Subject: [GZG] ship roles

I only know the various ship type names as size classes. Where would I find
out what the point of "Attack cruiser" vs "strike cruiser" vs "escort
cruiser" is?  That's just an example--what about roles for various ship
classes and variants?

thanks

My take:

Attack Cruiser: A fire support/minor Line of Battle vessel
Strike Cruiser: a ship designed for independent operations, a "generalist"
ship Escort Cruiser: A ship designed to protect other ships (PDS heavy)
