule to simulate shields
in the PR universe. The smaller end
of the scale was doable, but when I came to the 1500 meter ships (Titan)
they weighed in at 1200 mass if I
remember correctly. (It does have 24 corvettes -universe term, not FT-
in its bays).

I'll dig 'em up (when I get back from the warzone).
