er...it's a battlecruiser in IFN nomenclature? (as I recall, WWI Brit
BCs
were bigger than some of the battleships). Not convincing enough, I
take

Okay, let's save "Dimashq" for the CVL, use "Ashif" ("bold") for the CL,
and...hm...if we use the names of angels for the BDNs, then we still
need a
name for the BCs.
