I thought that it was split into heavy (CA) and light (CL) cruisers, at least back during WW2. Also deviating from the two-letter pattern are carriers (CV) and escort carriers (CVL).
Damn, I really need to get into Gary Grisby’s War in The Pacific someday. It’s an amazing game, but immense and borderline unplayable, like Dwarf Fortress with you controlling a whole civilization.

No, cruisers are split into battle cruisers (CC), armored (CA), large (CB), light and a couple of others, some of which are even still in use. Pre 1920 cruisers were just “C”, destroyers “D” and battleships “B”.
