On the other hand – circa 1910 – they have capabilities similar to old (pre-turbine) unprotected cruisers, so classifying them as such seems about as appropriate as a classification scheme based on somthing after 1970.

For reference purposes, in the USN scheme KB means something like large (or armored) corvette. This isn't a thing that ever existed, but it's not absurd (both in this case, and in general).
