I believe that cruisers, scout and treaty types will need to be a separate but similar work, it can include armored carriers. It would change the nearly finished battleship work so much, it would go back to being less than half finished.
Their origins in the frigates and dispatch sailing ships of the age of sail seems to be a good starting point, though they too have more ancient origins, in the age of oars. Since I am dealing with armored ships, the final ship designs covered will mainly be from WWII, though a few ships were completed later. A few of the early cold war cruisers also had some armor, I'll look at those too.
