Matching historic admirals to warship types

What World War II ship types best suit the names Álvaro de Bazán, Pierre-André de Suffren, and Andrea Doria?

Andrea Doria is assigned to a battleship, while Bazán and Suffren are assigned to cruisers. Later commemorative names can appear on different ship types.

For this naming exercise, Andrea Doria fits a battleship, while Pierre-André de Suffren and Álvaro de Bazán fit cruisers. Spain's modern air-defence frigate named for Bazán shows that a commemorated figure can be associated with different ship types. Portugal repeatedly reused Vasco da Gama across generations of warships. One panelist recalls finding three different ships with that name in a photograph collection covering about thirty years, illustrating why a familiar name alone cannot identify a hull.
