"V" standed for the original two "V" Class ferries: Victoria and Vancouver. "C" standed for the original two "C" Class ferries: Cowichan and Coquitlam. "S" Class I believe either means "superferry" or "spirit" but that I don't know. And for "B," it doesn't exist and it's known as Burnaby Class.

Conventional is right but who came up with vailant for the V's C-Class=Conventional V-Class=Vancouver Or Victoria B-Class=Burnaby Here are some new names I've just thought of M-Class=Minor Q-Class Quinsam N-Class Northern Instead of B-Class try this one Intermidiate Class Including the Queens of Burnaby ,Nanaimo ,and Tsawwassen. According to the BCF website the Cap and Cumbie's Class is the Cumberland-Class so there not Intermidiate Vessels. or are they  |

Thats a load of **** I think, smack the author. It's for the Vic and Van, being launched after the Sydney and Tsawwassen, it's not Van or Vic, just V for V.
Even the Cs, the name conventional came after the Cowichan and Coquitlam were chistened.

Which book was that? To my knowledge, this is the first time that the V Class has been referred to as the 'Valiant' class.
That author must've been smoking something fine...

That's what I always refer to the S class as being Spirit Class. Where did the name Superferry come from is what I would like to know?? In the begining when the Spirits first came out everyone would say when they refered the the Spirit class as Superferries.

Im guessing the Super Ferries name is because of their size

S Class= Spirit
The Cumby and Cap are both "Capilano Class" not intermediate.
Minor, Intermediate and Large are all designations given to the vessels for other reasons such as Horsepower, which in turn changes crew sizes, pay rates lifesaving appliances, passenger counts etc....
For example, the Bowen and the Mill bay are quite different animals but are both MINOR vessels. This has just changed as of the last contract though and now the Bowen, Mayne, and Powell are all INTERMEDIATE vessels as they should be. The skeena is an Inter,
the v class c class and spirits are all LARGE

That sounds like what it should really be.
