It is unknown if the repetition of a letter in a class' classification — such as the {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} — has any significance. It is also important to note that while Covenant fleet personnel occasionally referred to their vessel's class by one of its three-letter codes, there was not a specific class that a code belonged to. For example, ''[[Incorruptible]]'' was occasionally referred to as a "''Reverence''-class cruiser", although it was actually an ''ORS''-class heavy cruiser. The term "''Reverence''-class" truly refers to multiple vessels ranging from cruisers to small scout ships,{{Ref/Reuse|Have S'moa}} such as the diminutive {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}}.
