First and foremost...

As you yourself note they were not type classed as BBGs and seems as how you have no authority to reclass them, that's just a dishonest use of a technicality. Especially in a thread with a OP about a BB(X).

If you're having to scrape the bottom of the barrel that much to score points, you clearly are not in a good position.

New Jersey (BB-62) as the centerpiece of Battle Group Romeo,, the first battleship battle group to deploy to the Western Pacific since the Korean War including Long Beach (CGN-9), Wabash (AOR-5), Merrill (DD-976), Copeland (FFG-25) and Thatch (FFG-43). Taken 12 May 1986 at the beginning of the deployment of the first battleship battle group. During this deployment Battle Group Romeo tested the feasibility, composition, and advantages and limitations of a Battleship Battle Group in environments from the Gulf of Thailand to the Bering Sea.

I guess the USN has no autority in how it classes its battlegroups then correct?

Sounds more like you my friend are in the bad position. See post 152 for a picture of your non-existant BBG (Battlegroup Romeo)
