It is a nice lesson, myself I spent much time learning Japanese Navy setups, ranks, ship names etc.....
In the end you should know that Freelancer fleets in space are different than the ones in RL. Traditional Naval fleets on Earth are designed and function (except subs) under the premise that they are stuck on a 2 dimensional plain with to completely different set of element on both side of the ships plane and each under a different state of matter (Water as a liquid underneath and Air as a gas overhead). All of this while cocooned in a shell of gravity. The rolls of the ships operating in the 3 dimensional space of the universe under zero gravity have different rolls to play than earth bound ones. Not ranting but I just feel it should be known that Sea Navies and Space Navies can't feasibly be compared beyond carrying familiar name designations and classes. People are comfortable with familiar :)
