Question about hull classification.

[Falkirion]

Can anyone explain what CV, SS etc stand for? I know they're hull classifications but it doesn't make much sense to me.

SS - Ship submersible

CV - Cruiser, ...something

(I can't remember where I read that)

But they aren't really supposed to make sense

CV - Cruiser

C = Cruiser
V = Aircraft
This is also why Navy And Marine Corps Aircraft Squadrons have the V designation.

But here is a better list:

Yes, but I do remember the V standing for a specific word that links to aviation, can't remember which...

EDIT: Ah, your link has it, volplane, says it's only speculation though

V = Fixed Wing Aircraft
