The conclusion keeps the classification tied to role rather than size alone. Galaxy ships combine exploration, diplomacy, laboratories, civilian life, and a capacity for combat conversion, which makes cruiser the useful category in this naval reading. Their wartime importance does not erase their broader peacetime purpose. Cruiser is an operational identity that can coexist with capital-ship weight inside a battle fleet.
