They're essentially running into the limitations of the game mechanics they laid down earlier, and now they're adding ships with characteristics different from what they anticipated they're now trying to fit the new ships into an old system of classification.

Also, with the update to the Speed mechanics a while back, speed is no longer tied to what the ship is called - you can actually have "slow" battleships with a listed speed of "Fastest" provided you have the turbines for it.
