I thought they were the SMALLEST class of oceanic war vessels, with cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers being larger.

Noöne has completed a battleship since the French Jean Bart in 1949. No battleships are operational

Russia built 4 large cruisers in the 80/90s. Only the Petr Velikiy is operational

Everything else that is not an aircraft carrier comes from destroyer designs (whatever they happen to be called)
