A month ago, User:ScherzoPrime brought to my attention the fact that the aerial warship article wasn't complete. In addition, our definition of what constitutes an "aerial warship" isn't exact (since there is no exact definition from the games), and he proposed adding the following aircraft to the article:
 * UI-4053 Sphyrna
 * XB-10
 * Arkbird
 * Strategic Orbital Linear Gun

I also considered adding the Sphyrna as a heavy command cruiser, the even-more-specific designation of some aerial warships like the Aigaion.

For reference, the name "aerial warship" comes from Ace Combat Infinity, where AWACS Sky-Eye refers to the "Gyges and Kottos aerial warships!" It finally gave us an umbrella name for the superweapons that can fly and fire back. The problem is, we need to exactly define it. In my personal opinion, the Arkbird and SOLG do not count because the Arkbird is space-based and the SOLG has no engines (when Scherzo brought this up, he said the Arkbird should be counted but the SOLG shouldn't).

tl;dr What I'd like to do with everyone here is to figure out how the hell we should define an "aerial warship", where the lines should be drawn, and go from there. I'd also like to reaffirm the current definition of "heavy command cruisers" or redefine that as well. If we have any official sources, particularly from the AC6 game, website, or book (the latter of which I'll look through as soon as I can later tonight), please say so, otherwise leave your thoughts and we'll work on this together.
