Nominal ship types no longer match their operational roles in this campaign fleet. Battlecruiser hulls fill the heavy-cruiser niche, battleships cover both capital-ship categories, and light cruisers substitute for destroyers. Missions and capabilities therefore define the force structure as strongly as the formal labels. These campaign assignments show how operational demand can disrupt a neat taxonomy; they have no historical referent.

When larger ship types take over smaller ships' jobs
The campaign's designs blur formal categories as battlecruiser hulls serve as heavy cruisers and light cruisers perform destroyer work.
