NS to return to nautical terms for ship types

The New Sparta Space Fleet is to return to using traditional naval terms for it's different types of spaceship. This is due to confusion and a blurring of the distinctions especially between the heavier combat orientated Fleet Combat Ship and Medium Combat Ship.

The combat fleet will consist of the following types:

Bombers (no change from existing class for strategic attack ships)
Carriers (no change from existing class)
Cruisers (Fleet Combat Ships: Type 35, Mulberry and Solaris)
Destroyers (Medium Combat Ships, Isometric, TS and Corkscrew)
Frigates (Lighter MCS, Rome, Mariner, Protector)
Corvettes (Smaller ships including Falcon)
Patrol Boats (Smallest combat ships)

No date has yet been given for the change though will be rolled out before the end of the year.
