If you want pictures of a particular type, probably the best way is to look at the list of ships of that type, then look up the individual names here:

My only concern with pictures has been to check them against the in-game models for SH3, so I haven't been too concerned with details of the actual ships because I haven't been modeling them, just putting names with the proper classes. I had hoped to do something similar with SH4 and with SH5 once it has enough models to make it worthwhile.
