Ship types and acronyms:

I'll probably go through the encyclopedia and apply these over time.

Battleship:  Pancernik is the convention but Okret Liniowy (LN) was "ship of the line" and I like that better.

Battlecruiser:  Krazownik Liniowy (KL), basically "Cruiser of the line"

Armored cruiser:  Krazownik Pancerny (KP)

Heavy cruiser:  Krazownik Ciezki (KC), which I haven't used yet

Light cruiser:  Krazownik Lekki (KK)

Protected cruiser:  Krazownik Pancernopokladowy but the acronym is KM (Maly = "small") to avoid another KP

Corsair:  Korsarz (KZ)

Monitor:  Statek z Wieżyczką (WZ), literally "turreted ship" since there was no USS Monitor

Torpedo Boat:  Torpedowiec (TR)

Submarine:  Okret Podwodny (PD)

Submarine Chaser:  Scigacz Okretow Podwodnych (SO)

Sloop:  Slup Wojenny (SL)

Corvette:  Korweta (KR)

Patrol Boat:  Okret Patrolowy (PT)

Gunboat:  Kanonierka (KN)
