How about we stop trying to completely stick with only letters? Like "Fast Battleship -> Fast BB -> F-BB" and "Armored Aircraft Carrier -> Armored CV -> A-CV"? It's just one more hyphen you know. If one wants to refer to both fast and slow battleships, he could use "(F)BB", and likewise "(A)CV" for both armored and unarmored standard carrers.

The thing is, F-BB and A-CV are not wrong even for the most strict military fans. For those who don't care and just want to simplify all the way, they can just say FBB and ACV, ppl can still understand; for hardcore military fans who wouldn't mind wasting their lives on typing, they can insist on Fast BB and Armored CV; for those in between, F-BB and A-CV.
