No, pulse-torp variant, or heavy fire-support type ship. From the text:
"BC/P - The BLACK PRINCE class battlecruiser (BC/P) is a heavy
fire-support
variant of the MAJESTIC class battlecruiser. Built in small numbers
since 2168,
its role is to support a fleet with heavy long-range firepower. Though
its
thrust is standard, it has a higher rotational ability than many ships
of its
size, allowing it to bring its limited-arc weapons to bear more easily.
In the
hands of a good captain, the BLACK PRINCE has proven to be a valuable
asset in
large-scale fleet battles and more production is planned. Service
Details
First entered Service: 2168

Lost in action: 1

Never said it was a pyramid-shaped hierarchy of ships out there. ;-)
Off to pack and go watch some Leonids...
