Rules

 * The order determines their primary, secondary, and tertiary roles - for instance, while a CAS can be used independently, they are better used in a fleet environment.
 * Ships with TWO or more letters are even more specialised to their role - for example, as there are two "D"s in "DDS-class carrier", it means the ship is designed almost specifically for the purpose of carrying fighters.
