And for those of you who missed this discussion from the past, note
that JMS' naval nomenclature does not necessarily correspond to
contemporary naval designations. Thus the Omega Destroyer would be
essentially, for all intents and purposes, equivalent to an attack

_heavy_ _cruiser_ was noticeably smaller.
