Notes on Ship Terminology

Traditionally, the historical vessels from which the names of the modern examples above are taken increased in size along the progression below.
Note that for the names deriving from the age of sail, a proper "Ship" (or "Full-Rigged-Ship") always had at least 3 square-rigged masts and was thus larger and capable of longer voyages away from shore.
