What defines a ship class?

I'm in a bit of a bind here when looking at the Barracuda/Suffren class of submarines. In short, the design is called Barracuda-class by the manufacturer (Naval Group; they sold other Barracudas to the Netherlands) and Suffren-class by the French Navy. Is there a guideline of sorts as to how ship families should be named? I see for instance the Kilo-class submarines are just that, independent of their country of deployment, and same thing goes for the Agosta-class. But the category is a big mess so I'm quite unsure of the proper convention. Any input/advice is welcome. Superboilles (talk) 07:22, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very helpful, thanks a lot, and in fact exactly what I needed. Superboilles (talk) 18:26, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some of it depends on the general consensus of sources (if there is one), and sometimes you have to make a judgement call. As an example, I had to deal with this several years ago in this case. Parsecboy (talk) 18:53, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
