========================================================================================================================
Alternate Hull Classification Scheme #2:
Based on Defined Hull Classification Ranges:
Each Tier (ACS » BCS » WCS) increases by 2 Powers of 10, with intervening Power of 10 between BCS & WCS @ CCS/FCS Level
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ACS: Auxiliary/Adventure Class: (10)/100 - 2,400 tons
BCS: Battle/Bulk Class: (1,000)/10,000 - 240,000 tons
»» CCS/FCS: Capital/Fleet Class: (10,000)/100,000 - 2,400,000 tons
WCS: World Class: (100,000)/1,000,000 - 24,000,000 tons


The overlap in the cases above allows for the classification of some smaller vessels in the larger vessels scheme, when necessary.
So when clarity is needed:

  • ACS coded ship can be prefaced with "A-" before the code (A1-A9 & AA-AZ)
  • BCS coded ship can be prefaced with "B-" before the code (B0-B9 & BA-BZ)
»» CCS/FCS coded ship can be prefaced with "C-" OR "F-" before the code (C0/F0-C9/F9 & CA/FA-CZ/FZ)
  • WCS coded ship can be prefaced with "W-" before the code (W0-W9 & WA-WZ)


In each code range, the Hull Code would range from 0-9 & A-Z, but at the next higher order of magnitude:

  • ACS coded ship: "A0" is not used (< 10 ton) / "A1"-"A9" = 10-90 ton / AA=100 ton through AZ=2,400 ton
  • BCS coded ship: "B0" = < 1000 ton / "B1"-"B9" = 1,000-9,000 ton / BA=10,000 ton through BZ=240,000 ton
»» CCS/FCS coded ship: "C0/F0" = < 10,000 ton / "C1/F1"-"C9/F9" = 10,000-90,000 ton / CA/FA=100,000 ton through CZ/FZ=2,400,000 ton
  • WCS coded ship: "W0" = < 100,000 ton / "W1"-"W9" = 100,000-900,000 ton / WA=1,000,000 ton through WZ=24,000,000 ton


Thus (for example):

  • Hull Codes A1 thru AJ (< 1000 ton) would all fall under the Hull Code B0 in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.
  • Hull Codes AK thru AU (1000 ton - 1900 ton) would all fall under the Hull Code B1 (1000 ton) in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.
  • Hull Codes AV thru AZ (2000 ton - 2400 ton) would all fall under the Hull Code B2 (2000 ton) in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.


  • Hull Codes B0 thru BJ (< 100 kton) would all fall under the Hull Code W0 in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.
  • Hull Codes BK thru BU (100 kton - 190 kton) would all fall under the Hull Code W1 (100 kton) in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.
  • Hull Codes BV thru BZ (200 kton - 240 kton) would all fall under the Hull Code W2 (200 kton) in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.


Likewise:
  • Hull Codes B0 thru B9 (< 10 kton) would all fall under the Hull Code C0/F0 in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.
  • Hull Codes BA thru BJ (10 kton - 90 kton) would all fall under the Hull Codes C1/F1 thru C9/F9 in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.
  • Hull Codes BK thru BU (100 kton - 190 kton) would all fall under the Hull Code CA/FA (100 kton) in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.
  • Hull Codes BV thru BZ (200 kton - 240 kton) would all fall under the Hull Code CB/FB (200 kton) in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.


  • Hull Codes C0/F0 thru C9/F9 (< 100 kton) would all fall under the Hull Code W0 in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.
  • Hull Codes CA/FA thru CJ/FJ (100 kton - 900 kton) would all fall under the Hull Codes W1 thru W9 in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.
  • Hull Codes CK/FK thru CU/FU (1,000 kton - 1,900 kton) would all fall under the Hull Code WA (1,000 kton) in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.
  • Hull Codes CV/FV thru CZ/FZ (2,000 kton - 2,400 kton) would all fall under the Hull Code WB (2,000 kton) in the next higher classification when necessary, and more specified granularity is not needed.
