[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The designations of vessels change from speaker to speaker in the real world as well. Prior to WWII, it was fashionable to declare certain battleships (of older or smaller designs) to be "mere" battlecruisers, whereas after the beginning of the war, navies suddenly had battleships where battlecruisers had previously floated. I gather "starship" could have been intended as the TOS equivalent of "battleship". All warships do battle, but only the very biggest are called battleships. And all warpships go to the stars, but only the biggest are called starships. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
