I don't think that all the ship classes have been [officially] assigned
class names yet. Those that have been (last I checked) are:

SDN-X: "Sol" class (for the planets, colony worlds, etc)

SDN: "Gaia" class (named after major continents/nations; eg, Africa,
North
American, Europe, Asia, Pangea, etc)

BB: "Luna" class (named after moons; eg, Luna, Callisto, Titan, Phobos,
Deimos, etc)

CA: "River" class (named after, well, major rivers! :)

CL: "Mountain" class (named after mountains; there is some discussion
going on about having a seperate 'Volcano' class)

DD: "Lake" class

The basic theme is geological features (more or less). I'm hoping for
a Glacier-class and a Cave-class to show up at some point here.  :)
