The NAC or NSL really wouldn't have much in the way of XXG or XG craft 
(with the exception of things like the Walburg Ms, those being DDGs). 
However the FSE and ESU are very XXG and XG heavy. In some cases even 
being BBGs and BDNGs. If you've got an armament of Salvo Missiles or MT 
missiles, tack a G on there to indicate the guided missile compliment.
