They very reason why fast bb is given a special code is that when we use kongou class, V.V. class, or bismarck in game, the game will told us we are using a ship of category 8, and when we use Ise, Fusou, Yamato, Nagato it would be category 9, and if it is Ise Kai or Fusou Kai it woild be category 10.

I know Paradox games like Hearts of Iron use SHBB (super-heavy battleship) to indicate Yamato-class and the cancelled Montana-class, but it's just them as far as I know. The original game data say thus api key is referring to Superdreadnought battleships, which is a pre-1920 concept with the official hull code for them back then is a single B. kc3kai give that XBB to avoid confusion caused by this unused code.

And the very link you gave says that Carrier does NOT stand for "Carrier Vessel". It's an offshoot of cruiser classification so it actually means "Cruiser Voler", Voler being French for "to fly".

Which means that things on this page is NOT limited to the US classification. For this reason I doubt the credibility of this page.

And, so CV actually means Aviation Cruiser at the beginning, lol. Thanks for the heads-up anyway.



"Unless you want to be horribly inconsistent..."

We are consistent, we categorize ships the way their respective owners did. IJN said Shoukaku is CVB (large carrier), so she was a CVB; USN said Essex is not, so she wasn't; RN didn't say anything about Illustrious, so it's up to us. We don't categorize IJN ships the American way, nor the other way around.

Mogami? Well, IJN considered her to be a CA anyway, they just faked her to be a CL.

No one say the page is limited to USN's classification but it is true that the info on that page need double verification as CVF isn't even a code for a type of ship and instead just the programme name. And as expected, some IP user added BBV to the page after KanColle anime air. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_hull_classifications&type=revision&diff=648753647&oldid=635717034

Also, we do not categorize ships according to how their original owner did, we classify them according to how Kadokawa did.
