A fictional ship described as a cruiser has a skeleton crew of only twenty-something people. That complement sounds closer to a sloop, or even a trawler, than a cruiser. The exchange shows how crew size can expose a mismatch between a fictional label and the scale of the vessel being imagined. The ship and author names are unclear in the captions, so the classification is the reliable takeaway.
