I noticed some media is using “battleships” just as the synonym for “warships” since battle-war seems very similar. Also there are no really consistent even international classification (not to mention historical) of warships. Cruisers, destroyers and frigates assigantion changes sometimes - with many modern destroyers being bigger than cruisers and frigate and destroyer being used kinda ambiguously. For example, US Arleigh Burke class destroyers or Chinese Type 055 destroyers are bigger than basically every other modern cruiser except Kirov-class.
