Thanks for your note.

1. Putting everything in a single column gives room to either expand the list with a brief account of the career of the vessel (cf Revenge class battleship#Ships of the class), or else to decorate the list with illustrations (cf Flower class corvette#Royal Navy).

2. Some ships got lost in one of my edits. I put them back. Sorry about that.

3. My comment "not a Royal Navy frigate" is bit pedantic. What I meant was, "the article is about a class of frigates, not about a frigate as such." This is relevant because the category structure under Category:Ships at the moment contains only articles about individual ships. Thus Category:Royal Navy frigates contains only articles about individual Royal Navy frigates. Of course, each category page should have an introduction linking to the article about the class or type of the ships in that category, for example Category:Revenge class battleships has a link to Revenge class battleship. The ship class articles themselves belong in Category:Ship classes. This is the way lots of other Wikipedia categories work; for example List of aircraft carriers is in Category:Lists of ships, not in Category:Aircraft carriers.

At the moment Category:Ship classes has no further structure. It would certainly make sense to start subdividing it along the lines of Category:Ships, so that Captain class frigate would belong in Category:Royal Navy frigate classes and so on. Like many tasks, this is waiting for someone to be enthusiatic enough to do all the work! Gdr 16:16, 2005 Apr 11 (UTC)
