How to interpret ship abbreviations?

In real life a ship class was usually named after the first ship of the class to be launched, or be commissioned. I've even seen on class named for three different function. About five years ago I assigned a large number of classes to reflect the 'First Ship' commissioned. I intend to start up again, and the first thing I'm doing is to assign class names in a way that will coincide historically with the real naming practice.
