Battleship is an even more obsolete term than battlecruiser.

You mean slightly less obsolete, given there were still a few around in the 80s. No, the Kirovs don't count as a battlecruiser.

Well you see Kirov is not armored to survive a hit from her own weapons therefore

Actually this is actually a sillier derail then the original derail about whether a Burke could destroy the High Seas Fleet, since any weirdness in the Expanse's labeling of ship classes can and would be swept away in a great cloud of "the names for space ship classes developed centuries from now were influenced by, but do not correspond to, named used by 19th, 20th, or 21st century wet navies.

More that the Soviets didn't ever call them any such thing, thats something made up by randos in the West. As you say, names change over time.

Most annoying thing to me about Raised by Wolves is you have these things called Necromancers - that kills/disintegrates people. That's the exact opposite of necromancy!
