Like i said. Why not aCV (with small letter 'a') which is NOT the ACV that is Auxillary Aircraft Carrier. It follows the same unofficial style of designation used for fBBs. Doesn't tread on any toes with the official Hull Classification Supremacists since the 'a' is not part of code. It just stands for armored the same way f stands for fast

Regarding slow BBs, when it came to branching rules. It has usually been slow BBs getting the short end of the stick and had to be left out. Hence fBB alone was more than sufficient to state a need for that type of BB over the other. Usually in branching rules with slow BBs, fBBs were also allowed hence we'd just use the term 'BB' to encompass both groups. The only exception I can think of that strictly requires slow BBs is Bm4
