Since the Tornado and it's counterparts are much more Battlecruisers than the existing ones, wouldn't this be the opportunity to re-classify the existing Battlecruisers to Heavy Cruisers?
This would suit their Characteristics much more, and would also leave space for future additions to the lineup of Ships.
For me that seems to be a logical step, what do you think about that?

OR call the new ships Pocket Battleships making a new in between class?

I like the idea of this kind of reclassification, but then we'd have to go ahead and reclassify heavy assault cruisers as something else, and while we're at it, there are sure to be other ships that ought to be moved around. Ultimately, I don't think it will happen :(

POCKET battleship sounds less like a respectable ship class and more like a joke, however :|

No, since Heavy Assault Cruisers don't exist, there are Assault Ships and Heavy Assault Ships, i.e. Assault Frigates and Assault Cruisers :)
