Funnily enough.....
In the Real World of Naval Combat Systems, if you have a really, really,
unusually good passive sensor track on certain vessels, you can tell not
merely the class, but the actual ship. And you have a database that
gives the last known captains of said ship, and a decent bio of them.

In the profession, the highest quality track Identification meant you
really,
genuinely COULD tell what the Captain preferred for breakfast. And his
hobbies. (but not neccessarily exactly where his ship is, but that's
another
 story.)
