Not finally after all...Thanks for the clarification.For what it's worth (1) I think that the Soviet's designation system for its post-war warships was the only one that actually reflected what the functions of the ships were.For what it's worth (2) the American's 1955-75 definition of a Frigate and the French definition of a Frigate are much closer to the age-of-sail Frigate than the common definition. I also think that Ocean Escort has more "fitness for purpose" than Destroyer Escort and Frigate.For what it's worth (3) in recent months I've been looking through a lot of editions of Jane's as part of my research for these threads. How it's editors categorised warships was "all over the place". E.g. for a while the British County & Type 82 classes were Light Cruisers and the Type 22s were listed as Destroyers in some editions.
